Dr. Brea’s childhood home was once “The Chipota Resort” A name to represent the two beautiful bodies of water surrounding it: Chippewa River and Lake Wissota. It featured a bar, cabins, and even a wedding reception area.
With its ties to home and its symbolism as a place of restoration and reprieve, the name “Chipota” seemed the perfect fit for her down-to- earth practice.
You’ve always fallen back on your gift of “making it happen” to meet the needs of those you care about—no matter the obstacle.
Your trusty, color-coded calendar keeps things running smoothly and your appetite for a full life is satiated by family trips, and “oh my gosh, we’ve been talking for 3 hours” visits with friends.
But wincing when you wake up…feeling “off” each day is monopolizing your energy and attention.
(and unsure how to prioritize themselves).
Personalized functional medicine and chiropractic care for those always giving to others
Restoration for the overwhelmed and overworked.
It’s so disheartening to hear a patient say “I’ve tried getting help before, but no one really heard me.” We want to hear your story, we want to hear what’s stealing your moments, and we want you to feel safe enough to share.

Our practice is not the “in-out-prescribe-move-on” model so many of us are familiar with. We’re here to sift through the messy middle. We know that symptoms are merely signs pointing us toward a gnarly root and are determined to dig it up.

Our approach to getting you back to what matters:
Your day should not be dominated by your symptoms.
“Surviving” is not living.
After years mastering my craft as a chiropractor, I opened up Chipota Wellness Center in 2021. Shortly after I received post graduate advanced training in functional medicine through The Institute of Functional Medicine, The Kalish Institute, and Funktional Nutrition Academy to offer my patient's greater whole-body care.
I specialize in Graston Technique, a stainless-steel instrument-assisted approach to soft-tissue therapy. It's used to detect and remove scar tissue build up in the muscles that lead to pain and restriction.
How I can support you:
The world of medicine is stretching farther and farther from its roots. Healing. Wholeness. And Humanity. The three things so rarely experienced in an office visit that at best: prescribes a symptom-masking pill and at worst: leaves you with a misdiagnosis, more confusion, or feeling like you shouldn’t have bothered speaking up.
To widen the possibilities for healing and meet women exactly where they’re at and years of mastering my craft, I’ve combined my Chiropractic experience with Graston Therapy technique, and Functional medicine treatment.
I wish I could shield all the women being prayed upon by “health coaches” and de-humanizing doctors who claim to have the “secret simple solution” to their struggles.
I’m here to remind you that you have the power to take charge of your own health journey. That you don’t have to “work around” this new normal. Hope is not lost, far from it.
Hey there, I'm Dr. Brea
Let’s unlock your individual path to healing.

I recommend Dr. Brea to everyone I come in contact with. I have never adjusted as well as I do after starting the Graston Technique with her and I am so incredibly thankful! On top of always being professional and direct, Dr. Brea is so kind and compassionate to your needs. I cherish her as my doctor and my friend!

I was looking for help when it came to difficulties I was having with PMS and the possibility of hormone imbalance. I just couldn’t stand how I felt and how I acted toward my husband and kids during this time of my cycle. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Brea, a functional medicine provider who listens and dissects potential root causes for these issues.
As an always-striving business owner, it’s often a challenge to maintain a work-life balance (a struggle I’m sure you understand!) But I know that what really makes life worth living is a room full of laughter, smiles you can’t resist, and time with your people.
I’m at my happiest living life with loved ones
Self-care is a lot more than bubble baths and face masks. I don't believe it needs to “look” a certain way. Self-care is listening to my body and filling my own cup which currently includes: taking time to read, easing stress in my infra-red sauna, and eye-ing up a hot yoga membership!
I’m enjoying a self-care exploration
