About Impetus Movement and Rehab

Bio

Hi, I'm Dr. Meghan! I am a physical therapist, certified athletic trainer, and strength and conditioning coach with 10+ years experience working in the performance, preventative, and rehabilitative settings. As women, we are under-educated on our bodies and under-supported postpartum, and I want to be a part of the solution. I have a passion for empowering women to feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies, especially at a time where there are so many changes and new demands!

Q&A

Q: What are your certifications and trainings?

A: I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (PT, DPT), Board-Certified Athletic Trainer (BOC ATC), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA CSCS), Precision Nutrition Certified Sports Nutrition Coach (Pn1), and am trained by the Institute for Clinical Excellence on management of the pregnant and postpartum fitness athlete.

Q: What locations or areas do you serve?

A: I work with clients both in-person and online! In-person I see clients out of Iron Temple Gym in Puyallup, Washington. Virtually I work with clients across the globe both in live time and asynchronously. I currently do not do in-home visits, but hope to implement that as an option soon, as I understand a barrier to care for many is time!

Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

A: I believe being a parent is the greatest calling we can have as human beings. Mothers especially have so much demand on their mind, body, and soul to keep a little human alive! As a physio, I believe exercise is medicine and can be a powerful tool to not only prevent and heal physical pain and disability, but depression and emotional pain as well.

Q: What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?

A: The demands on your body and mind are going to be astronomically high pretty soon! Lean into your village, and remember that you cannot pour from an empty cup. It's ok to ask for help as you navigate this beautiful, challenging, and rewarding journey!
