"Why did you want to become a Physical Therapist" is a question I often get and to be completely honest, my motivation was self-serving.  For as long as I can recall, my physical body was a source of tension, pain and a general unease.  It was a tool that I used to complete tasks and to get from point A to B, but it never really felt like home.  My desire to find a way to inhabit my body in a way that felt good led me to study the field of Physical Therapy and eventually Functional Manual Therapy™.  

 

The FMT training was a complete paradigm shift for me with its unique, 3 pillar approach to analyzing and optimizing human movement.  It gave me the tools to understand the human body as an interconnected unit and be able to enhance mechanical capacity of all body tissues, neuromuscular function and motor control. Within this framework, I also include my training in fascial specific Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy and  Frequency Specific Microcurrent.  These modalities each played pivotal roles in helping me to decrease pain and to make a shift towards a greater sense of ease and wholeness in my body.  The positive effects on my overall health, well-being and athletic performance were significant.

 

My journey back to my body has been a lifelong teacher and it is my hope and my passion to share this wisdom with my community and play a role in helping others to also find their way back home.
