Meet Our Professional Staff

"... Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance,
and there is only the dance."

~T.S. Elliot

Timothy Montag, Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Montag joined StillPointe in 2006. He has special interests in athletic injuries, rehabilitation, preventative health care and nutrition; and has had training in CranioSacral therapy, as well as the activator technique for chiropractic adjustments.

“I’m originally from Sauk Rapids, MN and I’m excited to be back in the area. I personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic care and want to share that with others. I like the natural focus of chiropractic and strongly believe in the importance of integrating chiropractic with other health care professions. I make my recommendations based on clinical research and clinical experience, and do my best to individualize each person’s treatment plan to maximize their health.” ”

Lee Aberle, N.D. (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree)

““You could say that I treat from cancer to acne and from diabetes to the common cold, but the truth is that I treat more than just your symptoms. I treat everything that makes you who you are, everything that makes you unique. That is the strength of Naturopathic Medicine. I adapt to suit your needs based on the philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine and in the healing power of nature.”

“The cutting edge of medicine is working with a patient’s unique attributes to help them understand their body and their health. Naturopathy is grounded in science and allows me to work with patients’ conventional practitioners to provide complementary therapies or alternative therapies.”

“I believe that you know your body better than any “expert” and that it is my job, as your Naturopath, to help you find answers that work for you and your lifestyle. You need to be a full partner in your healing process. I want to provide you with the guidance and support to revitalize your life. My goal is for you to reach your full potential.” ”

Katrina Clifton, Licensed Acupuncturist

Katrina loves her job because it gives her the ability to return people to what they like to do – whether it is athletes to the playing field, mothers to hold their children or the elderly to regain their independence. When people walk into the office in pain and leave with a smile on their face, that makes her feel very good.

“I love providing people another option for their health. I am a talented, experienced acupuncturist who can ease pain, digestive issues, allergies and countless other ailments through acupuncture and Chinese massage.” ”

Kathy Hagemeister, C.C.T., C.N.H.P.
Electrodermal Screening Technician and Health Education Coach

Kathy brings 10 years of experience to her position at StillPointe. The first five years was spent as the clinic office manager, chiropractic technician and nutrition advisor. Over the past six years she has educated and coached clients in the area of nutritional health and wellness with the use of EDS. Kathy also takes a leadership role within the EDS group to establish consistent practices and procedures, as well as contributing to clinic staff development and nutritional training.

“The majority of my clients have had long-term health issues and are seeking positive results without the use of chemicals. The outcome has been phenomenal. The screening process enables me to get into their energy levels, providing the information needed to correct long-standing health problems. Our bodies have the ability to heal, and teaching clients that aspect of their well-being is very rewarding. At the end of a day, I ask myself . . . did I make a difference in someone’s life? That is what inspires me to do the work I do.” 

Carol Athman, C.N.H.P.
Electrodermal Screening Technician and Health Education Coach

Carol’s experience has shown that men, women and children – even infants – have successfully used EDS to deal with any number of health issues.

“Thirteen years of chronic fatigue led me to the world of alternative medicine. EDS took me from a life of fatigue, endless rest and sleep, achiness and digestive problems, to a life of health and wellness. For the past 3-1/2 years, it has been my privilege to help individuals suffering from similar debilitating illnesses. The key is figuring out why the body is responding in such a way. Through the use of EDS, we can find the answer to this question and when we do, it can be as it was for me – life-changing!”

Shanna Seguin
Electrodermal Screening Technician and Health Education Coach

Shanna has been a health education coach for approximately five years and looks forward to a career in the natural health profession.

“When I saw amazing results for my family with EDS, I decided that EDS was a tool I wanted to incorporate into helping people who wanted to become healthy naturally. EDS is a very successful way to establish balance in the system for people of all ages. It takes the guesswork out of detoxification and supplementation.”

Jane Reckow, Certified Massage Therapist

Stress injury and pain create imbalances in our lives. At StillPointe we strive to create an atmosphere and culture that nurtures balance, creating the harmony that enables a healthy healing environment for our clients.

“Listening and hearing what your individual concerns are help me to tailor a therapeutic session designed to best suit your needs and support your own personal healing process. After my introduction to aromatherapy and therapeutic-grade oils eight years ago, I learned a lot about ‘body work’ and somatics which led me to a career and life change. It actually began with this clinic and has led me to a much more fulfilling life path that has guided me and my clients to expanded growth and healing.”

Rachel, Brehmer, Certified Massage Therapist

Massage therapy is extremely beneficial to easing body pain and discomfort from overuse or injury. It also provides an opportunity to learn how your body works, information on self-care or how to prevent future injury, and contributes to helping people of all ages bring their bodies back to full potential.

“I personally have experienced what the power of touch and a healthy lifestyle does for a person’s overall health and well-being. I wanted to share that knowledge through my profession and believe people can live every day to its fullest and feeling their best. As a massage therapist, I utilize a variety of techniques, personalizing each massage to help clients overcome pain, stress or injuries and get back to feeling relaxed, productive and happy.”

Nancy Vouk, Licensed Esthetician

Nancy has over three years of experience in the field of esthetics and helps her clients restore healthy skin through education and organic, healthy skin treatments. She promotes the use of safe, all-natural skincare products and has a complete line available at StillPointe. Services provided include a variety of relaxing facial treatments as well as full skin analysis and treatment techniques or facials.

“I enjoy helping people develop healthier skin and teaching them skin-care practices that will keep them looking good for a lifetime. I am fascinated with how the skin serves to protect us from our outside environment. With the challenges our skin is faced with daily, I am committed to providing proper skin care to my clients through the use of organic skin care products. Providing and assisting clients with education on how to achieve and maintain beautiful skin is a continuing goal of mine. Not only do these methods provide healing remedies to the skin, but also give clients time to relax and enjoy some quiet time.”
