Alison grew up in Massachusetts and Alaska. Since earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2009, she has worked at a wide range of facilities all over the US including an inner-city, long-term care facility in Boston and a stroke recovery center in Arizona. She decided to become a traveling PT so that their family could explore the nation, working with patients from ages 2 to 104 in nine different states and in multiple settings, one of which was Livingston, MT. 

Alison wants to help her neighbors understand what is “normal” for their body and to give them the tools to feel centered and confident throughout their day. She is grateful for the science pertaining to the pelvic floor, which she feels is a region of the body that has been ignored for far too long. 

Alison, her husband David, and son Emmett fell in love with Montana and chose Livingston as their forever home in 2016. Alison spends her free time engaging with the community by volunteering, participating in local races, acting as Vice Chair of the Parks and Trails Committee, and coaching youth soccer. She enjoys recreating in the mountains year-round, adventuring with her family (including their beloved family dogs, Olive and Lulu) and nuturing Emmett’s musical talents.
