Bio
Laurel grew up in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and was involved in soccer, Irish dance, cheerleading, and track and cross country. She became interested in the field of Physical Therapy when she began cross country and saw her injured friends come back healed and running again with good words about their physical therapists. Laurel began her education at Auburn University, where she ran for the Track and Cross Country team during her freshman year. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and went on to receive her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from University of St. Augustine.
Over the last few years, Laurel has developed a deep love for treating those who have general gait and balance impairments, as well as treating patients who have Parkinson’s Disease, after working at a PWR! Moves gym for Parkinson’s rehabilitation during her last clinical rotation. Laurel also developed an interest and passion for vestibular therapy and the rehabilitation for dizzy patients and has since received her certification as a Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist in 2025. While Laurel loves both balance and vestibular rehabilitation, she also has a constant love for treatment of the lower extremity, such as hip, knee, and ankle injuries after her many years of participation in sports, dealing with these types of injuries.
When Laurel is not at work, she enjoys adventuring and spending time with her husband, as well as exploring different Atlanta restaurants and fun places around town. She loves running, travelling, antiquing, and hanging out with friends and family. Laurel’s faith is also important to her, and she enjoys spending time at her church, Christ Covenant, and volunteering with the kids and welcome ministry.
