🎓✨ Officially a Doctor of Physical Therapy!

After years of hard work, I’ve graduated, passed my boards, and am stepping into the next chapter of my career—specializing in pelvic health and building my own practice.

This path is deeply personal for me. The same week I started DPT school, I also began my journey with cancer treatment. Living through that experience gave me firsthand insight into how much our bodies—and our sense of self—are impacted by medical treatments. It also lit a fire in me to help others reclaim strength, confidence, and connection with their own bodies.

I can’t wait to serve this community and create a space where people feel supported, understood, and empowered in their health journey. 💙

Here’s to healing, helping, and new beginnings.

Just over 2 years ago, on the very day I started my accelerated Doctor of Physical Therapy program at , I got the call confirming I had breast cancer. 💔

Jeff and I were brand new to our city and state with no support system nearby. Still, I never questioned whether I’d continue with school. I needed something to hold onto—a sense of control, and the promise I had made to myself.

From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to work in pelvic health. I wanted to show up better for the clients I had already served and for the ones I hadn’t yet met.

Fast forward to today: after surgeries, chemo, radiation, and more than a few bumps along the way… I kept that promise. ✨

I am officially a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
And now I get the privilege of walking alongside incredible humans as they navigate an often overlooked and taboo part of life.

Here’s to resilience, purpose, and honoring the promises we make to ourselves!

🎉 Big milestone – I just finished my third clinical rotation in pelvic health & lymphedema!

Over the past few months, I’ve seen how deeply pelvic health and lymphedema impacts people’s daily lives. It’s not just about rehab—it’s about being able to laugh without worry, being intimate without pain, regaining dignity, returning to the activities you love, and trusting your body again after it betrayed you with cancer.

I’ve had the privilege to work with incredible patients who reminded me why I chose this path in the first place. Every story, every breakthrough, every tear of relief… they’ve all fueled my passion to make this my career. 💜

Feeling so grateful for the mentor , patients, and experiences that shaped this rotation. I can’t wait to keep learning and to keep making a difference in this amazing specialty.

Thank you for my “starter kit”. Working with you has been amazing 💕

When asked about my journey and how I am doing, I often struggle to convey what it’s like in simple terms. However, I found an analogy that, while it may never fully help someone understand the lived experience, makes it relatable for people from all walks of life and backgrounds.

I describe the breast cancer journey as a book.
