Hi! I’m Missy.

I’m a movement and pain science educator, entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host, Z-Health Master Trainer Instructor, and the author of Wiley’s forthcoming Chronic Pain For Dummies, All New Edition.

I started as a professional dancer dealing with years of injuries, including four years of chronic knee pain. Then one brain-based session changed my pain and completely changed the direction of my career.

That experience turned into more than 16 years of studying movement, pain, and the nervous system. Today, I help health and wellness professionals assess more intelligently, think beyond protocols, approach complicated cases with confidence, and become the kind of practitioner people remember.

Along the way, I also learned that being great at helping people does not automatically mean you know how to build a sustainable business around it. So now I get to teach both: how to become a better practitioner and how to build a business that supports the life you actually want.

As the Founder of The Movement Mentality LLC and Co-Founder of Movement IQ, my work is rooted in one belief:

Success should create freedom, not simply more work.

I’m a wife, mom of three, former professional dancer, business owner, and lifelong movement nerd who still gets wildly excited when one tiny nervous-system input creates a huge change.

You are capable of becoming exceptionally good at your craft, and you are allowed to build a life that is just as good as the work you do.
