Whether you’re a beginner equestrian or a competitive rider, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals through holistic, professional, and compassionate care. Hands-on techniques complement off-horse and ridden exercises to provide efficient outcomes. I will work with you to address whole body wellness and healing with my understanding of the specific demands of equestrian sports.

There is often no quick, one-and-done fix when it comes to recovery and strengthening. Bodies take time to process, repair, and change. Physical therapy's significant and long-term results are best for people who are consistent, motivated, and dedicated.
