The Clinician Behind Backstage Performance Medicine

---

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, residency-trained and board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist, with ten+ years of experience helping high-demand individuals move, recover, and perform at their best.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Nutrition from the University of Georgia, followed by my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Mercer University. I then completed an Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency through Mercer, where I advanced my clinical training and achieved board certification as an Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS).

Since 2016, I’ve practiced in outpatient orthopaedic physical therapy, treating a wide range of orthopedic and neurological conditions across all activity levels, from weekend warriors to collegiate athletes, industrial workers, and performing artists. In 2021, I founded my concierge physical therapy and wellness practice to provide more individualized, performance-focused care tailored to the unique demands of each client.

My work is centered around people whose bodies are their livelihood, beginning with rock climbers and fitness professionals, and growing to dancers, performing artists, touring crew, and utility workers. I’ve worked with performers and crew members across Atlanta, Dallas, and San Diego, and have provided backstage care for artists and their supporting talent including Chris Brown, New Kids on the Block, Green Day, and Lauren Daigle. Most recently, I traveled with the Disney Descendants & Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, supporting cast and crew through the rigorous demands of touring life.

In addition to my work in the entertainment industry, I worked with the San Diego Gas & Electric company from 2022–2025 to develop strength and conditioning programs to promote longevity for utility workers in physically demanding and high-risk roles. This experience further shaped my approach to injury prevention, resilience, and performance in real-world environments. 

My clinical approach blends hands-on care with movement-based training. I utilize functional movement assessments, manual therapy techniques including myofascial and trigger point release, and strength and conditioning principles to improve mobility, restore function, and enhance performance. I also incorporate recovery modalities such as cupping, pneumatic compression, and athletic taping to support tissue healing and reduce strain.

The work doesn’t stop. Your performance shouldn’t either.

At the core of my practice is a belief that care should be both personalized and proactive. Through clear communication, individualized programming, and a focus on long-term performance, I help clients optimize movement and build sustainable strength, so they can continue doing what they love at the highest level.
