Today we celebrate 4 years of Hayley with Sergent Wellness!

Let me tell you the story of how Hayley got here…

Some of you know she moved to Louisville 5 years ago from her hometown in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was finding her place in a new city and looking to move jobs. One fall day in September she happened to open a Tops magazine and landed on my feature 💫 She sent me an email cold - sharing her past work experience in both chiropractic and physical therapy practices and asking if I needed help. My jaw quite literally dropped reading her message. The timing of it truly couldn’t have been better as I was weeks away from starting the process of hiring. Thank you universe 🙏

During Hayley’s time here, we’ve improved the many processes that exist in keeping day to day operations smooth. We’ve added services, grown our reach on social media, and continued to create meaningful relationships with our patients and community partners. Having a small business with a small team means a lot rides on every day and every move. We’ve experienced many seasons together - she’s been a guiding light through them all - bringing clarity, organization, and action to my ideas and ever growing list of to-dos. Not to mention the woman can fix just about anything and her green thumb keeps our plant kingdom thriving. 🪴

Hayley is the face you see when you come through our doors. She’s welcoming and warm to all and her official title of operations manager hardly defines her role here at Sergent Wellness and in my life. Help me in celebrating all that is Hayley and cheers to another year! 🥂

Today is 💙

For me, mental health isn’t an abstract concept; it’s personal. It’s something I’ve had to learn to protect, nurture, and honor through the seasons of my life.

I’ve built both a personal identity and career around strength and self awareness and with this, I’ve come to know that pushing through and ignoring what your body and mind are telling you is never a sustainable option.

The daily habits I’ve slowly built over the past few years aren’t just about staying physically strong, they’re about being and staying well. Lifting weights gives me a sense of power and clarity. Yoga and breathwork ground me - breathwork still very much being a work in progress. Meal prepping creates freedom and consistency in my day to day. PEMF helps me regulate my nervous system and recovery. Time outdoors reminds me to be present and trust the process. These are some of the things that keep me going. 

I’ve learned that protecting your mental health isn’t about being perfect, it’s about choosing yourself, one small decision at a time. It’s about creating micro habits that become bigger over time. It’s about identifying your non negotiables - the bare minimum of what you need to stay stable and true to yourself and sticking to them. Some days that looks like a tough lift. Other days, it’s a walk in the sunshine or simply taking three deep breaths before my head hits the pillow.

If you’re in a season where everything feels heavy, I see you. Be gentle with yourself. Allow yourself to pivot. You don’t have to do it all, you just have to keep showing up for you.

💚 Wellness isn’t a destination. It’s a practice.

Today I want to celebrate my coaches! 🎉

It is National Coaches Day and I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to the incredible coaches who support me and in turn support the goals and evolving vision of Sergent Wellness.

Their knowledge, guidance, insights and encouragement make such a difference in all parts of my life— not only my fitness and performance, they each support my life journey in their own ways.

Having coaches that I trust and that know me on a deep level is such a gift. I am grateful for the way they pour into me, and am so thankful for the impact they’ve had on Sergent Wellness. 💪✨

@ coach_steph.seeley is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer - NSCA, and my long time friend and advocate. She has written my workout programming for the past 8 years and supported me from the beginning of my concerted strength training journey. She’s taught me and continues to teach me about the gym - whether it’s dialing in my dead lift form or setting me straight when my ego takes over. She has long supported my efforts to build strength and power and over the years she’s taught me just as much about stress management, how to adjust my training accordingly and how to overcome limiting mindsets that were stalling my progress. Her guidance has helped me embrace a sustainable, adaptable, shame-free approach to health and fitness that truly fits my life. And her voice and art of questioning lives through my work with patients at Sergent Wellness.

I attended a course this weekend and it was so interesting!

Myokinematic Restoration | An Integrated Approach to Treatment of Patterned Lumbo-Pelvic-Femoral Pathomechanics

🤓 So a little nerd moment for those of you that are curious….Myokinematics is the study of motion, or lack of motion produced by a specific muscle source. The study of myokinematic dysfunction is the study of motion adaptations. In this course, we learned a new approach to evaluating and treating the low back pelvis and hip using movement patterns and the existing asymmetries that exist inherently in our bodies. We learned special tests and unique exercises with specific activation cues to help patients secure and maintain optimal position of their bodies.

💡I’ve got a long road ahead of continued learning to truly grasp this method and look forward to the outcomes we will achieve as I implement this with our patients.

Huge thank you to Danielle and Eric Phillips - the PRI power couple and owners of for hosting the course.
And to our instructor Jennifer Poulin who was deeply knowledgeable and brought humor to the whole experience- which is great because these concepts are not easy and she kept us light and airy throughout the weekend.

In summary, if I’m seeing you for anything from the waist down, get ready to do some very outside of the box techniques 🤗

👋 Meet Dr Julie, the driving force behind Sergent Wellness. The woman helping active adults & athletes of all levels stay strong, move with confidence, avoid unnecessary doctors visits, & get back to the sports & life they love.

💡 Dr Julie’s journey into physical therapy started young. As a child, she witnessed firsthand the power of movement & rehabilitation when a close friend suffered a traumatic injury. That experience shaped her passion for helping people reclaim their strength and independence, & ultimately led her to earn her Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Over the past 16 years, she’s worked with patients from all walks of life—including time spent in military healthcare, local hospitals & rehab centers. It became clear that in traditional healthcare, provider productivity & quality of care are often inversely related. Essentially, she found that the demand of high patient volume meant less time to focus on individual care, & led to less optimal outcomes.

So, she did things differently. 💙

In her pursuit of finding both personal and professional fulfillment, Dr Julie established Sergent Wellness. Here she’s able to provide a tailored, whole human approach, ensuring every person gets the time and attention they deserve. She concentrates on injury prevention & performance optimization. Her focus goes far beyond treating symptoms & injuries to foster long-term well-being, empowering her patients to welcome change, prioritize self-care, & celebrate the small victories.

💪🏼Not only is Dr Julie a skilled physical therapist & business owner, she’s also a mom which is by far her most challenging & rewarding job. She loves strength training, exploring new ways to challenge her body, & has many goals when it comes to her fitness. Movement keeps her grounded- providing mental clarity, physical strength, & longevity. Dr Julie also enjoys hiking, traveling, keeping her plants alive, & meal prepping. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support her family & patients is her life’s work. Her passion for movement, wellness, & learning fuels everything she does.

Today we celebrate 3 years of having on our team! 💫 She’s our dedicated operations manager, handling all our back end tasks, our social media queen 👸🏻, plant mom 🪴, and just plain amazing at keeping things moving smoothly start to finish.

Three years ago, something magical happened—Hayley found Sergent Wellness through our Tops magazine article and decided to take a leap of faith by reaching out about a job. She didn’t know much about me or the clinic, but it was clear from that first meeting that it was meant to be. Hayley’s energy, passion for wellness, and unmatched organizational talent have been a game-changer for us. I’m beyond grateful she trusted her instincts because our team wouldn’t be the same without her. Thanks to Hayley for being an integral part our growth at and for enhancing the experience of everyone who walks through our doors 🙏🩷
