Alex grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa. After graduating from Cedar Falls High School in 2013, she attended Iowa State University where she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health in 2017. She then attended Des Moines University where she earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2020. She specializes in guiding women through the journey of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and early infant care. During pregnancy, she works with individuals to manage discomfort, prevent injury, and prepare their body for childbirth.
After delivery, she offers tailored postpartum corrective exercise plans designed to restore core strength, pelvic health, and overall function- helping patients to return to their daily activities with comfort. She also has a love for treating pediatric patients and supporting them both pre-and post- tongue and/or lip tie revisions. She works closely with families, lactation consultants, and pediatric dentists to optimize outcomes for children experiencing tethered oral tissues. In addition to her treatment of oral motor dysfunction, she provides therapeutic services for infants diagnosed with torticollis and plagiocephaly. She integrates hands-on therapy, developmental support, and family education to improve neck range of motion, head symmetry, and overall motor development. Alex strives to provide the best care for moms and their babies through this transitional period in their lives.
Alex and her husband recently built a house in Waukee and have a 10- month-old daughter, Aspen.
