It has been a life-long passion, and has now been my pleasure and privilege for the past 2 decades, to help others feel better. It is a blessing to work with clients, especially those who have experienced many other treatment approaches and still have symptoms, to help them uncover some missing pieces and achieve greater healing outcomes.  

Tired of practicing the symptom-management approach of traditional, outpatient Physical Therapy for 10 years, I dove head-first into studying how the Muscular System works, and that weakness is often at the root of body pain and tightness. I was the first female PT in Wisconsin to become a Certified "Muscle Activation Techniques" (MAT) Specialist in 2010. My clients and I were amazed at how much better they felt once their unique movement imbalances were identified and re-educated, rather than being "released" and stretched until they were blue and crying! I committed to learning a holistic, progressive thought process and business model that took my client outcomes to even greater heights, and in 2021 I officially became a "Certified Muscle System Specialist" (CMSS).

Particularly intrigued by the feet (yes, you read that correctly), I have also been a Certified "Healthy Foot Practitioner" since 2015, and love to help this underappreciated area to support the whole body more efficiently. It was because of my love of the feet that I became interested in learning about the MELT Method. This gentle self-care system uses soft, rubberized balls for hands and feet, and soft rollers for the body to help identify stuck stress and gently hydrate tissues to reduce pain and accelerate healing.

I wrote and published my first book, "MAGIC in Motion: Foundations for Functional Fitness," to share insights learned throughout decades of working with clients, and present practical ways to "Treat Yourself Well." I love teaching a weekly Balance and Stability class at the Wisconsin Athletic Club. I enjoy hosting workshops and speaking with groups about the importance of moving and living a well-balanced life.

I'd love to hear your story and help you reclaim your life through moving and feeling better!
