My professional background includes a fulfilling 22-year career in Physical Therapy: initially working as a hospital-based rehabilitation technician for 4 years and then as a licensed PTA in Indiana for 18 years after completion of university and state board requirements. As a PTA, I have 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 for 14 years with students from University of Indianapolis and Vincennes University completing their clinical education requirements for PTA licensure.

In 2017, upon completion of educational requirements from the Louisville School of Massage Therapeutic Massage Program and Indiana’s state board requirements, 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, 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 workplace well-being consultations and classes as well as, facilitate community-based educational events sharing general well-being resouces.
