First, the fancy stuff.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy & nationally certified comprehensive Pilates instructor (NPCP), dually-certified in canine rehabilitation (CCRP & CCRT). I was recognized as the 2022 IAVRPT Animal Rehabilitation Professional of the Year and have practiced physical therapy & rehabilitation in consultation & collaboration with veterinary medical professionals for over 25 years.

I’ve been honored to have published in professional journals & texts & have taught pet PT&R professionals in lectures, workshops, webinars, & seminars in more than 10 countries across 3 continents.  

My clinical interests range from neurorehabilitation & neurofacilitation to neuroplasticity for orthopaedic & neurologic disorders; from advanced techniques in therapeutic & aquatic exercise to manual therapies & decompressive techniques (including kinesiology taping & IASTM)-- & everything in between!  I love that I can help people by helping their pets through my work.  And I’m so lucky that my “work” feels like play most days.

I’ve lived in northern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, central Virginia, southern Maryland, northern California, central Massachusetts, & The Netherlands. 

 I love flowers (especially Dutch tulips), coffee, wine, gin, & chocolate (not always in that order), sports (spectating more than playing), travel, photography, nature (& especially the ocean), & my family. 

After our three year adventure/COVID fairy tale in Europe, we returned “home” to a small town in Massachusetts where, fortunately/unfortunately, “everyone knows your name.”  

I’ve owned & operated EmpowerPhysio, a licensed & insured provider of physical therapy & educational services, since 2014.

Why not?  You’ll learn so much.  You’ll help yourself (& your pet).  You’ll feel more connected, balanced, stronger, & more confident.  You won’t regret it.
