Hi!

After working as an orthopedic physical therapist for more than a decade, I began to realize the importance of taking a whole-body approach to more effectively treat aches & pains. At the same time, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the limitations of traditional PT settings, where insurance and time restrictions made it difficult to provide the comprehensive care people truly need, and started offering virtual coaching (a shift also accelerated by the 2020 pandemic).

​

Around this period, life at home was shifting too. I had made it through the whirlwind toddler stage of raising twins (& residual high BP from a twin pregnancy), and turned my focus back to my own health and fitness. I discovered that proper nutrition is just as important as exercise for feeling & functioning well & was inspired to obtain a Precision Nutrition coaching certification.

​

While working to improve my fitness, I had to deal firsthand with low back pain caused by residual core weakness from my twin pregnancy, hip stiffness and pre-existing scoliosis, so I know how discouraging pain can feel when you're trying to get back to an active life - and how much patience it takes to build real lasting strength instead of relying only on quick fixes for pain-relief. 

​

Today, I offer both physical therapy & coaching and am passionate about empowering busy adults to take a proactive approach to their health - addressing minor aches & pains with movement & exercise, building functional strength, and fueling their bodies well, so they can keep doing the activities they love and age with confidence.

​

Outside of working with clients, I stay busy with family life and do my best to keep up with my (now) 13-year old twins! I also enjoy playing tennis with my husband and spend as much time outdoors as the KC weather allows.
