Hi, I'm Dr. Chrissy. I am a physical therapist, personal trainer, triathlon coach, and dance/cheer coach. I began dancing on the drill team in middle school and continued through high school and college. In college I was part of the Illini competitive dance team at University of Illinois in Champaign. After college I was honored to be a Luvabull cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls for two seasons.
My dance and cheer experience awakened my passion for fitness and I began running triathlons. I completed my first triathlon in 2009 and have since completed 9 Ironman races as well as countless half ironman, Olympic, and sprint distance races. Through many years of training, injuries, and work with some amazing physical therapists, I realized that I was fascinated with how the body worked! This drove me to my next love, physical therapy.
Today, I want to be the one to help YOU cross that finish line, surpass your goals, and ignite your passion! I want you to get stronger, effectively and efficiently, so that you AVOID injury and can do your activities to your FULLEST POTENTIAL.
Personally, I am engaged to Justin and I have a puppu black lab named Harley. When I'm not running or training I love to read and binge TV shows.
