Kendra Hall

Kendra Hall
​
Kendra and I have shared many clients in the Minneapolis/St. Paul community over four years. I can’t praise her skills, empathetic and dedicated care enough. She genuinely advocates for her patients’ health and well-being, taking the time to find the best care plan for each individual. When I refer clients to her, I have complete confidence that they are in the best hands. My experience working with Kendra has made a significant difference in my clients’ quality of life and their experience as mothers.
I most often refer clients to Kendra when they experience post-partum neck and upper back pain from chest feeding, chronic low-mid back pain during pregnancy, or when pregnancy massage doesn’t provide relaxation for at least two days.
She is currently working out of Active Health Chiropractic in St. Paul MN. Below is her bio on their website.
https://activehealthmn.com/about-us
Dr. Hall is Webster certified, licensed in acupuncture, and an active member of the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). She has a passion for perinatal and pediatric care and continues to attend ICPA and other related training seminars to further her education in the specialty.
Blooma Minneapolis

BLOOMA MINNEAPOLIS
Blooma Minneapolis holds a special place in my heart. As a massage therapist, Blooma’s Wellness Team Lead, and a community member, I had the privilege of working closely with birthworkers, body care specialists, and therapists dedicated to serving the families and birthing experiences of the Twin Cities. I learned so much and am grateful for every moment. This period of my career significantly enhanced my quality of care.
I highly recommend reaching out to Blooma Minneapolis for support in family wellness, pregnancy, postpartum, and birth experiences. They offer a wide variety of nurturing services that can make a positive impact on your journey.
Forever in my heart <3
