The Bridging Institute® Team
We are movement and development specialists who have taken the journey to become Bridging® specialists because we love helping people achieve more.
Our greatest strengths as a team:
Diverse Backgrounds.
Our team members have backgrounds in occupational therapy, medical exercise and personal training, therapeutic services, and physical therapy, both for adults and pediatrics. We apply these diverse backgrounds to a client’s problem or challenge, looking at it from several different lenses, to identify the root cause of the issue and the treatment needed to get the body back to its natural kinetic movements.
Drive to help other people.
Every single one of our team members is a caregiver and passionate about helping other people. In our offices you will find empathy, support, and great customer care. We feel the best when we can help frustrated people find relief. We want to make a huge difference in your life.
Empathy.
All of our team members had personal motivations that encouraged them to explore Bridging. We have all been the:
- anxious parent who isn’t sure how to help her child next whether as an infant or teenager;
- fearful individual who is tired of being tired and in pain with no apparent causes;
- one concerned that their parent struggles to do what used to come easily.
Our team has walked in your shoes. We meet you at the point you are at in your journey and support you/your family to a more functional place.
Insatiable drive to find out how and why the human body works.
After each of us was exposed to Bridging and had experienced the incredible results first hand, we all had the same idea. “I want to learn more. I want to learn why this treatment is so successful where others are not.”
We thrive on solving puzzles.
We get excited about doing a deep dive investigation into why a client is not functioning correctly. We take the time to get to know your history to thoroughly understand your situation and develop a session plan.
These drives and strengths back our passion to help people of all ages to ease pain, meet developmental milestones, and get back on track to fully living their life. The most amazing part of our day is watching children master new skills, every age find a new sense of calm, and adults move again with ease and confidence. We look forward to helping solve your development or movement challenge!
