I was born and raised a Wyomingite. I love people, being outside in the sun, boating, camping, paddle boarding and most recently golf lessons. I have been in the medical field for over 25 years in the areas of gynecology, emergency medicine, and Hospice Care. I studied at Bryant and Stratton College as well as American Academy of Grief, and Western Wyoming Community College. I ended my journey in Health Care Administration with several certifications in Centering Health Care and Grief Education. I am licensed in reflexology and foot zone therapy, and I am a master level mindfulness and meditation instructor. I am looking forward to helping you navigate your journey to wellness.
Carol Iverson was born in NYC, raised on Long Island, NY. She got her engineering degree from Duke University in North Carolina, worked briefly for Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company in Virginia before moving to Wyoming where she worked for PacifiCorp’s Dave Johnston and Jim Bridger power plants for a little over 30 years as a project engineer. Carol was never a big fan of conventional medicine and so was on the look-out for alternatives whenever health issues came around.
Carol and her husband had a cat who developed asthma. Not knowing any other choices, her cat was treated with steroids (the conventional treatment). In time, the steroids compromised the cat’s pancreas leading to diabetes. When the cat’s diabetes could not be brought into control with conventional treatment, Carol did some research and learned cats were obligate carnivores meaning, they are meant to only eat meat. She and her husband switched the cat to an all meat, raw meat diet. Within 2 months the diabetes was gone and the asthma was in remission.
Also during this time, Carol experienced a stroke as a complication from then undiagnosed atrial fibrillation; which thrust her into the conventional medical system. The experience was most unpleasant. Fortunately, she came through the experience mostly unscathed; which she believed was a gift to be made use of. Upon reflecting on her experience and after seeing the success in treating her cat, Carol wanted to learn more about treating human conditions with diet. So she went back to school and completed her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. She is now ready to help others find their path and explore their options in their healing journeys.

Mandy Jarvis is a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner and the current Medical Director at Elements, bringing extensive expertise to our integrative wellness approach. She earned her certification through Chamberlain College of Nursing in Illinois and holds a Master’s degree in Public Health and Public Health Nursing from Johns Hopkins University.
With a robust background in healthcare, Mandy spent four years at Pain Care Centers in RS, WY, working under the mentorship of Dr. Shay, and later transitioned to a part-time role conducting physicals for veterans applying for disability. Her passion, however, lies in her commitment to Elements.
Before stepping into her role as a nurse practitioner, Mandy accumulated 15 years of nursing experience at prestigious institutions such as the University of Utah, Johns Hopkins, and IHC hospitals. Her diverse career includes work as a case manager for Optium and WorkCare, as well as serving as a clinical instructor at Brigham Young University’s School of Nursing.
Mandy’s pursuit of knowledge and excellence didn’t stop with her formal education. She sought further training and certifications through institutions like NIMA for cosmetic injections, the Dr. Tennant Institute for biophysics, Walsh Research Institute, RCP Institute for Mineral Balancing, Dr. Shallenburger for ozone therapy, and the CMA for PRP injections/procedures. These additional qualifications have significantly influenced the advanced procedures, treatments, and educational offerings at Elements.
Her personal journey, rooted in a familial history of health challenges, including her father’s battle with type 1 diabetes and her own experience with Hashimoto’s, fuels her passion for healthcare and holistic wellness. Mandy believes that patients seek our clinic because they’re searching for answers beyond the conventional scope of medicine. At Elements, she strives to empower individuals to discover new solutions and instill hope that they can reclaim their lives.
Mandy’s approach centers on educating program members and the community about the tools necessary for healing and self-repair. She firmly believes in the potential for recovery and sees no diagnosis as insurmountable, drawing inspiration from a database of “hopeless diagnoses” from which patients have spontaneously recovered. She encourages each individual to believe that they can be the next success story at Elements.
Kristine May, BSHS, NTP is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, receiving her certification through the Nutritional Therapy Association based out of Seattle, WA.

