Here’s what some of my clients have to say!
“Finding Wendy has been a game changer”
Wendy has been an answer to prayers! After my diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos-Hypermobile Disorder, I struggled to find a quality team of people to help me through my medical journey. Finding a Physical Therapist like Wendy who understands the physical complications that result from my condition has been a game changer. She is full of information, willing to seek out and find solutions and is very responsive and communicative. So grateful to have her as a part of my medical team!

“Extremely helpful resource”
I began seeing Wendy shortly after I was diagnosed with hEDS and she has been an extremely helpful resource and supportive part of my medical team. I like that she not only provided me with exercises, but also took the time to explain why they are important and how different parts of my body are connected. Wendy has also helped me work towards my own personal goals, such as being able to return to group work out classes, by providing me with modifications. I would highly recommend Wendy as a PT for anyone struggling with EDS!”

Wendy has been an all-star addition to my medical team! She takes the time getting to know you and your body in order to create an individualized treatment plan that works for your EDS.

Since starting school, Wendy has worked with me to manage my symptoms, keeping me on the road to a happy and healthy life - both in and out of the classroom!

“She is a wealth of EDS knowledge”
As soon as the doctor told me I have EDS, I went to Wendy, and I’m so glad I did! Not only is she an excellent therapist that can help you manage EDS symptoms, but she is such a wealth of information on everything EDS. She even consulted with me and my surgeon, and recommended which sutures to use and how to stitch. I don’t know what I would have done without Wendy, but I do know that with her I’m on the road to recovery.

When my son was 2 months old he was diagnosed with Torticollis and Plagiocephaly. Wendy did a fantastic job working with him early. She gave me tips so that he didn’t need a helmet after all. He's now a happy healthy active toddler.

“Wendy was pivotal in getting my daughter the support she needed”
Wendy has a strong commitment and dedication to working with her patients and their families. She listened to me about my concerns regarding my daughter's gross motor skills when no one else in our family seemed to be concerned. She was the first person to notice her ankles were pronating and likely causing some issues for her. Wendy was pivotal in getting my daughter the support she needed and therapy to get her stronger and become confident while doing so. Wendy also provided us with a home program that we could manage even during our busy daily routines. Thanks to Wendy my daughter is now running, jumping, climbing up and down the stairs with pride while having FUN moving her body! Thank you Wendy!
