Kristie earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from Pacific University of Oregon in 2011. She spent the first 9 years of her career working in Washington state in orthopedic and sports medicine settings before moving to Montana. She enjoys working with clients of all activity levels from high level athletes who want to be at the top of their game to individuals who are struggling to be able to do daily activities.

In 2017, Kristie became a board-certified Specialist in Orthopedics. Then in 2018, she completed her post graduate fellowship in manual therapy through the North American Institute of Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) and is now a Fellow with the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT). 

Kristie enjoys teaching as well. She loves to help clients understand what is non-optimal in their body contributing to their symptoms and what they can do about it in order to heal, reduce pain, restore strength, and improve their performance. She has also been an instructor in both post graduate residency and fellowship programs mentoring other physical therapists.

Outside of work, Kristie enjoys running, hiking, and photography spending as much time outdoors as possible.
