About Dr. Michelle

My journey toward becoming a pelvic floor physical therapist began because I suffered from pelvic pain for which I found no effective treatment for several years, until my doctor suggested I try pelvic floor physical therapy. My physical therapist not only performed treatments which helped ease my pain, she also taught me what I could do to relieve and manage my pain myself. It is my hope that working with me, you will not only find relief with your physical therapy treatments during our visits, you will also learn what you can do to help heal yourself. My patients’ participation in their own healing journey is incredibly important. I want to help you regain control and autonomy over your body and your health. 

Prior to becoming a physical therapist, I was a massage therapist for 12 years. Going back to school for physical therapy was a natural progression in my career as a bodyworker. I attended Wichita State University and completed my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, and attended numerous post-graduate courses through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, the American Physical Therapy Association, and the Barral Institute. My passion for learning continues, and I strive to continue acquiring new knowledge and skills that make me a better practitioner for all of my patients. I enjoy being able to combine my experience as a massage therapist with the skills and knowledge I gained becoming a physical therapist to provide my patients with the best treatment I can offer. 

I currently live with my wife on our small 5 acre farm, where we enjoy spending time with our Australian Shepherd (Norman), cat (Jack), and 3 horses (Buffy, Legs, and Hazel). 

Thank you for considering Breathe Physical Therapy, I look forward to working with you!
