The Village Feature: Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique

Prenatal, Pediatric & Family Chiropractic Care Serving Columbus, Beaver Dam, & Beyond

Pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood ask so much of woman’s body – and having the right support can make all of the difference.

That’s why I am so honored to introduce you to Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique, a family – centered chiropractic practice serving Columbus, Beaver Dam and surrounding Wisconsin communities.

Led by Dr. Janel Voelker – this practice offers thoughtful, thorough and deeply personalized care for each patient no matter if they are women, babies, children or the entire family. Janel has a special passion for supporting mothers through their pregnancy, labor and beyond into motherhood.

Meet The Heart Behind Holistic Life Chiropractic

Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique is owner and operated by Dr. Janel Voelker, D.C., C.A.C.C.P., a chiropractor with 19 years of experience with a deep calling to serve families.

Dr. Voelker’s passion lies in helping women so they can experience healthier, more natural pregnancies, smoother labors and to feel supported in their postpartum healing. This care naturally extends into serving their babies, children and families.

In April 2024, she and her family had purchased their Columbus, WI office – a space that is rich in meaning. The building was originally built out by her late brother and father over 25 years ago, and Dr. Voelker had worked in this special space before attending chiropractic school.

To preserve the legacy of the space while continuing to serve families that are close to home was incredibly important to her. Today, that legacy lives on through her practice.

What Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique Offers

Holistic Life Chiropractic provides full-body chiropractic care for the entire family, with specialized focus on women during their pregnancy, babies and children.

Services Include:

-Prenatal Chiropractic Care

-Pediatric Chiropractic Care

-Family Chiropractic Care

-Cranial Work

-Digestive And Extremity Assessments

-Muscle Testing

-High Quality Supplement Work

In their Columbus, WI office, they also offer:

-Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency Therapy (PEMF)

-Zero Gravity Massage

In addition to chiropractic care, the space also includes a Christian – focused boutique, thoughtfully curated to support families beyond the adjustment table.

What Makes This Practice Unique

One of the things that patients consistently share is how thorough the care is at Holistic Life Chiropractic.

Dr. Voelker doesn’t just adjust one area of your body – she checks patients head to toe at every single visit.

This Includes:

-Full Spine

-Extremeties

-Digestion

-Cranial Work

-Nervous System Function

No two patients have the same adjustment, because no two bodies are the same. Every visit is tailored to the individual patient’s needs. By doing this, it allows the body to heal and function at its best.

Patients also deeply appreciate the practice’s knowledge and guidance around quality supplementation to support whole – body healing.

What Dr. Voelker Loves Most About Her Work

The answer is quite simple: the patients

Appointments are intentionally longer, patients become more than just a name on a schedule. Dr. Voelker and hear team truly know the families that they serve – their stores, their children and their wellbeing.

The connection is at the heart of everything that they do.

Something Most People Don’t Know

Dr. Voelker is not only a chiropractor – she is also a ChiroPastor.

She and her husband were called to open a church while living in Tomahawk, WI. Founding The Rock Church four years ago. Dr. Voelker served as head pastor for two years before they were called bvack to the Columbus area to care for her aging parents.

She was able to be with her father when he passed in May – an experience she considers one of the greatest gifts that God has given her. Although chiropractic care is her primary calling, she continues to preach, fill in at local churches and speaks at women’s conferences.

That depth of care, faith and life experiences flows naturally into how she serves families.

A Special Message For Local Moms

Dr. Voelker considers it to be a true honor to care for women during their pregnancy and to continue to care for their little ones.

She loves to witness the changes that chiropractic care can bring to a woman’s body – helping labor an delivery move more smoothly. As she often says, she works to ensure that the “portal of exit” is as open as possible.

Dr. Voelker holds Pediatric and Perinatal Certifications from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is Webster Certified. Combined with 19 years of experience working alongside families, pregnant mothers and midwives, her care is both deeply informed and deeply compassionate.

The Village Feature: Peaceful Serenity Massage

Prenatal Massage for Expecting Mothers in Sun Prairie, WI

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body- emotionally, physically, and mentally. As beautiful as the season of pregnancy is, it can also come with aches, tension and discomfort. These things can make your daily life harder than it needs to be but also harder than it should be.

This is why I am so pleased to introduce you to Peaceful Serenity Massage, a Sun Prairie – based business that is dedicated to helping expecting mothers feel better in their bodies while they are growing a tiny human.