Because she believes in continual education, she is currently studying emotional mastery and mindfulness and believes the mind/body connection is so crucial to optimal health and healing.
Kristine is grateful to be a part of the Elements team. It is important to like what you do. She appreciates optimal nutrition and the transformation she has seen in her own health and others. She loves the relationships she forms with team members and clients alike. Kristine knows that the future is bright for Elements Integrative Wellness Center and is eager to be a part of it all!

Hello! My name is Reiko. Connecting with others has always been an important aspect of my personal and professional life. After graduating from NYU, I began a career in hospitality and loved being part of the energy that created a hospitable experience for people around food. After years in varying jobs within the food industry, I realized I wanted to play a more significant role in people’s lives by helping them find fulfilling ways to nourish themselves holistically. I attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), which has introduced me to a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods.
Hi! I’m Monya (rhymes with Tonya). I’ve been passionate about health and wellness for 15 years and counting. From working in a health food store to managing a home with multiple food allergies, digestive issues and neurodivergent brains, I’ve learned first-hand how powerful food and lifestyle can be for our health. I earned my Health Coaching certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) as well as an additional certificate in a Detox Your Life Specialty Course. I’ve lived in Oregon, Massachusetts, France and now live in Maryland with my husband, two kids and two dogs. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me enjoying yummy food, spending time outside (beach or forest), going to concerts, volunteering at my kid’s school, practicing reiki or picking out a new crystal to love!
I started my yoga practice in 2017 immediately receiving my 200-hr Registered Yoga Teacher Certification. I came to yoga after experiencing low self-esteem and digestive issues. Yoga has taught me to love myself and give me the confidence that I lacked previously. Yoga and turning to a vegan diet helped me overcome my digestive issues. I love teaching about mindfulness, body awareness, and the Chakra System. I am a half marathon runner and love using yoga to help recovery and tone my muscles. Yoga is a transformative practice and has helped me become a calmer and more loving person. Now I have over 500hrs of training in multiple disciplines from vinyasa, sculpt, power, hot, restorative, chair, and TRX yoga. I also own my own studio downtown Mindful Yoga and hope you will dive deeper into your practice.

I am one of the Medical Assistants here at Elements, I just earned my diploma in Phlebotomy and will eventually do IV’s for people by next year.

Hello! My name is Janette Cortes. I’m originally from California but have lived in Wyoming most of my life. I love spending time doing anything outdoors with my dog, Hercules. I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for over seven years now and am truly passionate about helping people heal!

One of the new TRX trainers and aspiring smoothie expert, I enjoy working at Elements and find myself having an elevated mood when I am around my co-workers and within our pristine environment.
I’m Katie Samz, I have lived in 5 different states but have lived in Wyoming the longest and it will always be my favorite place to call home. I’ve lived in Rock Springs for 10 years now and I have fell in love with our diverse and ever-changing community. I feel very lucky to live in an area surrounded by so many different landscapes. I started working at Elements several years ago doing photography and have found a love for hosting the Rise & Grind fitness class every Monday and Wednesday at 6am. I also work full time at Sweetwater Dental assisting our Office Manager, Hygienist, and Dr. Ryan Taylor. I have a passion for working in the health industry and being committed to helping others reach their highest potential while having fun. My classes are fast paced, energetic and intentional. I love to have a class theme with corresponding music and the occasional game day. I spend my free time in the mountains or traveling with my camera. I also run a small candle business called White Mountain Wax.
I’m 43 years old, am married to Marty Walker and have three children, Kyleigh, Jadyn and Harper. I am currently employed full time with the Rock Springs Police Department as the Detective Sergeant and I’ve been an officer for 22 years. I also previously served in the United State Army for 10 years. I became a TRX instructor in 2022 following a back injury that the doctors thought needed surgery. TRX helped build my core strength up and my injury is now manageable.
