Congratulations to Officer Aaron Hardy, who began his first solo shift recently after completing the Field Training Program.

His training included three phases and hands-on experience across all shifts, preparing him for his duties as a patrol officer. Now assigned to the night shift, Officer Hardy is ready to protect and serve our community’s residents, businesses, and visitors.

This marks an exciting milestone in his law enforcement journey—welcome to the team!

Feeling held back by stiff joints, lingering inflammation, or an injury that just won’t fully heal?

Low-level laser therapy works at the cellular level to activate your body’s natural repair system. By increasing circulation and calming inflammation, this gentle, non-invasive treatment helps speed recovery and restore movement — without downtime.

It’s not just symptom relief. It’s smarter healing.

✨ Move better. Recover faster. Feel stronger.
Book with Monica and experience the difference.

Brainspotting is a powerful brain-body therapy that helps process and rewire unhelpful patterns that show up as anxiety, depression, negative self-beliefs, irritability, relationship struggles, and more.

Our nervous system stores our experiences — distressing, traumatic, and even pleasurable ones. Sometimes those stored experiences continue to impact our mental health long after the moment has passed.

Brainspotting uses specific eye positions to access the nervous system. When a “brainspot” is found, focused mindfulness allows the brain and body to process and reorganize what has been stuck. This helps rewire the patterns that may be negatively impacting your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Clients often report:
• Feelings of relief
• Improved clarity
• Increased confidence
• Reduced anxiety
• More positive emotions
• Greater emotional regulation between sessions

Brainspotting is highly effective for PTSD — but it is not only for “big shock” trauma. You do not need a major traumatic event to benefit. Anxiety, social discomfort, negative self-talk, low mood, emotional triggers, and relationship patterns are all valid reasons to seek support.

No problem is too small. Everyone deserves better mental health — period.

At Ascend Wellness MBS, we believe the heart of healthcare is compassion — and Christa embodies that every single day. 🤍

Born and raised right here in Minot, Christa’s passion for health and wellness began early in life. She was drawn to nursing not just because she loves helping others, but because she understands that true healing is emotional, physical, and spiritual.

Christa is a Registered Nurse who began her career on the Postpartum floor before transitioning to an OB/GYN clinic. She earned her Associate Degree in Nursing from Dakota College at Bottineau in 2020 and holds certifications in NRP and BLS. Her experience caring for women and families shines through in the calm, nurturing presence she brings to Ascend.

What truly sets Christa apart is her amazing attitude. She shows up with positivity, warmth, and a willingness to serve — whether she’s supporting a patient, collaborating with our team, or simply offering an encouraging word. Her steady, kind energy helps create the safe, welcoming environment we strive for every day.

Outside of the clinic, Christa is married to her high school sweetheart and is a proud mom of two beautiful children. Her family is completed by Sophie, her Platinum Mink Tonkinese cat, and Chloe, her sweet Doxipoo dog. 🐾 In the summer, she loves golfing and bike rides; in the winter, you’ll find her curled up with a good book, watching movies, or spinning her favorite vinyl records.

Christa, your compassion, dedication, and joyful spirit make Ascend stronger. We are so grateful for you and the light you bring to our community. 🌿

Kindness costs nothing — but it can change everything. 🤍

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and it’s a reminder that the smallest gestures often leave the biggest impact. A smile at a stranger. A genuine compliment. A thoughtful text. Holding space for someone who’s struggling. Choosing patience when it would be easier to react.

At Ascend, we believe wellness isn’t just about treatments or movement — it’s about how we show up for each other. Healing starts with compassion. Growth starts with encouragement. And community is built through everyday acts of kindness.

You never know what someone is carrying. So lead with softness. Speak with intention. Love a little louder.

Let’s make kindness the norm — not just today, but every day. 🤍✨
