PRACTICE: Lavender Farm Wellness

Dr. Penny Hanson, D.C. is from a small, picturesque town in Southwest Iowa called Malvern. With a passion for learning and growing, she then went on to receive a Bachelor of Science as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa in 2008.

After graduating, Dr. Hanson went to work at a Chiropractic office as a Chiropractic Assistant where she not only found herself again learning and growing but also developing a love for helping the community through Chiropractic. This passion drove her to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa where she received her doctorate in Chiropractic in October of 2015.

She moved to Nantucket in the Fall of ’22 to continue her journey with her career. “I came for the landscape, I stay for the people,” is a very common quote you will hear her say when asked about her stay on Nantucket. She can be seen with her standard poodle, Dalilah walking the beach and trails at various and times all over the Island. The community is a HUGE priority and reason Dr. Hanson stays involved. You may see her out and about

as an instructor at NISDA in the summer as well as an active ally for Nantucket Pride, or even as a volunteer for the Island Fair in the Fall. Feel free to introduce yourself if you haven’t met her!

She wants to be a part of the Cape Wellness Collaborative because it is a great resource that many folks in her community can find relief. "It's never beyond me to help someone in pain."
