Professional History:
I graduated from New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in 2007 where I was not only a PT student but an athletic trainer to as many as six of the participating teams. Since then, I have had wonderful experiences in a variety of settings including outpatient orthopedics, acute care (including labor and delivery and high risk pregnancy) and pediatrics (early intervention, NICU, pediatric ortho). I have enjoyed each of these populations but particularly loved working with female patients especially when pregnant or after. This was how I became intrigued with pelvic health PT and have continued to seek to engage in learning and professional growth in that area to be the best that I can be for my patients. In 2018 I opened JMM Health Solutions and began to offer concierge home based services to patients who were pregnant and postpartum, transition moms back to the world of fitness and also services for pediatric pelvic health. In addition to home based visits, I also offer virtual visits for my clients via phone or video platform.