This service is intentional and designed specifically for mothers-to-be.

Meet Jacquie, the owner of Peaceful Serenity Massage

Peaceful Serenity Massage is owned and operated by Jacquie Turner, a massage therapist with nearly 11 years of experience.

After spending years refining her massage therapist skills, Jacquie felt the pull to branch out onto her own. This has created a space where she could offer focused and personalized care to her clients. Three years ago, she opened her own practice which is now known as Peaceful Serenity Massage.

Jacquie’s calm presence, experience and attention to detail truly makes every massage session feel supported.

What Peaceful Serenity Massage Offers

Jacquie specializes in prenatal massage – working exclusively with the side-lying position.

What does the side-lying position do?

This position is ideal for pregnancy because it:

-Supports the growing belly

-Reduces pressure on the lower back and hips

-Improves circulation and comfort

-Allows the body to fully relax

-Keeps both mom and baby at their safest

Each session is designed to help expecting mothers feel more at ease, connected to their changing bodies and of course more comfortable.

What makes Peaceful Serenity Massage Unique

Jacquie’s work is centered on one simple goal:

Helping pregnant women feel better in their changing body.

Her experience allows her to understand the unique physical demands of pregnancy – from tight backs and sore hips to the general fatigue and tension that comes with pregnancy. Jacquie’s approach is gentle, intentional and also tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Massage therapy is not a one-size fits all experience. It is care that adapts to where you are currently in your pregnancy.

What Jacquie Loves Most About Her Work

I always ask business what they love most about their work and Jacquie’s response was that she loves running her business out of her own private suite. She was able to make it a calm, welcoming space where she can manage every detail.

The autonomy allows her to create an experience that not only feels personal, peaceful and not rushed from the very beginning.

Something Most People Don’t Know

While Peaceful Serenity Massage has been operating independently for three years, Jacquie has actually been practicing massage therapy for almost 11 years.

The depth of experience that Jacquie shows in her confidence and technique can be felt through every session.

Why Monthly Prenatal Massage Matters

Jacquie loves to educate expecting mothers on how beneficial monthly prenatal massages can be during your pregnancy.

Regular prenatal massage can help:

-Reduce muscle tension

-Improve sleep

-Ease stress

-Support overall comfort

-Encourage relaxation during a physically demanding season in your life

It’s one simple way that expecting moms can care for themselves while still caring for the baby that they are growing.

The Village Feature: Happy Hound Adventures

Helping Families Safely Itegrate Babies and Dogs in Sun Prairie & Madison, WI

Bringing a baby into your home is one of the most exciting and emotional milestone of your life. However, for some families who already have a dog, it can also come with some uncertainty, questions and concerns.

How will my dog react?

How do I keep my baby safe?

How do I introduce my dog to my baby?

What does a healthy transition look like?

That’s exactly where Happy Hound Adventures comes in.

Serving the Madison and Sun Prairie areas, Happy Hound Adventures helps families safely and confidently integrate babies and children into homes with dogs. By using education, guidance and positive reinforcements.

Meet the Owner: Nora Barman

Happy Hound Adventure is owned and operated by Nora Barman, a professional dog trainer who saw a major gap in education especially when it pertains to babies and dogs.

After having her own daughter, Nora’s pediatrician went through the standard safety checklist, asking questions about stairs, older siblings, pets and so on.

But when it came to dogs, the guidance felt quick, vague and not truly complete.

This moment has stuck with Nora.

As both a dog trainer and a mom, Nora realized that there was truly a lack of education around how to safely and successfully raise babies and dogs in the same home. Since then, Nora has made it her mission to bridge the gap and this is how we now have Happy Hound Adventure.

What Happy Hound Adventures Offers

Happy Hound Adventures recently launched their P.A.W.S. and Pacis Program. These are specifically designed for families with babies, young children and dogs.

The goal is simple but so powerful:

To help families live SAFELY, CALMLY AND HARMONIOUSLY – without fear, confusion or stress.

This program focuses on:

-Education for parents

-Understanding dog behavior

-Positive reinforcement training

-Creating realistic routines

-Preventing unsafe situations

-Building trust between dogs and children

Rather than reacting to the problems, Nora’s approach is proactive- setting families up for long-term success from the very beginning.

What Makes Happy Hound Adventures Unique

Nora is one of the very few dog trainers in the area who is specifically educated in this topic.

