ABOUT ON THE 8

My mission with On The 8 is to provide to guidance, care, and education that will help each individual dancer become the best version of themselves. This is done through an online medium to reach as many dancers as possible around the globe.

My reason for becoming a physical therapist started with my own goal of staying healthy enough to keep breaking for as long as I can. When I was a teenager, a back injury forced me to stop training. I thought complete rest was the answer, so I took three months off, waiting for it to get better, but it didn’t. It wasn’t until my former swim coach, who was also a physical therapist, encouraged me to start exercising again that I began to truly recover and return to dancing.

That experience opened my eyes to how much misinformation exists about pain and recovery. Now, I’m driven to help others avoid the same mistakes by empowering them with the right knowledge, challenging outdated beliefs, and guiding them to move with confidence again.
