She graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1982, obtained her masters degree in public administration with an emphasis in healthcare in 2000 from Golden Gate University and became a Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist in 2009. She is LSVT Big certified (a Parkinson’s disease protocol). She is a master clinician who treats the whole body by carefully obtaining one’s personal history, assessing biomechanics that are impeding function and crafting a personal rehabilitation program for each client.
