Chiropractor
Zgia Kjonaas D.C.
Dr. Zgia: From Big Pharma to Natural Healing
"I spent years working at HealthPartners selling non-invasive pain medications. I understand the medical model intimately - and I also understand its limitations. I was skeptical of chiropractic care myself until I experienced firsthand how addressing nervous system dysfunction changed everything."
Lead Chiropractor
Dr. Ben Lemke, D.C.
Dr. Ben Lemke: From Military Medicine to Holistic Health
"My journey began in the U.S. Air Force, where I learned the value of precision, evidence-based protocols, and comprehensive health approaches. This military medical background taught me to respect both the complexity of the human body and the importance of addressing root causes."

Front Desk Coordinator & Patient Care Specialist
Rylie
Hi! I’m Rylie, Olive Me Chiropractic’s Patient Care Coordinator and Chiropractic Assistant. I grew up in the small town of Eden Valley, where community and connection have always been part of daily life. That same small-town care is what I love bringing into the clinic—helping every patient feel seen, supported, and at ease from the moment they walk in the door.
COO
Dave Kjonaas
Hey there! I'm Dave, excited to join the transformative journey at Olive Me Chiropractic. Fun fact: I'm an identical "mirror-image" twin-yes, it's a real thing! Outside of work, I cherish moments with loved ones, explore the great outdoors, stay active, jet-set to new places, and nurture my spiritual growth.
