Being a mom and a physical therapist is really hard, and we are losing great women in our profession because of it. PT Mom Boss is a virtual membership platform for physical therapist moms for community, resources and coaching to balance #PTlife #Momlife and #Bosslife.

Rachel is a physical therapist mom who owned her own cash based clinic in North Carolina before life threw a huge curveball, and her family relocated to northern Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Superior, where PT Mom Boss was born.

A physical therapist and entrepreneur who loves to teach, Rachel is passionate about inspiring leadership growth in women of all ages, including her two young daughters. With a focus on critical thinking, clear communication, and creative solutions to real-world challenges, she empowers others to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

You lead with strength, heart full of grace,

In every challenge, you find your place.

With vision and passion, you always succeed,

Helping others bloom, watering every seed.
