Having grown up on a cattle farm in central Minnesota, I found the physical demands and resulting injuries of the lifestyle of primary interest. This led me to a career in Physical Therapy. As a Physical Therapist (PT) I have been blessed to observe and assist with patients recovering from musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and lymphatic disfunctions, traumatic and repetitive use injuries. Through my 10 years as a PT I have found my greatest professional passion in treating lymphedema and pain disorders as these affect all age groups and walks of life. In spite of my professional accomplishments, my greatest achievement is the raising of my 5-year-old daughter with my husband and the anticipation of welcoming our second child at the end of October 2025.
