I have always wanted to help others through my work. As a water polo player, scuba diver, aerial artist, runner, and cyclist, my love of movement lead me into the world of rehabilitation. I opened my own practice, Synergy + Physical Therapy and Pilates Studio, in California, in order to create an ideal environment for the healing and wellness of my clients. My main focus is Pilates based orthopedic care including sports rehab, chronic pain, hypermobility spectrum disorders and EDS, cancer rehabilitation, pre and post op care, and overall health and wellness. I continue to teach continuing education instruction courses to physical therapists, Pilates instructors, health care practitioners, and the general public. Opening Synergy +, was a dream come true, because it allows me to harness my energy, athletic background, and education into one discipline. Besides enjoying as much time as possible with my three children and husband, my hobbies include hiking and running, mountain biking, swimming, rock climbing, ice skating, playing piano as well as participating in mini triathlons and distance runs. My true passion and dream is to be able to reach a greater population of people, especially those that need care and do not have easy access to it and help them get back on their feet, literally. I enjoy working with athletes of all ages, I enjoy the world of dance and acrobatics, I enjoy keeping the elderly mobile and independent, and I am passionate about reaching a greater population of people who need help restoring movement to their lives.
