Though born in Florida, Dr. Swanstrom considers herself a Minnesotan through and through. Her family moved north when she was young, and she grew up in Elk River and later Waconia. With a mother who began her career as a pediatric nurse and eventually became a nurse practitioner, medicine—and pediatrics in particular—were part of everyday life. It didn’t take long for Brielle to see her own future there as well.

After several fulfilling years practicing in Minnetonka, Brielle and her husband, Peter, welcomed their second child—and realized they were ready to put down long-term roots. They wanted a smaller community, a place with outdoor opportunities, good schools, and room to grow as a family. Alexandria fit perfectly.

At Alomere, Dr. Swanstrom looks forward to building a career that spans generations. “I want to stay here forever and care for the babies of the patients I care for now,” she says. While she enjoys supporting families through all the common concerns of childhood, she brings a special passion for preventive care, newborn care, and pediatric cardiology—especially congenital heart conditions, murmurs, and how heart health relates to sports participation and blood pressure.
