Meet Emily
I became a physical therapist because I wanted to understand healing—not only as a clinician, but through my own recovery after a serious injury.
As I searched for answers, I discovered that healing wasn't just about muscles or joints. It involved the relationships between movement, breathing, the deep core, the nervous system, the organs, and lived experience. That journey became the foundation of Systems-Based Physical Therapy.
I also realized that healing doesn't happen in isolation—it requires support and community. While I found many practices that helped me reconnect with my body, I couldn't find a place to regularly practice this integrated approach with others. That's why I created my cohorts: a supportive space to learn, practice, and integrate Systems-Based Physical Therapy in community, because lasting change is often easier when we don't have to do it alone.
My Approach to Care
Every person who walks through my door has a unique story. Rather than focusing on one painful area or isolated diagnosis, I look for the relationships between movement, breathing, the deep core, the nervous system, the organs, and lived experience to better understand why symptoms persist.
Our sessions are collaborative and individualized. We'll have a conversation, explore movement and breathing, identify the relationships that may be contributing to your symptoms, and practice new strategies together. My goal is for you to leave not only feeling supported, but with a deeper understanding of your body and practical ways to continue the work between sessions.
