About Laura

I believe movement is the best investment for lifelong health. My mission is to empower you to move confidently, develop enduring strength, and embrace every stage of life—so you can enjoy daily vitality, independence, and joy. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with more than 20 years of experience in orthopedic rehabilitation, Pilates, movement science, and wellness. I graduated with honors from Boston University and earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based care and whole-person wellness. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working within some of the nation’s most respected healthcare institutions, including Tufts Medical Center, Boston Medical Center, Baptist Health South Florida, and the Miami Cancer Institute. These experiences have allowed me to care for a diverse population of patients, from young athletes to active professionals to individuals recovering from complex health and orthopedic conditions and cancer-related impairments. My passion for helping people move better led me to combine the science of physical therapy with the art of wellness and Pilates. With my concierge practice, you receive what is rare in healthcare: focused time, personalized attention, and a relationship-centered approach so you feel heard, supported, and empowered in every session, all tailored to your goals and priorities. My philosophy is simple: physical therapy is more than rehabilitation after injury—it is your lifelong partnership in movement, strength, prevention, resilience, and healthy aging. By blending hands-on care, Pilates, functional movement, and wellness strategies, I help you not only recover but thrive, so you experience greater freedom and fulfillment in daily life. At Zest Wellness, my goal is simple: to help you move freely, age vibrantly, and live every day with strength, confidence, independence, and spontaneous zest.
