Mandi Bronsnick

I support clients in making meaningful, sustainable changes that align with their personal health goals. At Nova, we recognize that each person is unique—so our focus is on whole-person health tailored to the individual. Rather than prescribe, I work in partnership with you—offering guidance, accountability, and a supportive, judgment-free space where real transformation can begin. Together, we uncover the root causes behind habits and explore practical strategies for lasting wellness—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Working closely with our board-certified doctors, we help bridge the gap between medical care and everyday life, turning expert guidance into achievable, lasting habits. Think of me as your personal GPS—here to meet you where you are, help you navigate your path, and cheer you on with motivation and accountability, one meaningful step at a time.

As an experienced medical assistant, I am passionate about delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. While supporting patients and working alongside providers, I bring compassion, professionalism, and a strong sense of purpose to every interaction.  I believe that small moments—listening carefully, offering reassurance, being present—can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s experience. Whether I’m assisting with clinical procedures or helping someone feel more comfortable during their visit, I’m here to support both the individual and the care team in our positive holistic, healing environment.
