Hi, I'm Dr. Sam PT, DPT! 

A physical therapist turned women's health coach.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sam! As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I’ve spent years helping people recover and rebuild their strength.

But as I worked with high-achieving women—women who were strong, capable, and driven—I started to see a troubling pattern. They were constantly on the go, putting their careers and families first while their own health took a backseat. I realized that the traditional healthcare model wasn’t serving them; it focused on quick fixes and reactive care, when what they needed was proactive, lasting support. I knew there had to be a better way to help these women feel empowered, energized, and truly in control of their well-being.

That’s what led me to create the Elite Woman Project. I believe in making wellness accessible and sustainable for busy women who deserve to feel as powerful in their bodies as they do in their careers. I believe health should fit your life, not overwhelm it. Through my coaching, I’m here to offer a blend of expertise, support, and guidance to help you transform your body and mind without the stress or burnout. I’m so glad you’re here—thank you for joining me on this journey. You’re not alone in this, and I’m excited to help you step into your strongest, most balanced self!

It All Started When I Realized Traditional Healthcare is Broken...

It all started when I noticed a troubling pattern in my work as a physical therapist. I was treating so many high-achieving women—driven professionals, leaders, moms—who came to me after years of putting their health last. They were exhausted, burnt out, and dealing with injuries or chronic pain that had been building for years. They felt disconnected from their bodies, frustrated that they couldn’t just “push through” anymore, and were struggling to find a solution that fit their demanding lives.

As I worked with them, I felt frustrated, too. I was treating symptoms without addressing the root cause. They needed more than temporary relief—they needed a proactive, sustainable approach to wellness that considered their whole lives, not just their physical symptoms. I realized that the traditional healthcare model wasn’t designed to support women like them. These women didn’t need another quick fix or a routine that added more stress; they needed a way to regain control over their health without compromising everything else they worked so hard for.

That’s when I knew I had to make a change. I decided to create the Elite Woman Project to help women like them (and like me) transform their lives from the inside out, with personalized support, sustainable wellness habits, and a focus on reclaiming energy and confidence. I wanted to be the resource I wish they’d had all along. And now, I’m here to help you break free from burnout, embrace your health, and step fully into the vibrant, balanced life you deserve.

But Then Everything Changed...

But then everything changed when I realized I was only helping my clients get temporary relief instead of real, lasting change. I hit a low point when I saw that these incredible women—who were juggling so much and showing up for everyone else—were forced into a cycle of burnout and injury. I knew they deserved better, and I couldn’t keep offering quick fixes that wouldn’t prevent the same issues from reappearing down the road.

The catalyst came during a session with a client who broke down, sharing how frustrated she was at always feeling drained, hurt, and out of control. I knew I couldn’t just treat the symptoms anymore; I had to create a new approach that supported their whole lives, addressing their unique needs as busy, ambitious women. I immersed myself in wellness coaching, proactive health solutions, and the best practices for building sustainable, healthy habits that could truly fit into demanding lives.
