Ashlea Tecker, PTA
Ashlea grew up in Yankton, South Dakota, and earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Sports Science from the University of South Dakota. After spending a few years living in Arizona and Indiana, she returned to school and completed the Physical Therapy Assistant program at the University of Indianapolis, graduating with her AAS in Physical Therapy in 2020. Ashlea brings five years of experience in Industrial Rehabilitation Therapy and joined FCW in December 2025.
Outside the clinic, Ashlea enjoys spending quality time with her husband and children, gardening, and being outdoors. As your PTA, her goal is to provide a meaningful therapy experience by creating a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you become more functional.
Jarett Toomy, Massage Therapist
An Apple Valley native, Jarett graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2021. Before becoming a massage therapist, he worked in the music industry. Over time, he realized he had a natural feel for massage and enjoyed helping people feel better, so he decided to turn that interest into a career.
His massage style is flexible and tailored to each person. Depending on what a patient needs that day, Jarett may use therapeutic massage, neuromuscular and trigger point work, myofascial techniques, reflexology, lymphatic drainage or prenatal massage. His most important approach to massage therapy? Listening.
If something changes during a session, he adjusts rather than sticking to a set routine. When patients are also seeing the chiropractor or physical therapist, he can work alongside the rest of the team as part of their overall care.
One of Jarett’s favorite parts of working at the practice is the sense of community between the staff and patients. It’s a big reason he has enjoyed being part of the team for the past five years.
Outside the office, music is still a big part of his life. He enjoys making music, learning new instruments, playing video games and watching movies, especially horror films.
Jamie Eggert, Office Manager + Nutrition Coach
Jamie grew up in south-central Minnesota and moved to Apple Valley in 2014. She loves the chiropractic industry and joined Family Chiropractic and Wellness in January 2021 after her former employer/chiropractor retired. Jamie and her husband, Justin, have four children. She enjoys camping, hiking, going for walks with her husband, chatting with her kids, and hanging out with family and friends.

Sunny Schaffhausen, Chiropractic Assistant
As a chiropractic assistant, Sunny brings contagious optimism and warm energy to the practice. A Rosemount local, she continued her education at the University of North Dakota and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in higher education.

Sara Benedict, Billing Specialist
With a diverse background in Human Resources across the financial services, economic development, and social services sectors, Sara brings a wealth of experience and a thoughtful approach to her role as Billing Specialist at Family Chiropractic and Wellness.

Outside of the Practice
