Philosophy

Abby prioritizes integrating all aspects of health in her treatment of the individual, including musculoskeletal factors, nutrition, stress, sleep, and prior healthcare related experiences. While rooted in evidence-based practice, listening to her patients allows Abby to know how to best serve them.

Abby recently returned to Leonardtown after a 7.5-year stint in Minnesota, and is currently enjoying the (relatively) warmer weather, spending time with her family, and going on walks with her family. She enjoys being active with running and Peloton, and trying new foods, whether that means going to a new restaurant or attempting a new recipe.
