Balance Body and Energy
About Us
How we got our name...
The name Nova has a lot of meaning to my family. Nova (pictured) was the first greyhound we welcomed into our family. She was vibrant, sassy, persistent, and super sweet. Nova received chiropractic and acupuncture care along with Western modalities throughout her life to help with arthritis and heart disease. She was a huge inspiration in leading me down this path of holistic medicine. We have missed her greatly since she passed in 2021. We now have another greyhound that we greatly adore. He is also being treated with integrative medicine to give him the best quality of life possible. The word balanced was included as the goal of integrative therapy is to balance the body and have it work in harmony.
Dr. Sandra Shindorf
Sandra Shindorf is originally from the West Michigan area. Growing up on a small family farm with a variety of animals and participating in 4-H influenced her to follow a path in helping animals. She attended Aquinas College for undergrad and went on to receive her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. She practiced general medicine for large and small animals for several years. Currently, she practices small animal general medicine at Greenville Animal Hospital and provides integrative/holistic medicine for large animals (through Nova Balanced Vet Med). She also participates in a small animal pain clinic at Reactive Referral Center in Grand Rapids.
In her spare time she enjoys having fun with her husband and two kids. She also enjoys horseback riding, reading books, and traveling. Learning is another hobby she enjoys - taking several continuing education and training courses every year to improve her skills and knowledge.
