Throughout her career, Heather has held numerous leadership roles, including leadership positions within collegiate gymnastics programs and serving as a clinic director over the last 3 years. These experiences have strengthened her ability to guide her patients through injury recovery, performance development, and long-term health with clarity, accountability, and confidence.
Originally from Austin, Texas, Heather now lives in Farmington with her husband, Brendon, and their two dogs, Ryker and Ellie.

Heather takes a performance-driven, individualized approach to care that goes beyond symptom relief. Her goal is to restore strength, mobility, and confidence while addressing underlying movement deficits to reduce future injury risk.
