Our Team

The people who will care for you

We stay active in the wider wellness community, sharing what we learn and learning from others, so that every client who comes to Ballard Wellness Institute receives the best care we know how to give.

Justin Ballard

Founder & Director

Justin founded Ballard Wellness Institute after surviving a life-threatening illness in 2013 that baffled top physicians. A scientist, inventor, and former Fortune 500 analytics expert, he stepped away from high-level technology work to refine the frequency-based healing technologies that guided his own recovery. Drawing on a background in human genetics, speech algorithms, and water science, he built Ballard Wellness Institute as a sanctuary for integrative healing, blending advanced technologies like the Electro-Equiscope, Firefly, and Human Regenerator with a deep spiritual commitment to loving God and serving humanity.

Tristan Terry-Burciaga

Lead Technician

Knowledgeable in every modality at Ballard Wellness Institute and how each affects the body. Tristan grew up helping family members through complex health conditions, which shaped a natural caretaking nature and a decade of self-directed study. A certified Health Coach and Certified Holistic Nutritionist with 4+ years at the center, he trained directly under Justin Ballard and is certified across its technologies. Clients know him for turning complex science into clear, usable guidance.

Matt Swogger

Integrative Wellness & Technology Specialist

A man of God, devoted husband, and father of five, committed to helping others pursue health, peace, purpose, and longevity. His background spans decades in fitness and integrative wellness: ownership of multiple fitness centers, Director of Practice and Patient Services at the Hyperthermia Cancer Institute, and Lead Biohacker and Technology Specialist for Dave Asprey's Bulletproof Labs. He is a graduate of Dr. Nasha Winters' Mastermind Program in integrative cancer care and a Certified Master Fitness Instructor.

Kayla Celikel

Biomagnetic Therapist · Emotion, Body & Belief Code Practitioner

As a teenager, Kayla battled chronic illness and worked through nearly every avenue of care (pharmaceutical, naturopathic, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and energy healing) before a holistic approach brought her full recovery. She now builds personalized health and nutrition protocols that address body, mind, and energy field together, with a strong emphasis on food as medicine and on the discipline and faith that carried her own healing.

Dale Lafferty

Biomagnetic Therapy Practitioner

Newer to the Ballard Wellness Institute family, Dale brings a genuine passion for holistic health. Certified in Biomagnetic Therapy, he believes everyone has the potential to reach balance and wellness, and his gentle, client-centered nature creates a calm, supportive environment for the people he works with.

Kylie Naveau

Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner

Kylie holds a Bachelor's in Kinesiology from Boise State University, is certified in massage therapy, and has advanced training through the Upledger Institute. A former competitive athlete with six years in the fitness industry, she uses gentle, hands-on techniques that support the body's natural rhythm and healing intelligence. Outside the center she's usually hiking or with family, friends, and her dog.

Donna Hanson

Client Care & Spiritual Support

Donna supports Justin, Matt, and the practitioner team, and walks alongside clients through the emotional and spiritual side of healing. A certified NLP trainer and coach, she works with the connection between our thoughts, language, and behavior, and offers encouragement, prayer, and spiritual guidance to those who want it, believing lasting transformation needs a grounded spiritual foundation alongside physical, mental, and emotional care.

Heather Fletcher

Client Services Coordinator

Heather has been with the center since this location first opened. As the first point of contact for many clients, she greets everyone who walks through the door and helps with scheduling, care plans, and navigating personalized protocols. Deeply familiar with every modality and service, she's the friendly voice on the phone and the welcoming face at the front desk.
