Chiropractor

Marcus Kasper D.C.

I grew up in Monticello my entire life and then graduated with a Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences at St. Cloud State University. I attended Northwestern Health and Science in Bloomington and while being there I traveled to different states for training with some of the best chiropractors in the world.

I interned for chiropractors of the Minnesota Vikings, University of Minnesota Hockey & Wrestling teams, and the 2014 Olympics.

After graduating I was an associate for one of the largest pediatric and family practices in the state, located in Maple Grove. I got married to my high school sweetheart Donielle. We decided to move closer to home so we could start a family here and make some long term connections in Albertville MN. I am trained in several techniques and would love to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Chiropractor

Breanna Samoleski D.C.

I am originally from Saskatchewan, Canada. I grew up going to the Chiropractor and it helped me significantly throughout my years of being a competitive figure skater.

I always knew I wanted to pursue a career path in holistic health so after finishing my undergraduate degree in Saskatchewan, I moved to the Twin Cities to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University for Chiropractic school.

I have always had a passion for health, wellness, and helping others in any way that I can! While attending school, I found a love for pediatric, prenatal care, and women's health. I love taking the time to educate families about Chiropractic and how it can specifically help them. I am Webster Certified and continue to pursue additional training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association

I am excited to be a part of the Summit team! In my free time, I love to spend time with family and friends, be active - whether that's going for runs outside or to locals gyms, and I love to travel and experience new places. I cannot wait to serve and help those in the Saint-Michael Albertville MN area!

Chiropractor

Benjamin Hartman D.C.

I grew up in Delano, Minnesota, and earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where I was honored with the Clinical Excellence Award. I’m passionate about helping people achieve optimal health, and as a parent myself, I especially enjoy caring for families.

Before pursuing chiropractic, I graduated from St. Cloud State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Chemistry. My background in hockey and baseball also allows me to support athletes of all levels with injury recovery and performance improvement.

I live in St. Michael with my wife, Heather, and our sons, James and Oliver. Outside the clinic, I enjoy the outdoors, playing sports, and coaching our kid’s activities—sharing my passion for health and wellness both personally and professionally.

PERSONAL TRAINER / NUTRITION COACH

Donielle Kasper

Hi, I’m Donielle Kasper! I’m a personal trainer, nutrition coach, women’s health specialist, wife, busy mom of two, and one of the owners of Summit (Marcus’s wife). I’m passionate about helping women feel strong, healthy, and confident in every season of life.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked with women to build realistic, sustainable habits that fit into real life — because I know firsthand that health can feel overwhelming when you’re juggling kids, work, and everything in between.

My passion is helping women improve their strength, energy, and overall health without restriction, burnout, or feeling like they have to be “perfect.”

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science and certifications in personal training, nutrition coaching, pre/postnatal fitness, and doula support. I specialize in women’s health, pregnancy, postpartum, and helping busy moms feel like themselves again through simple nutrition, strength training, and sustainable lifestyle habits.

At Summit, my goal is to help women feel supported, educated, and empowered in their health journey — whether that means building strength, improving nutrition, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, or simply feeling better in their own skin.

PERSONAL TRAINER

ADAM LEONARD

Hi, I'm Adam! While studying at the University of Minnesota, I knew that I wanted to have a positive impact in helping others with their health and fitness goals.

I have been a trainer for over 10 years now and I enjoy helping my clients gain strength for their every-day lives!

PERSONAL TRAINER

SARAH DAVIES

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve been a personal trainer for over 9 years and recently became an Integrative Health Practitioner (essentially a health coach designed to help you heal naturally with functional lab testing). I’m passionate about helping others feel strong, resilient, confident, mobile and independent as they age.

Through my online business, SarahTWellness, I help women heal from the inside out by addressing gut health, fatigue, inflammation, and stress through a natural, whole-body approach.

I believe true health goes beyond workouts and nutrition alone. My approach focuses on educating and supporting women in nutrition, training, stress management, sleep, recovery, and emotional well-being so they can create sustainable health and feel their best long-term. Health is the foundation for everything!

I recently moved back to MN from CO with my husband, Jeff and dog, Myles. I love hiking, snowboarding, and spending time in nature. Excited to meet you all!
