Christine Vander Wielen, MSW, LCSW

Office Manager, Lifestyle Educator, Chiropractic Technician

Christine majored in psychology and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Marquette University. She then earned her Master of Social Work degree from Boston College. In addition to being the Office Manager, Lifestyle Educator, and Chiropractic Technician at Vander Wielen Health & Wellness Diagnostic Center, Christine is a clinical therapist at the Center for Family Healing in Menasha, Wisconsin.

As the Office Manager, she is often the first touch of the clinic. She handles patient communication, scheduling, and acts as the point person with the various laboratories and vendors. Christine is also a Metagenics certified Lifestyle Educator and works with patients to better manage stress.  

For Christine and Scott, the inspiration to run a wellness center began over twenty years ago. The two would visit health clubs to work out and gain ideas. Scott, a mechanical engineer at the time, had a passion to help others improve their physical health while Christine had a strong desire to help others improve their emotional health.  Christine soon began to experience health concerns. Over 15 years went by with Christine seeing over 15 different doctors from Boston to Wisconsin until Scott finally diagnosed her condition. Simple blood work confirmed his suspicions.

Due to a common autoimmune condition, Christine has learned first hand that food choices make a difference. She has come aware of how food can positively and negatively influence health. Firsthand experience of not having answers for her own health and difficulty functioning have fueled her passion for wanting others to not just feel better but be better.

Patients enjoy speaking with Christine and will often arrive early or stay late in order to share their health journey with her. She loves hearing about their progress and is always ready with a kind and encouraging word. Patients have described Christine as warm, caring, understanding, knowledgeable and compassionate.

Christine thoroughly loves her work and the different ways she can serve their patients. When she is not at work, Christine enjoys spending time with her children, exercising, learning, reading and cooking.
