Carly has been in the health and wellness industry for over 18 years. She has lived solely in the Pacific Northwest for over 8 years. During this time she has honed her skills as an intuitive healthcare practitioner. She has always had a holistic approach to wellness, thinking outside the box, challenging treatment norms and looking beyond the location of pain to figure out the source. Only by finding the source can clients truly heal. She has flourished in an environment with like-minded professionals who don’t dismiss differences in how clients’ bodies present, but approach them head on.
Having been both a patient and provider in the healthcare system, Carly has seen the pitfalls, patients falling between the cracks from not being ‘textbook’, being dismissed for multi-system issues, not being listened to, not approaching patients with a whole body approach, and the list goes on.
Since being in the PNW, her skills have grown through experience, but also investing in her skillset. In addition to being a doctor of physical therapy and an exercise physiologist, she is also a certified breath coach, a certified STOTT Pilates instructor, Rehab trained in STOTT Pilates, a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and a Pelvis Pro Expert.
Carly has seen personally and professionally the benefit of whole body wellness and is now bringing it to her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Combining all her knowledge and skillset, she is here to offer her clients a blend of all her experiences. She’s excited to announce CRC PILATES.
Pilates has been instrumental in her own healthcare journey. The combination of pilates and physical therapy was the key towards her recovery 2 years ago, after some major health challenges.
Through pilates, clients will learn to:
properly use their core
restore and gain mobility, flexibility & strength
reduce and resolve pain
allow themselves to live a more fulfilling life
Carly wants you to be able to do all the things you want to do with increased ease and enjoyment because you’re worth it! :)
