“Knowledge is power. It can help you overcome any fear of the unexpected.”

Jay Shetty

Dr. Jennifer Person (BHS 1993) believes in the adage “Knowledge is power.” She notes, “Knowledge helps you make decisions. Taking time to gather information may be harder and more time-consuming, but it helps me make better decisions. I use this philosophy in my everyday life and especially with my patients.” Currently, Jennifer is partner and Doctor of Chiropractic and Acupuncture at Family Chiropractic in Baxter, returning to her hometown from her prior position as business owner and Chiropractic Physician in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada. Jennifer earned her first BA degree in biology from Hamline University in 1999 and her second BS degree in Human Biology with a Doctorate in Chiropractic Sciences in 2002 from Northwestern Health Sciences University. She holds certifications in Acupuncture and Dry Needling, and is also National Board, Physiotherapy Board and Canadian Board certified. She has received training on techniques to treat and support ALS.

Jennifer was selected as one of Minnesota Top Chiropractors, 2019-2023. She was a recipient of the “Outstanding 75 Alumni” Award of Central Lakes College in 2014 and received the 2023 Paul Harris “Service Above Self” Award from the Brainerd Rotary.

Selected to travel extensively for a year performing with the international music group “Up With People,” Jennifer stayed with host families and participated in community service projects. Her work also included being a vocal instructor, teaching a 2.5 hour contemporary musical show to the cast, who were all from different countries. She says, “Having this background has given me the ability to be open to new ideas and experiences, to seek out uncomfortable and unfamiliar territories, and say ‘yes’ instead of ‘no’ to opportunities that appear on my life’s journey.”

Throughout the Brainerd lakes area and Canada, Jennifer is a piano accompanist for choirs, churches and community events and is a musical theater vocal director. She currently serves as vice president on the board of the Legacy Chorale of Greater Minnesota.

Jennifer has been featured in Lake Country Journal magazine in a 2018 article entitled, “No Drugs No Surgery Less Pain,” in Her Voice magazine in a 2015 article entitled, “Blending East and West,” and in Central Lakes College Alumni magazine in 2014 for “The Ripple Effect.”

Near and dear to Jennifer’s heart is being a part of the development and coordination of Camp Journey, a Brainerd Rotary program to help youth who have experienced a loss in their life. Since 2009, she has been chair of Camp Journey Grief Camp located in Brainerd.

For their influence in her life, Jennifer credits her parents saying, “‘Education was a gift;’” her mentor Sarah Aamot for “‘Giving me, as a music student, an opportunity to grow in something I loved;’” and mentor Jan Kurtz for “‘igniting the fire in me to explore other places and cultures.’”

Jennifer adds, “I try to remind myself how important it is to never lose sight of what and who you love.” eProgram prepare a4-c meal.

That knowledge is powerful.
