Mandie grew up in the Big Sky country of Bozeman, Montana. This led to her great appreciation of the outdoors. She attended Montana State University for her undergraduate work in Exercise Science. She then attended the University of Montana in Missoula for her masters in physical therapy.
Mandie has a drive to help individuals meet their goals and she is active in the development of a patient’s rehabilitative program. These are many of the same qualities that she trains by to be
successful in her own athletic endeavors. Mandie’s main interests include running, skiing and backpacking. Her accomplishments include Summitting Rainier and Olympus, Completing the "Hood-to-Coast" relay race, and completing the "STP" (Seattle-to-Portland) bike race. Mandie enjoys
running the occasional marathon or half-marathon. She also enjoys skate skiing, telemark skiing and alpine skiing. The summer of 2008 found Mandie taking advantage of the beautiful Northwest by rock climbing in the North Cascades and scuba diving in the Puget Sound.
Professional development continues to be a high priority and Mandie is currently working on NAIOMT Level III manual therapy coursework. She has also taken courses on the Mulligan concept, Movement Systems Dysfunctions and the biomechanics of running. Mandie is an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS). Look for Mandie on the slopes, roads and switchbacks of the Pacific Northwest.