She combines:

-Professional training

-Positive reinforcement methods

-Real life parenting experiences

-Family centered strategies

She doesn’t just teach dogs- she teaches families how to function as a team.

Nora’s goal is not just perfection but it is for you to have confidence, safety and a peaceful home.

Why Families Love Working With Nora

Nora’s favorite part of running her business is getting to know families that she works with. She helps them to build the routines that allow everyone in the home to thrive- dogs included. Watching families grow into strong, confident teams is what truly fuels her passion.

That care is felt in every single session, no matter the family.

Something Most People Don’t Know

Many people recognize Happy Hound Adventures for its dog training – but fewer people know about their P.A.W.S. and Pacis Program.

This program is specifically designed for families with babies and even young children and it is one of the most valuable resources available for expecting parents with dogs.

Nora wants more families to know: You don’t have to “figure it out as you go.” You can prepare.

Nora offers both in-home and virtual sessions, allowing more support no matter where families are located.

PAWS and Beyond is also offered and that is geared specifically towards families with toddlers and older kids.

What Does P.A.W.S Stand For

Prepare ahead- setting dogs and families up for success before challenges arise

Always supervise- understanding that management and awareness are key to safety

Watch body language- learning to read subtle stress signals before they escalate

Separate as needed- knowing when and how to create space to keep everyone comfortable

Supporting Families From Pregnancy Through Childhood

Happy Hound Adventures Works With Families

-During pregnancy

-With newborns

-With toddlers

-With older children

Nora believes that education is the foundation of safety – and when families feel informed, supported and confident – everyone does better, your dog too!

Dogs aren’t the problem.

Lack of guidance is.

And that is what she is here to change.

The Village Feature: Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services

Empowered Midwifery Care Serving Madison, Beaver Dam, Columbus, Waupun & Southeast Wisconsin

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are some of the most sacred, vulnerable, and transformative seasons of a woman’s life. And yet, so many women feel rushed, unheard, or unsupported during these moments.

That’s why I am so honored to introduce you to Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services, a midwifery practice serving Madison, Beaver Dam, Columbus, Watertown, Waupun, and surrounding areas of Southeast Wisconsin.

This is more than medical care. This is deep, intentional, soul-centered support.

Meet the Heart Behind Birthing Miracles

Birthing Miracles is led by Joey, a licensed midwife whose calling to this work runs incredibly deep.

Before becoming a midwife, Joey worked as a doula in hospital settings. It was there that she began to realize something powerful: women deserved more. More education. More autonomy. More belief in their bodies. More support for natural, physiological birth.

So she asked God what she was meant to do — and this path opened.

Today, Joey describes herself as honored to walk alongside women during the most miraculous moments of their lives. She doesn’t just attend births — she holds space, teaches, empowers, and nurtures families from preconception through postpartum.

What Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services Offers

Joey provides comprehensive midwifery care that focuses on education, empowerment, and whole-family support.

Her services include:

• Pregnancy care

• Birth support

• Postpartum care

• Breastfeeding support

• Preconception care

• Education throughout every stage

She believes birth is a miracle — and so is the woman carrying it.

Her approach honors both the physical and emotional experience of motherhood, ensuring women feel informed, supported, and respected in every decision they make.

What Makes Birthing Miracles Unique

One of the most important things Joey wants families to know is this: midwives are highly skilled medical providers.

Birthing Miracles offers care that includes:

• Medical licensing

• IV skills

• Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) training

• Twin deliveries

• VBAC support

• Breech deliveries

Midwifery care blends clinical knowledge with emotional and spiritual support — giving families both safety and connection.

What Joey Loves Most About Her Work

When asked what her favorite part of running her business is, Joey’s answer is simple: everything.

She loves:

• Meeting new clients

• Watching families become empowered

• Seeing confidence grow

• Witnessing transformation

• Supporting families of all sizes

From first-time moms to families of 14 — every journey is sacred.

Something Most People Don’t Realize

Many people don’t know that midwives are licensed medical providers with deep clinical training.

They aren’t “alternative” — they are skilled, educated, and capable professionals who offer a different kind of care: one that centers the mother, honors birth, and supports families holistically.

What’s Coming Next for Birthing Miracles

Joey is building something truly special.

Upcoming offerings include:

• Postpartum groups

• Breastfeeding meetings

• Breastfeeding education

• Prenatal education

• A collective of doulas

• An all-in-one support space

Her mission is simple: to give families education, empowerment, and confidence through every decision they make.
