I entered into the field of hands on therapy after a debilitating lower back injury in 1997. Having a multitude of treatments including physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture, I realized an important component was missing. Since then,I have been working toward integrating pain-free orthopedic therapy and sport injury treatments to people looking for alternatives to medicines to improve their health.
I graduated from the Texas Massage Institute with extensive training and experience in Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Active Isolated Stretching and countless hours of training with author and international lecturer James Waslaski. For four years I worked in a physical medicine clinic treating patients and working with many medical practitioners. This led me to a position of traveling across North America with one of Broadways longer running productions, now in its 30th year, National Tour of Cats. I maintained and provided sports and orthopedic therapy to over 100 dancers during the two years on tour. Now that I am home from touring North America, I began Orthopedic Performance in 2005. I office with a great osteopath Dr Jay, located in Southlake Texas.
I have worked very hard to establish a higher level of training in orthopedic therapy to be able to provide clients with results in pain free movement and enhanced performance through structural integration.
May God Bless You and I look forward to assisting you,
