Our doctors
Meet the doctors behind Kindred Bliss — Dr. Breann Arentsen and Dr. Mackenzie Buck. Two chiropractors, one family-focused practice in Summerville.
Dr. Breann Arentsen
Dr. Breann Arentsen found chiropractic while she was still an undergraduate, and fell for the hands-on part of it — specific, individual treatment aimed at bringing a body back into balance. She has been caring for families in the field since 2017.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. While she was there she took every opportunity to go deeper into the specialized care of pregnancy and children, and she keeps that training current through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
Her interest is holistic chiropractic care for the whole family — the pregnant mother, the newborn, and everyone else at the dinner table.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Bre is with her husband, Marshall, and their daughters, Evelyn and Hazel.
Dr. Bre is certified in the Webster Technique, a gentle pelvic analysis and adjustment used during pregnancy. The goal is to improve alignment of the pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments and reduce intrauterine constraint. Some babies then have more room to move into a better position on their own. Webster does not turn the baby. It is not an external cephalic version, which is a procedure done by an OB.

Dr. Mackenzie Buck
Dr. Mackenzie Buck found chiropractic as a teenager after a shoulder injury from tennis. Throughout care she saw what a holistic plan could do for healing and overall wellness, which is how she decided her career.
Dr. Buck is from Morgantown, West Virginia, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology at WVU and her Doctor of Chiropractic at Logan University in St. Louis. Along with extensive clinical training, she graduated Magna Cum Laude and was involved with the Motion Palpation Institute, the Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance and Radiology Journal Club.
Dr. Mackenzie utilizes soft tissue modalities including dry needling, myofascial trigger point therapy, cupping, active release and IASTM.
In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband and pets, going to the beach, painting and trying new restaurants.
