Professional & Educational Background:

  • BS in Physical Therapy

In my Physical Therapy practice, I integrate a combination of therapeutic modalities that together provide an effective “whole body“ approach to relieving pain, restoring function and motion and facilitating the return of optimal postural alignment, which in turn fosters greater balance of the body and mind.

With over 25 years of experience as a Physical Therapist, I have been serving the Flathead Valley of Montana for the last 15 years in private practice. I specialize in the treatment of:

  • Back and neck disorders
  • Chronic pain management
  • Soft tissue disorders such as Myofascial pain and fibromyalgia
  • Impaired movement patterns and dysfunctional postural problems
  • Repetitive strain and whiplash injuries
  • Post surgical orthopedic rehabilitation
  • Headaches

I view the body as having it’s own innate wisdom that has the inherent ability to heal itself and return to a state of balance. Occasionally, the body/mind requires gentle facilitation and assistance in this healing process. In my practice, the integration of various manual therapy techniques such as: myofascial release, Cranio-sacral therapy, neuromuscular re-education, soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization have greatly enhanced the healing and rehabilitation process for the majority of my patients. In addition, I teach individualized therapeutic exercises which beautifully compliment the usage of these manual therapies in assisting the re-education of the neuromuscular system: various strengthening and yoga based stretching exercises, Feldenkrais movement awareness, somatics, postural re­education, physioball exercises, pool therapy, Pilates spinal stabilization and focused breath work are instructed during treatment sessions and given as a home program.

I have recently introduced Body Talk Access into my therapy session, which creates a profound relaxation response in the body and facilitates greater balance in the mind, body and spirit. My ultimate intention is to help the body “unlearn what has been learned and remember what has been forgotten“.
