You've been putting your own care last.
Migraine noticed.
Whether it's kids, work, aging parents, or just a life that doesn't leave room for one more thing — migraine has a way of showing up exactly where you stopped showing up for yourself.
No elimination diet. No hour you don't have. No medication decision you're not ready to make.

"I joined this group not knowing or realizing the benefits it would bring. I didn’t realize the self-love and tenderness it would allow me to see myself in. I imagined educational content and action steps that might help, but might not fully apply to me. This group has been supportive, helpful, educational and has made a noticable impact on my life."

"I have always thought of myself as a resilient person. I have spent years developing practices that allow me to perform at my best when life gets hard. The Migraine Resilience Academy expanded my vocabularly enourmously. I have more tools, more understanding, and I feel like I have more control over my migraines, and more tools avaiable to me. I was even able to adjust my insulin down, which was not something I had ever imagined from a migraine course. Thank you. "
Maria*, 51, nurse
"I had no idea how powerful being in community would be for me. I am new to migraine and it’s been an incredibly challenging year. I have lost a lot, and am continuing to adjust my expectations every day. But I found so much peace and healing by being in community with people who have the same pain experience that I have. A group of people who know what it feels like when light or sound physicaly hurt. Of course I learned a lot too. But I feel less alone and broken, seeing other people like me. And I feel like I have a much better understnading of my condition and how to build a path forward to heal."

How This Works
Your nervous system isn't the problem. It just hasn't had the chance to build capacity.
Migraine happens when everything you're carrying builds up past what your nervous system can compensate for. Our approach raises your threshold — so attacks have less room to gather momentum.
Just diagnosed and waiting months for your next appointment?
That gap is exactly where this work starts.
(Most People Start Here)
The Migraine Resilience Academy
A structured 6-week group program plus a 1:1 integration session with me at the end — covering the nervous system, nutrition, and hormones, built for people who want community and a lower-cost way in.
$797 · next cohort begins: September 9th
Best for: newly diagnosed or new to this, wanting structure and support over a personalized protocol.
Virtual Functional Medicine
Get to the root of what's driving your migraine — from anywhere. Individual work on the nutrition, hormone, and mitochondrial pieces that determine whether your brain has the energy to actually change. Labs, a personalized plan, one-on-one attention.
By inquiry · starting around $1,800 for a 12-week package
Best for: you want individualized answers and don't need to be local to Minneapolis.
In-Person Care at Stockheart
Retrain your nervous system, hands-on, in the room with me. Once your foundation is stable, this is where adjusting and neuroplasticity-based brain rehab happen — work that has to be done in person. Often the natural next step after Virtual FM, or a starting point if you're already local.
In-office pricing, Minneapolis
Best for: Twin Cities–based, wanting hands-on care alongside the root-cause work.
Meet Dr. Brenna
I'm a Chiropractic physician, a functional medicine practitioner, and the only DNFT-certified provider in Minnesota — but mostly, I'm someone who got tired of watching capable people get told to just avoid their triggers and manage their pain forever.
Understand Your Migraine
Most people don't know what's actually happening in their body.
Nobody ever explained it without either dumbing it down or burying it in jargon.
I wrote the guide I wish someone had handed me — genetics, mechanism, the subtypes nobody warns you about, what a real diagnosis involves, and why medication and root-cause work aren't actually in competition.
