Heidi grew up in Great Falls, Montana. She attended Montana State University in Bozeman receiving a B.S in Exercise Science. She then attended University of Montana in Missoula for her doctorate in physical therapy. During her undergraduate and first year of physical therapy school, Heidi split her time between school and competing for the track and field teams at each respective school. Sports, injuries, surgeries and rehabilitation have guided her to study and love physical therapy. 

During Heidi’s education she has had the opportunity to work in a multitude of physical therapy settings. Heidi’s clinical internships included working at Columbia Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy in Portland, OR, with patients recently hospitalized in ICUs to fresh post-operative total joint replacements at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, pediatric population with orthopedic and neurological impairments at Community Medical Center and ending her clinical experiences here at Lake Washington Physical Therapy. Additionally, Heidi spent time in Thailand with four other students and professor sharing academic knowledge on how to integrate eastern medicine with Western medicine, volunteering and assisting in teaching an English cultural class at Chang Mai University. 

Following graduating school, Heidi returned to Great Falls to work for Benefis Hospital. She  worked in acute and transitional care settings where she was working with populations spanning from pediatrics to geriatrics with acute cardiopulmonary, neurological and orthopedic impairments. 

Heidi officially joined the LWPT team in 2014 and has excelled in her professional development and her treatment abilities. In 2017 she picked up both the Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) credential and her Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). Heidi also was certified as a Selective Functional Movement Assessment clinician and received her Certified Functional Strength Coach Certificate. On top of all these professional endeavors Heidi coached Juanita High School Track and Field from 2015-2020. She also helps as part of the medical team there. She left LWPT for 2 years to join the Seattle Sounders as their head physical therapist. While in this position she treated some of the top soccer players in the world and did numerous rehabilitations from career threatening injuries. Heidi traveled with the team and helped manage the rehabilitation facility at the home training center and Lumen field. During this amazing experience Heidi still saw clients in the off-season in Kirkland and also mentored our newer staff members.

Now Heidi has returned to the Kirkland team in clinic treating but has also begun a Return to Play partnership with Arena Sports in Redmond. Heidi can now complete the whole rehab for athletes from injury to full games. This unique opportunity allows our rehabilitating athletes to cut, sprint, shoot, pass, and perform in-depth agility work in a safe and dry field.

Heidi's interests include her dog Saxon, running, hiking, biking, surfing, river rafting, track and field, soccer and almost all outdoor activity. Additionally, she loves traveling all over the world.
