Hi, I'm Natalie.
I help runners rehab smarter, train stronger, and return to the miles they love.
My Story
My journey with running started in high school and continued on as a collegiate athlete. After college, running remained a major part of my life, leading me to compete in numerous race distances - everything from a road mile up to multiple marathons.
As a physical therapist, competitive runner, and mom to young kids, I understand the challenges of balancing training with everyday life. I also know firsthand how difficult it can be to work through running injuries - including bone stress injuries - and the physical and mental challenge of getting back to where you want to be.
Running is what first brought me into the physical therapy space. Over the years, I have found my niche in this field working with runners who are trying to have longevity in the sport, overcome major injuries, and continue chasing their goals.
Whether you are training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, returning from an injury, or simply trying to run pain-free, my goal is to help you build a realistic plan that fits into your busy life so you can move with confidence and experience the joy of running again.
