Redefining Wellness Center
Every practitioner here has lived through chronic illness, chased answers, and found a better way. That experience is what they bring to every client.
Dr. Nick Ellenson graduated from chiropractic school in 2010 and began practicing Functional Medicine in 2016. His path into functional medicine started when one of his closest friends experienced a Lyme flare-up following childbirth. Determined to find natural, safe, and effective solutions, he dove deep into research on Lyme disease, mold and heavy metal detox, parasites, and the root drivers of complex chronic illness.
In 2020, Nick joined CellCore as their lead educational researcher, collecting cutting-edge research on supplements, herbs, and health topics to educate practitioners and clients through articles and live presentations. He has spoken at CellCore's ECO Live conference and is a regular guest on both Microbe Formulas' and CellCore's "Live with The Docs" series.
Nick is passionate about giving every client the answers they deserve. He is married to his wife Loretta and has two daughters, Riina and Amelia.
Dr. Amanda Buchanan was born in Louisiana and grew up in the Kansas City area, where she built roots through gymnastics, clubs, and community. She graduated from Kansas State University in 2010 with dual degrees in Kinesiology and Psychology, then earned her Doctor of Chiropractic from Cleveland Chiropractic College in August 2014.
Dr. Buchanan works with clients of all ages and is known for her patience, warmth, and genuine commitment to each person she sees. She goes above and beyond to ensure every client has the support and clarity they need on their journey to better health.
Outside the office, she loves spending time with her husband Aaron and their two kids, Sloan and Vera. She enjoys reading, time with friends, and volunteering with The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Dr. B is not only an incredible doctor but also an incredible person. Our entire family of five sees her. She's so patient and kind. My children beg to go see her.
Dr. Buchanan is one of the sweetest, humble, trustworthy and friendly people I have ever come across. The office is very welcoming and flexible.
Theresa Thompson is a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and health coach with a lifelong commitment to educating the public and addressing the global chronic illness crisis. Her core belief: mental and physiological health conditions are rooted in underlying causes, and when those root causes are identified and removed, the body recovers.
Dr. Thompson has helped hundreds of clients restore their health from conditions including chronic mind and mental health disorders, hypothyroid, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, Type II diabetes, insomnia, brain fog, and weight loss resistance. She uses a data-driven, evidence-based approach to build specific, individualized programs that target the source, not just the symptoms.
She graduated with honors from Life University in Marietta, GA, then earned post-graduate certifications in functional medicine, muscle testing, and microcurrent neurofeedback (MCN). A Michigan native, she practiced in Wyoming for 17 years while raising three children and now coaches clients locally and nationally from Colorado. Outside of work, she hikes, fishes, skis, rides her horses Spirit and Lee, and enjoys time with friends.
Vanessa's path into this work started in high school when she was diagnosed with endometriosis. After consulting a local acupuncturist in Hamilton, MT, symptoms that had persisted for five years began to clear within two weeks. That experience changed everything. She redirected her career from pursuing an M.D. to becoming a Licensed Acupuncturist.
After graduating from Southwest Acupuncture in Boulder, CO, Vanessa and her husband moved into their dream home in 2018, only to face another wave of debilitating illness. Years of doctor visits offered no answers for her fatigue, nosebleeds, chemical sensitivities, and severe brain fog. It was through functional medicine that she finally uncovered the real cause: mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and parasites. Her own recovery became the foundation of her practice.
Today, Vanessa combines root cause medicine with ancient Chinese medical practices to help clients uncover hidden infections and imbalances. She is a living example of what becomes possible when you stop managing symptoms and start addressing the source.
Vanessa was very helpful and thorough in explaining every step of my health journey. She made the whole process feel manageable.
After a year of extreme medical issues and seeing multiple providers with no answers, my quality of life has improved tenfold in two months.
Vanessa allowed me to open up. I felt completely safe through the whole consultation. I'm so excited for this journey.
Fantastic listener, awesome at explaining what's going on and what the plan is. I feel like I'm in great hands.
Laura (known as LC) holds board certification as a Holistic Health Practitioner and is a Professional Level Mind Body Spirit Release™ Practitioner. Her path into this work began when her three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome). Navigating IVIG infusions, Lyme treatment, surgery, and countless medical visits, LC committed herself fully to her daughter's recovery, and in doing so, discovered her life's purpose.
That experience ignited a deep drive to help others advocate for their own health and uncover the root causes standing in the way of optimal wellness. Specializing in chronic illness, LC uses Mind Body Spirit Release™ to identify recurring emotions, limiting beliefs, generational trauma, and subconscious patterns driving disease, then guides clients to address and release them.
LC's goal is to empower every client to find vibrancy, hope, and lasting wellness by recognizing their own innate power to create real change, from the inside out.
