    About our guest:

    I graduated Summa cumme laude from Lipscomb University in 2006 with a double major of Exercise Science and Spanish having played on a scholarship for volleyball. Due to an injury in college to my spine, I then decided to attend Belmont University where I graduated with my Doctorate Of Physical Therapy. Since then, I have achieved a board certification in orthopedics, certification in orthopedic manual therapy and several other certifications and continuing educatio education including dry needling, pelvic pain, pre and post-natal pilates specialist and specifically progressing female athletes to and through pregnancy.

    I started my own practice in 2018 to allow my clients more 1:1 care and allow for a better family-work balance called Priority Physical Therapy. I reside in Mt. Juliet with my husband of 17+ years (Weldon), 2 children (Audrey and Collin) and newly adopted German Shorthair pointers (Tess and Dotty). When I'm not at work, I will be at my kids' events, on the lake, working out or reading "nerdy" anatomy/self-care books.
