I graduated with a Masters in Physical Therapy from Wichita State University (Kansas) in 1993 and then got Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2010 from Regis university. I also got my massage therapy license in 2001. Have had my massage business in Nixa since 2001.  I worked for Coxhealth for 26 of my 30 years of being a physical therapist. But currently own my own business, specializing in acute whiplash, chronic pain, spine, pelvic pain, headaches and manual therapy. In terms of manual therapy, I have an eclectic approach using osteopathic muscle energy and joint mobilization/manipulation, all kinds of soft tissue mobilization/myofascial release, visceral manipulation, neural manipulation, and arterial manipulation and new manual articular technique. I have also taught a class for chronic pain patients called Explain Pain. I live in Nixa, Missouri and have my business in Ozark MO. I have two kids, a grandson, and a husband. But most importantly, I am also a born again Christian and am happy to share my faith with anyone interested or pray for people who request it.
