She has a strong interest in nutrition through a plant-based diet and its positive impact on health and quality of life. Lori first became interested in the healthcare field when she was very young and was curious how the body worked and why people got sick or felt pain. She found physical therapy to be a rewarding field as she has the opportunity to teach people why they have pain, what they can do to feel better, and how they can prevent pain in the future.
