My professional background includes a fulfilling career in Physical Therapy spanning 25 years. In 1995, I began working as a hospital-based Rehabilitation Technician during high school and university and then in 1999, as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in Indiana until 2020. PTA license #: 06002459A
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 treatments, functional guidance, and compassionate care as each one navigated various life challenges. 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 well-being coaching to adults 21 years and older as an ISSA Certified Health Coach, NASM Certified Wellness Coach, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer.
Within southern Indiana, I offer onsite workplace well-being consultations and facilitate community education workshops.
