She took the initiative as a student to further her education outside the classroom and the standard curriculum. She has received special training focused on Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy through the American Physical Therapy Association (Level 1 Certification) in February 2022.

I started seeing Heather to treat my Interstitial Cystitis in November 2016. At this time, I was extremely miserable, in constant pain, and felt as though no one was listening or understood what was going on with my body. I have just finished my last appointment and I can honestly say that my life has completely changed for the better because of Heather and her team of PTs! I live almost completely pain free, and when I do have flare ups, I am able to treat them at home on my own. I am so grateful that this office was recommended to me a honestly cannot recommend them enough!
