FOUNDER, PELVIC HEALTH THERAPIST, EVIDENCE BASED BIRTH® INSTRUCTOR

I get way more excited about bathroom habits and other taboo subjects than the typical gal, and I have become a huge birth nerd since having my own babies too. I didn’t always see myself in this field though!

I first majored in Dance with a minor in Disability Studies at the University of Washington. I next attended Pacific University where I obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, graduating in 2014 as valedictorian of my class.

Since, I have done countless continuing education courses in both orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy and trained as an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor. After working in both private practices and hospital systems, I made the leap to open my own business in 2022 so that I could provide optimal care dictated by myself and my clients, not by “the system.” Whether it is helping someone navigate their changing body, preparing them for a big life transition, or helping them to feel and function better, I couldn’t love this work more. It is an absolute honor to work with every single person who lets me in to this vulnerable space to walk the journey with them.

Outside of the classroom and the office, my partner Nathan and I have ventured into the even more rewarding and challenging journey of becoming parents to two amazing children, Saige and Grant. Our family loves slow mornings in our PJs, living room dance parties, and getting outside.

PELVIC HEALTH THERAPIST, GENERAL ORTHOPEDIC PT

I came to the pelvic health world after consistently feeling like there was a missing piece when treating things such as back and hip pain in an orthopedic setting. I couldn't keep ignoring this major system that often contributes to the ailments I've been treating my whole career. Plus, the specific, majorly life-impacting difficulties men and women can have when pee, poop, and sex don't work or feel optimal drives me to learn even more.

Professionally, I am doctorally trained as a Physical Therapist (movement nerd) and further board-certified as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. I love working with people who are open to learning, open to pushing their physical function, and who are ready to go use that function today.

Personally, I am a father to two and a husband to one. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and have also spent time living in the beautiful American Southwest. Our family enjoys dance parties, camping, hiking, and learning new stuff all of the time. At times I have been a decathlete, ultramarathon runner, weight lifter, and mountain biker. Today, I am enjoying running and lifting as I get back to fitness after the depths of early parenthood.

CLIENT CARE COORDINATOR

Taking the first step towards better health can feel daunting, and I'm truly honored to help make the scheduling process something you won't dread. From our initial conversation to your final session, I'll be here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to ensure the administrative side of your care is as seamless and stress-free as possible, so you can fully concentrate on what matters most.

On a personal note, I'm originally from a small town in Texas and am thoroughly enjoying my time here in the vibrant Tri-Cities. Outside the clinic, I enjoy seeing and participating in community theatre around the area, discovering unique finds while thrifting, and long, thoughtful talks with my dog.
