It's Time for You
to Look, Move,
Feel Better

Since 1992, I have worked full time as a physical therapist. I truly love my work, and I am known for my empathy, creativity, and my heart-centered and whole-person approach. I combine my intuitive skills with my vast experience and knowledge to solve the clinical puzzle every day, something I find to be a never-ending learning experience and joy.

​

I address acute and chronic pain, faulty posture and movement patterns, and orthopedic and neurological conditions. These conditions impair functional movement and restrict optimal performance in daily living, work, sports, fitness, and equestrian activities. I treat headache, post-concussive syndrome, TMJ, neck, upper extremity, thoracic, lumbar, pelvic, and lower extremity pain and dysfunction.

​

My treatments strive to address the whole person: emotions, feelings, thoughts, brain, and body. The goal is returning a person to optimal holistic balance, organization, and function. 

​

I have more than 30 years of experience offering tissue-specific manual therapies, neuromuscular re-education, movement with awareness, postural improvement, and strength-and-fitness methods to help people look, feel, and move better. Most of my rehabilitation clients come to me after traditional physical therapy has left them with lingering deficits in function and unresolved pain.

​

I have had a private practice for 20 years, incorporating pilates with physical therapy and fitness. Most recently, I have trained with and received licensing for ONERO, an evidence-based program to develop strength, increase bone mineral density, and prevent falls and fractures in people with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

​​

I work privately with clients in a beautiful setting, which invites client focus and introspection; this facilitates the discovery of new possibilities for movement and being. I strive to uncover what appears to be driving a patient's pain, such as unbalanced loads in the body and non-optimal habitual ways of posturing or moving. I use pilates, movement with awareness, and many learned approaches to help a person discover more optimal ways of moving. I integrate movement with manual therapy techniques to release restrictions that often contribute to pain, loss of mobility, and function. These techniques involve "listening" through my hands to find a person's primary area of restriction and start the connect-and-release process. Often with traumas the restrictions and system impairments are so complex, starting with listening and following the innate intelligence and healing abilities of the body is a proven way to progress.

​

I graduated from Quinnipiac College with a BS psychobiology with double majors in biology and psychology in 1983 and graduated from Arcadia University's MS physical therapy program in 1992. When I am not in my studio, I can be found with my horse, Lewis, or spending time with my husband, David, in our lovely home in Titusville, NJ.
