I have been a physical therapist since 2009, treating both pelvic health and orthopedic patients.  After having children of my own, I jumped further into pelvic health, because I was not happy with my postpartum care where I was told "You're a woman, what do you expect?"  That is not adequate healthcare for women after pregnancy, it's just not.   As I have personally progressed into perimenopause, I have widened my perspective on how the pelvic floor changes during perimenopause and menopause, and believe that women should not be suffering with pelvic floor symptoms during these transitional times.  Providing high quality pelvic health is a passion of mine, as the symptoms people come in to my office with are impacting their lives greatly.  I love being able to spend time with my patients, and hear what brought you in, and then work with you to achieve your goals.  

​

My mission with Uplift Pelvic Health is that every individual coming in with pelvic health and/or orthopedic issues leaves with a plan of how we will fix the symptoms, build strength to keep them they away, and have a plan in place for if your symptoms flare.

I graduated from the University of North Dakota with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, and achieved board certification as an Orthopedic Certified Specialist a few years later, which provides a wide breadth of knowledge on how the pelvis and pelvic floor connect and interact with the entire body.  Only 5% of physical therapists ever become board certified as a specialist, which means that I have a high level of education and experience in the field. I also have a certificate as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.  ​

My family is blessed to call Ball Ground our home, and we love being part of the Jasper community through Uplift Pelvic Health, activities my children have joined, and hiking in Pickens county.
