Chiropractor
Zgia Kjonaas D.C.
Dr. Zgia grew up in the northern suburbs, farming as a young child with her grandfather, Dave Frattalone. She has been passionate about eating well and using the body efficiently since she was a young child. Her grandfather used to say "use your legs" on the daily.
Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs she learned a lot and loves working with people of all cultures.
Dr. Zgia was on the MV swim team in highschool and continued on to run marathons, workout regularly, and was in a figure show in 2014. She is passionate about the body from both an emotional and physical perspective.
In the last 20 years, she has been involved in missions to Africa, Mexico and Dominican Republic. She has seen the fruits of her labor and the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout. She believes everyday is a new day to discover your path and enjoy the journey.
Dr. Zgia is married to a wonderful man, who also takes his faith seriously and has led men and women in recovery throughout the twin cities and abroad. They have 2 young boys, and enjoy watching them grow up free of medicines, and chemicals. She is passionate about holistic medicine and having the boys adjusted regularly.
Recently, the clinic in Shoreview grew past capacity and made the change to Vadnais Heights. The clinic serves patients of all ages, cultures, and health levels. Her mission is not only 'to be heal, but be healed.' She hopes to continue this legacy by helping all those around her expand their lives, as they begin to feel more energy, gain perspective and grow the greatest capacity of what they are meant to do.
She has background in many different areas of specialty including diversified adjustments, Functional Neurology, Tonal techniques, nutritional testing and most importantly the healing of the nervous system which controls everything in your body. We only get one brain, one spinal cord. Take care to balance the input/output of the body.
Dr. Zgia getting her certificate in continuing education for Pediatric Chiropractic.
Office Coordinator
Marissa
Hi I'm Marissa! I am currently positioned as the office coordinator at Olive Me Chiropractic, where each day brings the fulfillment of connecting with our remarkable patients. The joy of being part of their healing journeys, and experiencing my own through chiropractic adjustments, is truly gratifying.
Beyond the professional realm, I find solace in nature, often indulging in leisurely walks accompanied by my canine companion. Recently celebrating my wedding in September has added an extra layer of enthusiasm to my life. I am eagerly embracing travel, exploring new hobbies, and welcoming the adventures that life unfurls.
Minnesota, my lifelong home, stands as a repository of diverse memories and experiences, each chapter contributing to the tapestry of my personal narrative. As I navigate the currents of life, I remain open to new possibilities and eagerly anticipate the unfolding of future chapters.
Office Coordinator
Sydney
Hi, I'm Sydney! I am from the welcoming community of Circle Pines, MN! I've always been driven by the passion for understanding people and helping them navigate life's challenges. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and am currently pursuing a master's degree in counseling at St. Marys!
I'm eager to foster relationships, listen to our patients' needs, and contribute to the overall health and vitality of those who trust us with their care. I love my own experiences with the chiropractor for the incredible pain relief it provides. As a child heavily involved in many sports, regular visits have been crucial. The welcoming atmosphere and genuine care within the clinic have also fostered strong relationships with my chiropractor and the staff! Every day brings new opportunities to make a positive impact on the lives of those seeking improved well-being!
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.
With a bachelor's degree in Christian Counseling from Northwestern University, I gained valuable project management experience at David Hardware Inc and served as Facility Manager at Eagle Brook Church - Blaine. Throughout my career, I've found fulfillment in my work and am thrilled to bring my diverse skill set to OMC.
My journey with chiropractic began in 2002 after a serious car accident left me with spinal fractures and broken ribs, revealing the transformative power of chiropractic care. Now, I'm passionate about sharing that experience and helping others find their path to wellness.
Building connections is at the heart of what I do, and I'm eager to forge new relationships here. Let's connect and make a positive impact together!
