A whole-person approach to strength, health and performance.
Hi, I’m Ember.
My work is shaped by more than 23 years of experience as a physical therapist, with a background in orthopedics and women’s health. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about helping people better understand their bodies, build lasting strength, and develop the capacity to keep doing the things that matter to them.
I bring an athlete mindset to health at every age— not because everyone needs to compete, but because I believe our bodies are a gift entrusted to us and worth caring for well. That means looking beyond the workout to how we train and move, how we fuel, how we sleep, how light shapes our daily rhythms, and how intentionally we recover and restore. Caring for each of these foundations helps us build bodies that are strong, resilient, and capable of supporting the lives we’re called to live and the people we’re called to serve.
Alongside my clinical experience, I’ve expanded my training in nutrition coaching, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), and women’s health through the perimenopause years. This broader lens allows me to look beyond any one symptom or goal, connect the dots between the different factors influencing health and performance, and help each person identify the areas that may make the greatest difference.
My work now centers around two populations I care deeply about: women building strength and supporting lifelong health through movement, nutrition, and supportive daily rhythms, and developing athletes building strong, well-fueled bodies and the foundations for healthy, sustainable performance.
Whether you’re investing in your own health or supporting a developing athlete, my goal is to help you better understand what the body needs to thrive and turn that understanding into practical, sustainable habits that support strength, resilience, health and performance.

Wellness Resources
Shaklee
Shaklee offers high-quality supplements, protein, and home essentials rooted in decades of research and rigorous testing. These are products I personally use and recommend to support energy, recovery, and sustainable healthy habits.
Counter
Counter creates skincare and beauty products with a strong focus on ingredient transparency and safety standards that go beyond industry norms. I appreciate their commitment to cleaner formulations that support skin health without unnecessary additives.
Lumebox
LUMEBOX makes red light therapy easy to use at home as part of a recovery or wellness routine. It’s a gentle, supportive option I recommend alongside consistent movement and self-care habits.
BlockBlueLight
Block Blue Light has my favorite “no blue” booklight which I also use as my candle for evening showers and for tucking in my boys.
Midwest RLT
Midwest offers blue light–filtering glasses designed to reduce exposure to LED and screen-based light throughout the day. I like these as a simple, wearable option to support eye comfort and better light hygiene in everyday routines.

LifeWave
LifeWave’s non-invasive phototherapy patches are designed to support overall wellness through the body’s natural light responsive pathways. Many users report benefits related to energy, recovery, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
The X39 patch uses reflected light to stimulate specific points on the skin and has been studied for its effects on the GHK-CU peptide, which is associated with healthy aging and tissue repair. I’ve used LifeWave patches for the past year and have been impressed with my results. If you’re curious about the science behind this tech, I’d encourage you to learn more.
