I first came to Carter Sport Therapy as a client in 2021 with significant pain, numbness, and loss of mobility in my left foot following multiple surgeries. As an avid hiker, I was frustrated by the lack of post-surgical care and unsure how to get back on my feet. A friend recommended Carter Sport Therapy and after a half dozen sessions I woke up one morning and could wiggle my toes again! Since then, I have returned to hiking, backpacking, and other outdoor activities. Based on the pain relief and increased mobility experienced through massage, I became interested in becoming a massage therapist to help others. Life shouldn’t come to a halt due to injury, pain, or muscle/joint stiffness, and I firmly believe that the therapeutic massage I received from Carter Sport Therapy gave me my life back. After working as an environmental engineer for the past 20 years, I am excited for a second career as a massage therapist. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, especially those recovering from surgery or otherwise trying to stay active. One of the great satisfactions I have enjoyed from working at Carter Sport Therapy is helping others relax, recover, and return to activity.
Outside of work I love to hike, read, and spend time with my family and wonderful dog, Pepper.
