Check back soon to see the nice things our patients have to say about us.
Amy,
Your Frequency Specific Microcurrent Protocol was my deliverance from agony.
Last Friday, I was diagnosed with shingles. It was in my throat and jaw. My first treatment for shingles and inflammation was several hours on Friday afternoon (again on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday). By Saturday night I was in such pain I took an opioid. When I woke up on Sunday morning the shingles pain was gone. Without your FSM protocol, I would have been in agony for days/weeks.
Thank you!

I have been a scoliosis patient for the past 30 years and have worked with various forms of therapy. I have been fortunate to work with some very talented therapists, but I was interested in working with someone familiar with the Schroth method, which led me to Amy. In addition to my 'normal' scoliosis discomfort, I was also experiencing a dull pain in my side and intermittent joint pain.
Amy helps 'connect the dots' regarding what seems to be unrelated symptoms. She develops exercises geared toward my specific needs and modifies those exercises as I learn to strengthen weaker muscle groups. For example, as I became more aware of my breathing patterns through Amy's coaching and exercises, I noticed the dull pain in my side had significantly reduced. For example, as I become aware of a problem, such as a back spasm, I can quickly use one of the stretching techniques Amy taught me. These techniques are practical; I can hold onto a shopping cart or find a table to stretch out my arms, no need for laying down or using any equipment. Amy also provides hands-on assistance when I need extra help with some chronic pain. I haven't found anything I throw at Amy that she hasn't been able to find a way to help me through it!
Working with Amy offers the freedom to work on multiple areas during a session, unlike traditional (insurance-based) physical therapy, which is limited to working on one specific site for a set amount of time. Amy is not a 'one size fits all' therapist; my sessions are tailored to my changing needs. She will also take videos of the exercises I am doing while I am in her office. I can watch the videos at home to ensure I follow the movement correctly. I laugh when I hear her say something on the video, 'don't let your knee turn out,' and I look down, and my knee is turned out slightly – it's a little freaky, actually.
Amy treats the person I am when I walk in, not the person I was the last time she saw me. She understands some things may be better and others need more attention and work. She will always ask how I am doing, but before I can answer, I know she has already looked at me and figured out where some of my issues are coming from.
If Amy is looking for a specific change based on a new exercise I am doing, and I don't feel what she is talking about, she will approach the exercise differently. It is never that I couldn't do it; she sees that she hasn't figured out the right approach. When she does figure it out, and she will, she'll let out a little sinister laugh.
When I mentioned increased inflammation that seemed sporadic, Amy made dietary suggestions that helped decrease my pain and inflammation. I was surprised when Amy did cranial work on me, and I found an immediate release within my jaw and upper body. Amy has recommended different products that I have found to be very useful in supporting my back and joint issues.
Amy is determined to improve her client's health and well-being, even when, in my case, the problems started long before I met her. She is very resourceful and constantly amazes me with her wealth of knowledge.
Amy goes beyond physical therapy; she has a holistic view of helping someone. For example, she teaches movement but also explains why that movement is important. If a band would help, she will point that out to you and show you the correct way to use the band.
After 2½ years, I am still learning and benefiting from Amy's care. She continues to keep me motivated and engaged in my treatment.

Before I had been recommended to go to Amy by my doctor, I was in intense back and lower right-side pain. This pain caused four ER visits, five CT scans, various ultrasounds and blood work. All with no conclusion. Upon meeting Amy the first time, she had a diagnosis within minutes! After a few visits, I have been pain-free and feeling more like myself. Amy is a miracle that came into my life. I bless her and her hands every day! She is truly the BEST.

My journey with Amy began in January 2021. I’ve had scoliosis since I was a child and it’s not been addressed as it relates to its impact over my lifetime from a pain and posture perspective. As I saw my mom lose height and posture over her later years, my objective was to work with Amy to determine what I could do to slow down progression of my own loss of height and maintain posture. Another area that we are addressing is left shoulder pain. My range of motion on my left side was reduced due to the pain I’ve had in the rotator cuff area. Amy and I are still working together. My focus will be lifelong to slow down progression. After 9 months, it appears I’ve gained some height back and have far fewer back aches when walking — just about none. I have no pain in my left shoulder. Amy’s expertise, knowledge, and know-how enable her to be laser-focused on what her patients are experiencing and how to address each scenario. What surprised me the most was the time that Amy takes to continue her own development and education for the benefit of her patients. Now that I know Amy, I’m not at all surprised that she ensures she takes time for continuing education. My initial focus was the impact of my scoliosis. Amy has also supported me in resolving left shoulder pain, some improvement in my knee pain, and she identified a Vestibular Therapist who was also outstanding and who supports me in resolving vertigo episodes. The main reasons why I’d recommend Amy to other patients is Amy’s ongoing self-development/continuing education focus, her clear expertise on the interconnectedness of our anatomy and how one area impacts another, and her ability to identify other practitioners when needed. And she’s fun and interesting to spend time with!

