I help people find freedom in their body— freedom to move without fear, play with their grandchildren, garden, travel, exercise, sleep comfortably, and live everyday life with greater ease. I usually work with people who have tried everything else. They may have chronic pain, stiffness, old injuries, scar tissue, joint replacements, neurological conditions, or simply feel like their body doesn't move the way it used to.

I also work with active adults, athletes, ex-athletes, and those “weekend warriors and renegades” who want to improve their mobility and performance.

You don't have to be in shape or know how to swim to experience AquaStretch, just comfortable being in the water. Sessions are completely individualized, and you are in control of your treatment.

Many people are surprised by how relaxing and effective the treatment feels. They often leave feeling lighter, taller, freer, and moving with greater ease. We always go at your pace.

AquaStretch isn't a water exercise class, and I'm not just having you stretch in a pool.

What I love about AquaStretch is that we address the body as a whole, whereas traditional physical therapy is often more focused on a specific area of the body. With my background in physical therapy, I combine hands-on techniques with the therapeutic benefits of warm water to help the body move more freely and comfortably.

A big part of this whole-body approach is working with the fascia– the connective tissue that surrounds and connects muscles, joints and other structures throughout the body.

I was an athlete growing up, and physical therapy felt like a natural fit for me. I played basketball and sprained my ankles a lot, and because we didn't have an athletic trainer in my small town, I started taping my own ankles—and then other people's. That eventually grew into a career where I could help people meet, and even exceed, their goals.

I began working in aquatic physical therapy, using the water for more traditional strengthening and exercise while bringing some of the hands-on techniques I'd learned in physical therapy school into the pool.
