Heather is a dedicated and compassionate physical therapist who takes a whole-body approach to helping her clients feel and function their best. Since earning her Master’s in Physical Therapy from Wheeling Jesuit University in 1997, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings with individuals of all ages and diagnoses — from newborns to older adults.
Heather has a deep passion for learning and specializes in gentle, hands-on manual therapy techniques that support the body’s natural healing process. Her advanced training includes craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, functional technique, and myofascial release. In 2010, she completed a four-year training program in the Feldenkrais Method®, which adds a dimension of neurological re-education for movement to her work.
Heather is deeply committed to professional growth. She regularly exceeds continuing education requirements, attends local study groups, and participates in mentoring sessions to stay current and inspired. She also collaborates with a wide network of practitioners and makes referrals when appropriate to ensure her clients receive the comprehensive care needed to reach their desired goals.
When she’s not in the clinic or a course, Heather enjoys spending time with her family, playing games, watching her twin boys play baseball, or playing pickleball with her husband. She also loves biking, walking, exercising, catching up with friends over coffee, and cheering on the Orioles and Ravens.

To return you comfortably to your activities — quickly, safely, and sustainably.
Heather’s goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to identify and address the root causes of pain or dysfunction. By restoring proper motion and balance — often disrupted by injuries, poor posture, surgeries, falls, stress, or daily habits — she supports the body in doing what it does best: healing itself.
Through a combination of manual therapy, posture and movement re-education along with exercise and listening, Heather empowers each client to regain comfort, ease, and freedom of movement — so they can return to living a full life having ease and comfort.
Let’s do this — together.
Heather believes that no two people are alike — even if they share the same diagnosis — and that true healing requires a personalized, whole-body treatment plan. She performs thorough, head-to-toe assessments that include posture, gait, skeletal, muscular, and fascial balance, cranial and visceral motion, and the autonomic nervous system
Heather believes that no two people are alike — even if they share the same diagnosis — and that true healing requires a personalized, whole-body treatment plan. She performs thorough, head-to-toe assessments that include posture, gait, skeletal, muscular, and fascial balance, cranial and visceral motion, and the autonomic nervous system.
Her treatments combine gentle manual therapy techniques with movement re-education to support the body’s natural healing process. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, surgery, chronic pain, stress-related tension, or pain from an unknown cause that has gradually increased over time, Heather tailors each plan to meet the client’s specific goals, lifestyle, and needs, correcting any current dysfunctions and helping to prevent future ones.
She works in close partnership with her clients, helping them develop body awareness and understand their movement patterns in various settings, including work, home, and recreation.
