When I was 15 I knew what I wanted to do:
be a coach, a scientist, a teacher and a nurturer.
I am extremely fortunate to be able to fulfill each of those roles through my career. I got my Bachelor’s in Biology in my hometown of Colorado Springs and my Master’s in Physical Therapy at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver in 1992.
Because I am loose jointed and very active, I’ve dislocated or partly so, every major joint in my body and torn every major cartilage. My passion stems from being pain-free most of the time despite a serious back injury (11 mm spondylolithesis from doing Yoga) and EXTENSIVE cartilage damage in my hips and knees from multiple sporting injuries.
I am currently the only Physical Therapist on the West Coast certified as a Level III Somatic Movement Exercise Instructor.
