Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’m thrilled to be here with you. Let’s get you feeling better!

Stemming from my own personal journey with chronic pelvic pain over the last 20 years, I have a passion to help individuals suffering from pelvic floor related issues to improve their quality of life, by providing compassionate and empathetic treatment, helping them navigate their options, and connecting them with the information and resources that they need.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from ASU (Forks Up!), and earned my Associate of Applied Science as a physical therapist assistant from Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon in 2021. I’ve continued my education with courses on Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Coccydynia, SI Joint Dysfunction, and the 3 month PelviEd Residency with Dr. Tara and Dr. Kylee. I love to educate, and have helped to train the next generation of PTA’s as a clinical instructor.

I have spent time in many different settings, including inpatient, outpatient ortho, and home health, but my career goal has always been to specialize in treating pelvic floor pain and dysfunction. My next career goal is to earn my Pelvic Health Sexuality Counseling certification!

In my free time, I can be found playing board games or computer games with my husband or friends, reading fantasy novels, watching Gilmore Girls, or hanging out with my 3 dogs, Karl, Hamish, and Dougal.
