Our team of professionals
Dr. Mike Giesie was born and raised in Waukesha, WI. He received his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Sports Science with a minor in Nutrition from The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
From the age of 10, I experienced a head injury which caused me to have severe back pain. After taking ibuprofen daily, trying physical therapy, and everything in between, it seemed like my only option was to stick out the pain. It wasn’t until I got to college 8 years later that I found a solution. I was introduced to a MaxLiving chiropractor who discovered I had a reverse curve in my cervical spine, interfering with my body’s healing process. Since being under chiropractic care, I no longer experience back pain. This really opened my eyes and inspired me to become a chiropractor. My newfound purpose was to educate people on honoring the wisdom of the body.
It was then the hometown Wisconsinite packed his bags and headed to Atlanta, GA to study at Life University. After graduating with his doctorate of chiropractic in December 2021, Dr. Mike was eager to start his own practice.
Dr. Mike holds certifications in spinal correction, nutrition and detoxification. He’s dedicated to helping people unlock their full potential through the 5 Essentials of MaxLiving: Core Chiropractic, Nutrition, Mindset, Oxygen & Exercise, and Minimizing Toxins. Dr. Giesie is committed to serving the Muskego, WI community by educating families that they are not defined by their symptoms or diagnosis.
When not serving in the office, you can find him training for a triathlon, lifting weights, or somewhere cheering on the Green Bay Packers.
Born in Illinois but proud to have called Franklin, Wisconsin home for the past 20 years, my journey with chiropractic care began at the age of 15, when I consistently complained of neck and back pain to my mom. I then started receiving regular treatments twice a week. From that moment on, I developed a strong respect for chiropractic’s ability to heal, and that passion has only grown over the years.
After graduating from Franklin High School in 2015, I pursued higher education in Milwaukee, focusing on liberal arts with the intention of building a career in photography. While attending college, I began working in special education at an elementary school in Cudahy.. a role that deepened my dedication to supporting the well-being of others, particularly children and families.
During this time, I also became a mother to two wonderful children, Anabella and Danil. After spending time at home with them, I re-entered the workforce in the chiropractic field as a Patient Care Coordinator and Marketing Assistant. For two years, I had the opportunity to grow professionally and further immerse myself in patient care and practice management.
As my passion for chiropractic and community wellness grew, I began looking for a clinic that truly aligned with my values... one focused not only on care but on empowering people to live their healthiest, most fulfilled lives. That’s when I found Lakeview Family Chiropractic. From my first meeting with Dr. Mike, it was clear we shared the same mission: helping people reach their full potential through natural healing.
Today, I am proud to serve as the Office Manager at Lakeview Family Chiropractic. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a team that is committed to making a positive impact in our community every day. Whether I’m helping patients navigate their care or supporting our team behind the scenes, my goal is always to ensure each person feels welcomed, valued, and empowered on their wellness journey.
When I’m not in the office, I still enjoy photography, taking walks with my dog Lola, listening to music, and relaxing with a good book by the lake.
I’m a wife, a proud mom of two, and someone who’s deeply passionate about health, healing, and living a life rooted in purpose. My own wellness journey began in a profound way after being diagnosed with breast cancer, not once, but twice. Those experiences were life-altering and led me to dive deep into my health, listen more closely to my body, and trust in the healing power of faith and intuition.
I became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach to not only support my own continued growth, but to help others reconnect with their own journey of healing.
Outside of my work, I find peace and joy in nature, enjoying camping, kayaking, boating, and just being with the people I love. I adore live music, creating meaningful jewelry by hand, and cheering on my kids as they pursue their passions.
I believe that wellness isn’t a destination, it’s a lifelong, soul-led journey. I am honored to walk alongside others as they learn to care for themselves with grace, intention, and love.
Traditional healthcare often overlooks underlying issues, leading to long-term problems. MaxLiving stands out by addressing the root causes, not just symptoms through our whole-body approach known as the 5 Essentials™.
