I would like to welcome you to the first post on the new Windsor Heights Wellness Blog. I am Dr. Jennifer Rahe and own Balance Chiropractic & Wellness, in Windsor Heights, IA. I have been practicing for 5 years, the last 18 months here in the Greater Des Moines area. My time in Windsor Heights and Des Moines has been a great learning experience, between starting a business during a down-turned economy, and planning a wedding amongst the down economy and new business! I have learned a great way to meet new people and generate business is through the extensive networking that takes place in this city. It’s through this networking that I have been given the opportunity to branch out into social and web based media and marketing.
My goal with this blog is to continue to educate Windsor Heights and the surrounding Des Moines communities. I will discuss mostly health and wellness topics, but would also like to let the community get to know me a little bit better as well. As I mentioned, I started a business and planned a wedding all in the same year. It has been exciting, and stressful all at the same time. I am reaching the home stretch, and will be married Oct 24th right in Ankeny, IA. My fiance, Brian and I live in Ankeny with our 2 dogs, Jojo, a 3-year-old Bichone, and Butkus, a 2-year-old boxer/lab mix. We enjoy taking them for walks around Gray’s Lake, and are looking forward to the new dog park that is being proposed in the Ankeny area. Brian and I also enjoy the Chicago Cubs, and our local team, the ICubs. We are also Hawkeye fans, especially football and wrestling. Our families are fairly close by, so we take the opportunity to spend time with them as much as possible.
I started out business motivated and ready to be a part of the community. As a result of that, I have been active in a local BNI networking chapter, am a member of the Central Iowa Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, and will be taking over as president of the Windsor Heights Chamber of Commerce. The support that comes from these organizations is amazing, and I appreciate every single member for their contribution.
I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge with these communities, and look forward to comments, questions, and suggestions from readers, so please feel free to communicate with me through the blog, via Twitter (@DrJRahe), Facebook fan page (Balance Chiropractic & Wellness) and email (balancechiroandwellness@hotmail.com).
Life is good…Chiropractic care makes it better!
Dr. Jen
