Physician Bio

Dr. Johnson graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in the year 2000 and began a multi-disciplinary practice in 2001. In 2004 she returned to Palmer College where she created the S.P.E.A.K. Program, a student clinic marketing program designed to provide doctoral students an opportunity for practical community healthcare education experiences, community members a healthcare resource and for new patient recruitment purposes to the Palmer Clinics.

Throughout that time she continued to consult with patients that presented with issues from the most basic request of maintaining good health to those that were at the end of their rope seeking a physician that would take the time to listen. Although time no longer permits her to practice chiropractic, Dr. Johnson has retained her position as Integrative Health Consultant and works with patients nationwide to assist them in the process of regaining, retaining and ultimately transforming their state of health.

Dr. Johnson has also spoken to numerous audiences about health, wellness, marketing and business related topics including the Iowa Chiropractic Society; Illinois Prairie State Association; Palmer College of Chiropractic ICN; Muscatine Community College; Scott Community College; Center for Active Seniors; Rock Island Arsenal Credit Union Employees; Executive Women's Golf Association; Palmer College of Chiropractic Homecoming (2000, 2001, 2007) and the National Education Association Leadership Conference.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Johnson has been a requested panel presenter at the 2006 Association of Chiropractic Colleges Research & Agenda Conference (ACC RAC) and poster presenter at the 2007 ACC RAC. Her work was cited in the Journal of Chiropractic Education on both occasions.
