Transform Your Health with Evidence-Based Physical Therapy & Personalized Wellness Coaching

Welcome to Evolving with Motion

Evolving with Motion is rooted in the belief that true wellness is achieved when your whole health can be addressed. I founded this practice because in my previous clinical roles, I saw a critical gap between the conventional healthcare system and overall wellness services. The healthcare system lacked the ability to explore interdisciplinary root causes while wellness services can lack the needed expertise. It’s within this gap, many people – especially women – get left behind. At Evolving with Motion, you are more than a diagnostic code and deserve access to a full range of physical therapy and holistic wellness. 

I’m passionate about supporting working women through pain, injury recovery, and building strength and stamina. I offer comprehensive, personalized programs that deliver measurable improvements to your health and wellness.

With a doctorate and over 20 years of clinical experience in physical therapy, orthopedic and sports medicine, and women’s health, I combine evidence-based treatments with a tailored approach to serve you as both a skilled practitioner and dedicated health coach. Read more about me here.

Evolving with Motion Approach:

A Biopsychosocial Method

My approach is founded on the principle that true healing requires addressing the whole person – not just physical symptoms. I combine three core dimensions:

  • Bio: Leveraging extensive knowledge of biology, physiology, and biomechanics, I examine your musculoskeletal and nervous systems to understand the root causes of discomfort.

  • Psycho: We explore mindset blocks, limiting beliefs, and stress factors that might be holding you back. Drawing from therapeutic coaching and trauma-informed practices, I help shift your perspective and boost your confidence.

  • Social: Your goals matter most. Rather than treating you like a diagnosis, I focus on how you desire to move through life. Whether you’re striving to return to an active lifestyle or prevent recurring injuries, my tailored approach ensures that your unique aspirations drive your healing journey.

My biopsychosocial approach creates a premium, customized service that goes far beyond one-size-fits-all solutions to support you as you work toward a healthy body, mind, and nervous system.

  • Dr. Lisa helped guide me with the tools I needed to help manage my chronic headaches. I’ve been headache free for 6 months now and know exactly what to do if they come back.

  • Lisa at Evolving with Motion changed my view on what healthcare should be. Her one-on-one personal care ensures that you'll feel heard and cared for instead of just a time slot on a specialist’s schedule. She treated my chronic neck pain in a way that catered specifically to my needs and felt manageable for me to continue at home on my own, as needed. Highly recommend her as a physical therapist specialist!

  • Dr. Lisa wants you to honor yourself. This is so much more than PT!

    – Dawn M.

  • I highly encourage anyone wanting to get moving again to seek assistance from Lisa and her services. Her approach is thoughtful, holistic, knowledge-based and exactly what healthcare should be. Years after an ankle injury (and COVID and life) I came to the realization that pain was keeping me stuck. Lisa helped me discover that fear was as well and gently propelled back into a more active lifestyle. I benefited from treatments I'd never heard of as well as learning exactly how tried and true movements benefited me making them that much more purposeful, which encouraged me to stick with it. I love knowing that if I ever get stuck again, she's just a call clicker, social media post away.

Many women – including myself – have similar stories of what finally got them to seek support. Whether they were recovering from an injury, burned out, or tired of not being able to prioritize their own wellness, there is an underlying feeling that is all too common. I wrote a vignette to describe this feeling, and I invite you to read on and see if any of it resonates with you.
