“I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and how it works, so it was no surprise when I decided to purse physical therapy after experiencing how life changing PT had been for my high school sweetheart (now husband), as he recovered from a football injury (ultimately leading him to become a Physical Therapist as well).

In 2008, I earned my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from the University of Kentucky, followed by my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Kentucky in 2012. I began my career working primarily in outpatient orthopedics, acute care, and inpatient rehabilitation. After having my first child a couple years later, I began working in skilled nursing facilities and later home health, where I thoroughly enjoyed helping others regain independence and function.

Little did I know, my own experience with regaining function would be exactly what brought me to Pelvic Floor PT following the birth of my second child a few years later. I had a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), however I ended up with a 4th degree perineal tear (the worst birth tear injury you can have). My journey through that postpartum recovery changed everything–ultimately for good! I experienced first-hand the need for improved prenatal and postpartum care and in 2019 I decided to pursue becoming a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. Soon after, I birthed my business baby, New Mom Guru, in 2019!

I’m amazed daily by the women I get to work with and still have to pinch myself, wondering if this is all real. When I’m not working I love spending time with my husband and two daughters, doing barre and kickboxing classes, spending time outside (preferably near a body of water), and day dreaming about traveling with our friends.”
