About Me
As an avid mover and shaker, you’ll find me everywhere Asheville. I love lifting weights at the gym, rollerblading, teaching and taking Lagree, playing with acro, and chasing my wild children.
I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the George Washington University, but my love of movement started well before that. While working at a desk job out of college, I realized how much I needed the movement to stay sane and balanced. I started to challenge myself through triathlons and half marathons and dabbling in personal and group fitness training. Completing physical therapy school was the natural progression.
Since earning my clinical doctorate, I have dedicated SO MANY hours to furthering my knowledge and honing my expertise. Through over 300 hours (and counting) of advanced coursework, in addition to a Lagree and 250 hour Yoga Certification, I have continuously expanded my skill set so that my clients receive the best care and support.
My coursework includes:
Yoga Teacher Training 250-Hour
Lagree Level 1 Certifcation
Holistic Treatment of the Prenatal and Postpartum Body
Holistic Treatment of Interstitial Cystitis
Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist
Dry Needling Certification
Evaluation and Treatment of the Abdominal Canister
Visceral Manipulation
Low Pressure Fitness
Lumbopelvic Ultrasound Imaging
Treatment of the Shoulder
Spinal Mobilization and Manipulation
Treatment of the Pediatric Pelvic Floor
FAQs
-
The pelvic floor is a set of muscles inside the pelvis. It has many roles including helping to stabilize your hips when you move, coordinating in order to pee or poop, tightening and coordinating with a bunch of other muscles to keep you dry when you sneeze, lengthening to birth a child, and holding up your pelvic organs (to name just some of the functions). It is an incredible set of muscles!
When a person experiences pelvic pain (and pain can be experienced ANYWHERE in the pelvis), urinary leakage, constipation, bowel leakage/smearing, hip pain, tailbone pain (see Services tab for common conditions treated), it is a sign that the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles and joints likely need treatment.

When someone has symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (see Services tab for common conditions), a pelvic floor physical therapist will work with you to find the root cause of the symptoms. An initial evaluation includes external and internal assessment of the pelvic floor muscles (with patient consent!), assessment of the hip joints, the spine, the hip muscles, and the core muscles, though issues from head to toe can affect the pelvic floor. Treatment aims to address all of the things found during the assessment. Exercise, manual therapy (soft tissue, joint, or visceral mobilization), dry needling, and muscle retraining are used as treatment options.

Unfortunately, the current insurance model of physical therapy does not allow for the individual attention and detailed treatment that is provided by Core Dynamics Physical Therapy. Here you will receive the high end, one-on-one services that you deserve.
A detailed superbill can be provided following each visit upon request in order for patients to file for reimbursement. It is best to check with your own insurance companies for out-of-network insurance benefits. You may use this worksheet as a guide to ask questions.

I treat the whole body with a core focus. I’ve seen pelvic pain and urinary leakage caused by tightness in the legs, the hips, or the mid back; I’ve seen low back pain caused by tightness in the pelvic floor. I’ve even seen hip pain caused by poor posture and core weakness. I treat it all, from head to toe.
