What do you love most about your job?
I love that I have the capacity to make profound impact on someone’s overall wellness. Seeing someone get excited about a new technique or skill that will help them maximize their function and be pain-free is what makes me love this job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to give the care I thought people deserved. I worked in an outpatient clinic for three years. In that setting it often felt like a a game to see what you could get insurance to pay for. I wanted to just do my job in the way that was best for my patients and with the strict insurance plans, there were times I felt like I couldn’t. This pushed me out of the clinic towards a more mobile-style of therapy that is more holistic and complete in regards to total wellness. I can spend more time and provide a more complete service with each person. With mobile communication ever-improving, I think we are transitioning back to the concierge-type of medical services and I believe that people who often work from home anyway will see the value of a provider coming to them. Not only is it more convenient but people often function better in their homes or offices where they feel more comfortable than being in a medical facility.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am honest and transparent with your health. I always aim to educate and improve understanding. I complete full physical evaluations as a trained orthopedic physical therapist with sound, simple advice to improve physical ailments. Everything I do including deciding treatment locations, length and frequency of each session, home exercises, lifestyle design, etc. is completely individualized and relevant to you based on my evaluation.
