My professional background includes a fulfilling career in Physical Therapy. In 1995, I began working as a hospital-based rehabilitation technician during high school and university and then in 1999, as a licensed PTA in Indiana until 2020. As a PTA, I worked in a variety of settings (hospital, outpatient rehabilitation and sports medicine, inpatient rehab, and SNF) accompanying thousands of patients through short- and long-term recovery processes, providing customized evidence-based treatments, functional guidance, and compassionate care as each one navigated unique circumstances. In addition to patient care, I also worked as a Clinical Instructor and Clinical Education Coordinator with university students completing their clinical education requirements for PTA licensure.
In 2016-2017, I attended the Louisville School of Massage Therapeutic Massage Program and upon licensure, I began working in private practice as a licensed massage therapist. In conjunction, I also obtained national certifications with NASM for personal training and corrective exercise to enhance my orthopedic massage therapy practice offerings.
Since 2022 and after additional certifications, I offer person-centered online sessions with individuals nationally as an ISSA Certified Health Coach, NASM Certified Wellness Coach, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, with health + wellness coaching including the eight facets of well-being and personal training emphasis on restorative and functional movement.
Within central and southern Indiana, I offer onsite workplace well-being consultations as well as, facilitative community education workshops sharing general well-being resources.
