Athlete, educator, and the clinician who will teach you what is actually happening in your body.

Before becoming a physical therapist, Dominica was a teacher and a basketball coach. It shows in her clinical work. Her patients leave each visit understanding their bodies better than when they walked in — and that understanding becomes the foundation of lasting change.

Dominica earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Hunter College in New York City, after studying philosophy and psychology at the University of Scranton and completing a year of service teaching and coaching in Harlem. A lifelong athlete with her own history of sports injuries, she brings both clinical rigor and personal experience to her work. She has completed extensive coursework in Functional Manual Therapy through the Institute of Physical Art. She has also trained in DNS through the Prague School of Rehabilitation and has taken course work in pelvic health through Herman & Wallace.
