I’ve been a physical therapist for the past 10 years, working mostly with orthopedic conditions. I’m one of the small group of PTs—just 1%—who’ve gone through Fellowship training in orthopedic manual therapy, which has really shaped how I approach care.

Before I was a PT, I was a competitive figure skater, and that background is a big part of why I love working with aesthetic athletes and those navigating hypermobility spectrum disorders. I’ve also had my own journey through hip dysplasia and hip preservation surgery at age 26, so injury prevention and patient education are really personal passions of mine.

Becoming a mom to two little boys has opened up a whole new chapter for me. I’ve developed a deep purpose around supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum. I truly believe that keeping your body strong and supported during pregnancy can make all the difference in birth experiences and recovery—and that having someone to walk with you through the postpartum and return-to-fitness journey can spare you a lot of unnecessary pain and frustration.

I studied Exercise and Sport Science at Oregon State University and earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from New York Medical College. Later, I completed post-doctorate training through the Ola Grimsby Institute, which led me to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic and Manual Physical Therapists.

A few fun things about me:
I was born in a dry cabin in rural Alaska and have since lived in Oregon, NYC, Seattle, and now Boise. My boys keep me laughing and constantly moving with their endless energy. I love yoga, pilates, and barre, and you can usually find me with a cashew milk latte in hand. Collaborating with friends, supporting other moms, and camping with my family are just a few of the things that light me up.
