Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute
My journey into physical therapy began with a deep curiosity about movement, body autonomy, and what truly supports a high quality of life. In PT school, I discovered my passion for manual therapy and immersed myself in the Functional Manual Therapy paradigm, which has become a cornerstone of my clinical approach. I’m currently Hawaii’s only Certified Functional Manual Therapist and one of only a few pelvic floor specialists in the state.
As I entered clinical practice, my toolbox continued to expand. I found myself drawn to complex, multifactorial conditions and now specialize in Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Connective Tissue Disorders, Traumatic Injuries, and Orthopedic Injuries.
What keeps me inspired is knowing that I can play a role in helping someone feel better in their body—recovering from life’s twists and turns, reclaiming confidence, and preventing unnecessary injuries.
Outside the clinic, I love spending time with my husband and our chocolate Labrador, getting outdoors, diving into continuing education, and traveling whenever I can.

As Operations Coordinator at Physio Wellness, I make sure our patients and team enjoy a smooth and welcoming experience every day. With a background in customer service, administration, and behavioral health, I enjoy bringing organization, care, and connection to the work we do each day.
