meet our staff

All of us at Holst Chiropractic wish to thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.

Dr. Peter A. Holst was born and raised on Long Island. He attended New York Chiropractic College and graduated in 1985. He immediately moved to the Hudson Valley and practiced in a large multi doctor clinic in Dutchess county. By 1986 he was making plans to open Holst Chiropractic office. Our office officially opened on December 27, 1986.

Barbara has been with Holst Chiropractic forever! Everyone knows that Barbara is the cornerstone of our practice! Every day she lets each and every patient know how special he or she is to us!

Barbara is a certified chiropractic assistant. She has a degree in fashion design and has owned several businesses in the past. Barbara feels that each of us has free will and the ability to make important choices when it comes to our health. (And she also recommends a glass of red wine once in awhile!).

Barbara recently moved, after 27 years, from her home in Goshen to a brand new home in Milford, PA. She lives there with her husband, Mike. She has five grown children, three of whom still live in Goshen, one who lives in Albany and one who recently married and lives in Connecticut.

Yvette is going into her 9th year here at Holst Chiropractic. She is a whirlwind when it comes to insurance and billing matters! She is always available to assist our patients with insurance issues. Yvette’s mission is to do everything possible to insure that each and every person receives the insurance reimbursement that they deserve and works feverishly to that end.

Yvette is a certified medical biller. She has a background in medical billing and front deskwork for a podiatrist and medical doctor.

Yvette is originally from the Bronx and is one of 9 brothers and sisters! She resides in Montgomery with her husband, Eddie, and three children who keep her very busy: Nina (who is in her first year of college), Christina and Eddie, in addition to her three dogs!

MaryAnn has been with our practice since September 2003. She came to us with an extensive background in health care management, sales, recruiting and public relations, with experience in home care, a hospital-based weight loss and wellness program, biotechnology and in commercial lines for an HMO.

She has a degree in journalism and another in holistic theology. MaryAnn has strong beliefs in the mind, body and spirit connection and the responsibility each of us has to ourselves in keeping healthy. In addition to regular chiro care, she believes that nutrition and exercise are key! And she practices what she preaches!

She lives in the Walker Valley area with her husband, Anthony, 17 year-old son, Alex and 2 Golden retrievers, Jack and Josie.
