Meet the Business Owner: Holly H.
Graduating from Wake Forest with a BS in Health and Exercise Science, Holly returned to her hometown of Nashville, TN to study a variety of healing modalities at the Natural Health Institute and began her own practice as a massage therapist. Excited to expand her knowledge, she chose to pursue her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Pacific University and moved to Portland. Holly graduated at the top of her PT class in 2006 with a specialty in orthopedics. She practiced within her own clinic in Portland for near a decade while slowly transitioning her home to beautiful land in the Columbia Gorge.
Holly describes her practice as holistic physical therapy ~ using hands-on techniques and therapeutic exercise to bring body awareness and balance to patients with pain or physical limitations.
Holly embodies a calm positive strength as she aims to help her clients achieve wellness with skilled ongoing assessments and a customized program for each patient.
