Dr. Melanie helps people reconnect with their bodies through supporting injury healing, as well as long-term well-being. Her approach to physical therapy integrates orthopedic care with nervous system awareness, meaning that it’s not just “how you move” but also “how it feels to experience your body” with movement and everyday life. She prioritizes you as a whole-person at the center of your care, and offers a space where you can openly share your concerns and work together towards your health goals. 

Melanie has been offering compassionate rehabilitative care in Central Vermont since 2018, and has extensive experience working with a wide range of orthopedic conditions. Her background in strength training, yoga and somatics allows her to touch on all areas of the movement spectrum, and weave movement with breath and body awareness. She recently completed continuing education with Herman & Wallace and is now beginning to work with individuals with simple pelvic floor conditions. She hopes to expand this clinical interest to support people along their perinatal journey. 

Outside of clinical practice, Melanie loves connecting with others through food, dance and singing in this small but vibrant Vermont community. She considers it to be a privilege to live alongside neighbors who support each other with so much care, and her wish is to amplify that care in return.

Melanie works as a physical therapist & personal trainer on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at Green Mountain Community Fitness and accepts most insurances for physical therapy.