My experience with Amy has been nothing short of life changing. She has healed me in so many ways. I often joke that she has “magic hands.” But the truth is, she is just so incredibly committed to her craft that she is an absolute expert. Not only has she been doing this work for a long time, but she does more continuing education than anyone I know. She has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and actively chooses to dive headfirst into as much body related information that she can find. I believe that she uses every patient and experience as an opportunity to learn and better her skills. Her manipulation is gentle, but her drive is fierce. I feel truly grateful for every appointment I share with her and feel privileged to have her as such a vital part of my well-being. er wait list can be long but I can assure you it is well worth the wait. As long as she is in practice, I will be a forever patient!

Amy has an amazing talent for listening to the body and honoring its request. She has such a wide range of knowledge and is willing to share what she knows in order to help the patient feel better. Amy puts all of these skills to such great use AND has an amazing bedside manner sprinkled with a generous sense of humor. I have put my trust in her and have been amazed at the results we have achieved together. She has been a vital member of my “dream team” that is helping me recover from a lifetime of chronic illness.

Amy is one of the most competent and highly educated therapists I have ever met. She has an incredible knowledge, a genuine interest in her patients’ well-being and is a first-class professional. She thinks outside the box when other clinicians fail to do so.
I have been receiving physical therapy from Amy for many years. My doctor initially referred me to her for pelvic floor therapy for recurring UTI’s. Her keen evaluation of me found a connection between many interrelated anatomical systems that were causing my numerous and varied symptoms. Her expertise and knowledge of the human anatomy is incredibly in depth and accurate. She has healing hands, knows the human body, and identifies the areas and systems that need attention. Her assessments are always spot on. I consistently note results after every visit. Not only does she provide treatment in the clinical setting, but she also provides exercises and stretches that help at home and between visits. She always listens to my concerns and symptoms when making her plan of treatment. I highly recommend Amy for her expertise in numerous medical and healing modalities.

I began my treatment with Amy approximately 10 years ago. My main symptoms were recurring UTI’s, migraines, constipation, pelvic floor prolapse. I felt exasperated and defeated that after all the modalities I had tried I wasn’t improving. All of these conditions that I came in with have improved. I seldom get migraines, less UTI’s. I understand constipation much better, as she educated me about how low motility, which I have, affects intestines and some ways of working with that. Until then I thought it must be what I was eating that was the problem. I have not worked with other PT’s, but I know how differently Amy works. I love her hands on approach and vast store of other modalities that she studies and uses when applicable. What surprises me the most about Amy is how many patients she sees in a day, a week, her energy level and how much she cares about her patients and their families. How many courses, workshops, she has taken and continues to take. Her fun sense of humor! Amy knows how interconnected the body is, for example, how my migraines although presenting in head, neck, and back pain really entailed whole body posturing. Or how constipation, UTI’s, migraines are connected to emotional, mental, spiritual imbalances and tension patterns that may have to be included as part of the healing process. I would recommend Amy because she has treated so many patients with so many different difficult conditions and provided relief. Amy has given me tools that are invaluable in my healing. I have friends that have been helped by Amy. Amy is constantly studying, taking classes, learning the latest findings in health as well as a solid background in traditional medicine. Amy knows her limitations and will recommend other practitioners for things she is not qualified to treat.

My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis a few years ago. We went to a local physical therapist and my daughter diligently did exercises every day, but her condition only worsened and the curves in her back grew. Exercising every day was not enough, at least with the exercises we were given. Trying to avoid surgery, we did some research and found Amy. Immediately I knew she was just what we needed. Her knowledge of body mechanics is incredible. Unfortunately, we didn’t find her in enough time to avoid surgery, but I know without a doubt that the work she did to strengthen my daughters back made surgery extremely successful. We are 2 months out from surgery. Recovery time was shortened, and life is normal again. I can’t thank her enough for all the personalized attention and true human kindness. My only regret is that we didn’t find her sooner.

Amy is a blend of compassion, enthusiasm, and professionalism. She knows the value of her skills to patients and continues to add hours of advanced training. I had a spinal fusion in my early twenties. The doctor gave me a corset with metal stays and no PT! Over the past forty years my body added compensations galore to keep me upright and out of pain… as a result my torso tilted 1-1/2 inches left-of-center impacting my ability to walk. Tennis was completely off the table. Today my torso is upright. Because of Amy’s skills and coaching I will not be crippled in my old age from the long-term implications of an operation in my twenties.
