Angie

Angie is our office manager. You’ll often find her at the front desk welcoming everyone as they arrive. She is also certified in our computerized spinal scanning, light therapy and x-rays, so you may see her tackling just about any anything. Since starting employment with Blau Family Chiropractic in 1996, Angie has enjoyed learning new things - in and out of the office - to stay on the cutting edge of chiropractic, insure our efficiency, and learn more about living a healthy lifestyle.

Angie lives in Baraboo with her boyfriend Jamie, dogs Woody and Miley and cat, Mew. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, gardening, reading, and tromping the trails of nearby parks. She is a fitness inspiration to us as a medal winning triathlete! She’s a tough cookie training and competing, but all heart off the course.

Question: Having worked here for 16 years, you must REALLY love it here; why?

Answer: I love seeing the miracles of chiropractic and how it improves patient’s lifestyles, not just their symptoms. It’s great to watch kids grow up over the years and see how they benefit from Chiropractic. And it feels good being a positive part of people’s lives as they get healthier!

Rachel S.

Rachel is our Lifestyle Educator, and loves helping others find ways to incorporate healthy changes into their lives. She is certified to help out in all areas of the office, and is currently finishing coursework to become a board certified traditional Naturopath. Rachel loves a challenge and likes to work with people who haven’t found health answers elsewhere and delights in helping people reduce or eliminate their need for medications. Another area of interest for Rachel is natural fertility/natural family planning and holistic parenting – she coordinates our Pathways Connect Holistic Parenting group.

Rachel lives in Portage with her husband Brian, son and daughter, and two doggies. A self-professed “tree hugger,” she actively enjoys the outdoors by camping, canoeing, gardening and exploring. And in her constant quest for knowledge, Rachel participates in the World’s Largest Trivia contest held annually in Stevens Point, WI.  

Question: If you’d rather be in the woods, why do you love it here?

Answer: (Besides working with an awesome, fun crew,) It’s so fulfilling to help others by empowering them to make significant changes in their health! I love to witness the transformation people go through – from managing health day by day just to get by, to suddenly taking control of their health and getting back to enjoying life!

Melissa

Our Patient Advocate Melissa is a go-to gal, and she can be found helping out just about everywhere in our clinic.  She is a certified chiropractic technician and has completed extra training to receive her chiropractic radiological technician certification. Melissa enjoys all aspects of her duties, but her face really lights up when you ask her about light therapy!
A Portage resident for 10 years, Melissa lives in town with her husband and 3 children.  Outside of work, she is a loyal volunteer at her church and select charities.  Melissa also enjoys camping and spending time with family and friends.

Melissa’s interest in the chiropractic field began in 2007 when she “realized the amazing capability our bodies possess to heal and balance themselves.  Chiropractic is one of the most useful tools we can utilize to achieve this level of optimal health.  The ability to truly enhance our lives comes from within each of us.” 

Question: It’s clear you’re quite fond of chiropractic, but what makes you LOVE it HERE?

Answer: The doctors and staff here at Blau Family Chiropractic are here to guide you to optimal health and I’m proud to be a part of it!
