ABOUT ME
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Melody received her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with an option in Exercises Science prior to her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Stonybrook University in New York. While she was in school she spent several years gaining knowledge in the fitness world through Personal training as an ACSM certified personal trainer and also through developing and leading bootcamps.
At the start of Melody’s career she used her technical dance background in combination with specific training in Stott pilates, Functional Manual Therapy training through the IPA, cupping therapy and dance medicine training through Westside performing arts PT to better serve athletes, performers and dancers. She has had the pleasure of working on several shows at the Ahmanson, Pantages, Taper and a few other smaller local theatres. She was also the Physical Therapist for American Contemporary Ballet from 2016-2017
She has since become a Certified Functional Manual Therapist which allows her to evaluate each person as a unique system and treat any individual with an emphasis on efficiency with pain reduction following as as result. She is now training with the Barral Institute to become Certified in Visceral Manipulation and is training in the Integrated Systems Model with Dianne Lee in 2023.
