Retirement Announcement

The Dolphins made me do it ;)

 

Happy Summer Everyone! As promised, I am checking in after my recent 2 weeks spent in Freeport, Grand Bahama learning and acting as a support therapist for a DATIP - Dolphin Accompanied CranioSacral Therapy Integrative Program. While it was not "easy" work, it was an incredible privilege to be welcomed into the Integrative Intentions International Community. Plans were made to stay at least a month next summer. This lead me to a moment of clarity and an announcement.....

 

Blame it on the dolphins or Jupiter or the "Empty Nest" (but most likely my first grandchild): It is time to wrap up my days as a multi-site clinic owner and practicing pelvic PT. I have decided to close Vitality Physical Therapy, LLC in November 2026 in exchange for more schedule flexibility. There will be additional information shared as it comes together. We will work with great care to ensure every patient that has been seen within 1 year following their clinic encounter has a transition plan.

 

Typically a person would not chose to step away from a thriving private practice with the BEST PATIENTS IN THE WORLD. But you know I've never done anything "typical". I fully intend to submerge myself into the MANY women's health and passion projects that have been on my mind for years. Most require longer blocks of time for research, writing, reflection and exploration not possible with my current clinical commitments. So don't count me out just yet. I'm talking to you midwives and wise women everywhere.

 

Enough on that for now.
