Taylor – Physical Therapist
Taylor graduated from Marquette University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2001 and a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy in 2003.
“Working in both inpatient and outpatient therapy settings, I find her passion in outpatient orthopedics. Being able to give patients the tools they need to take control of their pain and get back to their life is one of my greatest joys.”
Taylor has been working at Virtuous Wellness Center since the fall of 2022 where you can rest assured you will be treated with care and your concerns addressed to help you recover from injury, relieve pain and discomfort and return to the activities you love. One of Taylor’s favorite activities is shuffling her three kids to the activities they love, and they keep her on her toes!
Jennifer – Physical Therapy Assistant
Jennifer is a graduate of Anne Arundel Community College Physical Therapist Assistant program, having grown up in Alaska and graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy where she met my husband of 30+ years.
“I came to be a physical therapist assistant as a second career. I was a high school basketball coach and became more interested in helping the players return to sport after injury. I finally decided that physical therapy was the field that I was meant to be in after my father fell and broke his ankle. The treating PT working with my father gave me the inspiration to return to school. He showed a great capacity for compassion and empathy for his patients, and I strive to achieve the same compassion and empathy every day that he demonstrated with my dad.”
As a Physical Therapist Assistant, Jennifer’s goal is to help patients to return to their lifestyle: not just work, but the little things that make a difference in their lives. Jennifer loves working with a variety of patients and believes in patient-centered care that focuses on each patient’s experience, unique needs, and patient input allowing for treatment plans tailored to their specific condition, goals, and lifestyle.
As a veteran and veteran’s spouse, she loves spending time with her adult family playing games or traveling. Jennifer has two velcro cats that must be in her lap every time she sits and enjoys being on the water, hiking, reading, making stained glass and crocheting.
Kyra – Physical Therapy Technician
As a Physical Therapy Technician, Kyra brings both compassion and strategy to patient care. Graduating in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Art degree in Kinesiology, she has been with Virtuous Wellness Center since September of 2024.
“I love being a PT tech because the human body is both fascinating and incredibly resilient. The most rewarding part of my job is teaching patients how to take control of their recovery using simple, accessible techniques. I love to see the progress each and every patient makes from when we first started treating them to when they are discharged.”
Helping people heal through hands-on care and education is powerful, and being a part of that journey reminds me daily why I chose this path. Outside of work, Kyra loves to take long walks and spend quality time with her family who keep her grounded and motivated in everything she does.

She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Howard University, and after years as an Office Manager and Administrative Supervisor, she sought a career change and pursued certification at the former Baltimore School of Massage.
“I do not take lightly the vulnerability experienced by each client on the massage table. To that end, I strive to create a trusted space where every client feels relaxed and cared for. Having a special affinity for the military — especially veterans — I see my work with Virtuous Wellness Center and Amy as a dream come true.”

Fulfilling her desire to teach parents and caregivers how to bond physically and emotionally with their newborns, Karen supports monthly classes to pregnant women and new parents with newborns in her community.

Occupational tHERAPY
Regina – Licensed Occupational Therapist
I am a dedicated Occupational Therapist (OT) with over 15 years of experience in providing comprehensive care and support to individuals with physical, cognitive and developmental disabilities. I have expertise in designing and implementing personalized treatment plans to adapt environments to meet clients’ unique needs. My background includes extensive experience in the SNF/LTC setting with emphasis on stroke recovery and rehabilitation for the hand/upper quarter as well as PAMS certification. I also have experience in outpatient services, post-acute care, and most recently, school-based OT services.
A little known fact about me is that I originally wanted to become a Chemical Engineer but quickly realized I loved people more than test tubes. My choice to become an Occupational Therapist was born out of shadowing a hand therapist and witnessing how she was able to help people solve and overcome physical challenges in a practical and wholistic way, under the scope of the medical field. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my kids/family, exploring new restaurants and listening to all kinds of music. My greatest secret hobby is that I love to bake. It’s like a fun science experiment that you can eat when you’re done!
Colleen – Licensed Occupational Therapist Assistant
Colleen began her career as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in 2007 after discovering her passion for helping others through a chance encounter with a therapist during a treatment session. Originally an art student, she quickly realized that occupational therapy combined her creativity with her desire to make a real difference in people’s lives. Nearly two decades later, she still feels grateful to be doing what she loves—helping others live healthier, happier, and more independent lives.
What Colleen enjoys most about her work is seeing her patients return to share how well they are doing. Watching them regain strength, confidence, and independence brings her immense joy and reminds her why she chose this profession. She believes everyone deserves the opportunity to be pain free and functionally independent.
Outside of the clinic, Colleen loves painting with gouache and watercolor, cheering for her son on the baseball field, traveling with her family, and spending time with her goofy dog, Lucy.
She deeply values collaboration and the opportunity to learn from others in her field. Over the years, she has worked alongside amazing PTs, OTs, and SLPs who share her commitment to patient recovery and care. For Colleen, being part of a compassionate, dedicated team is one of the most fulfilling parts of her career.

Front Desk & Admin
Belinda – Patient Accounts Representative
Originally from Australia, with an accent that’s a quirky blend of British elegance and Aussie charm, Belinda has called the United States home for almost 5 years. With a background of over 30 years customer facing business experience, she thrives on welcoming people to this amazing business and supporting them through their journey to wellness.
“I can’t help but to smile as for 2 years now I’ve been the face that patients first see when they walk through Virtuous Wellness Centers door, and the voice that greets them when they call. It’s not just a job- it’s a privilege. Every day I get to play a significant role in helping people get better and ensuring their experience here is as smooth and uplifting as possible whether it is guiding them through their administrative processes or simply a warm smile of encouragement.”
Belinda enjoys time spend with family and friends, as well as chasing after 2 relatively well-behaved dogs.
Liz – Billing and Accounts Specialist
Liz is our dedicated Billing and Accounts Specialist who has been with VWC for over 5 years. With a deep passion for her work, she loves how it allows her to make a difference in the lives of both patients and healthcare providers.
“One of the things I love most about my job is knowing that we help keep the business open. I take pride in playing a key role in ensuring that healthcare services are accessible to those in need. My work allows others to focus on providing care while I handle the financial side of things with integrity and professionalism.”
Another aspect Liz truly enjoys is helping patients navigate the often-overwhelming world of insurance.

Liz and Virtuous Wellness understand how confusing and frustrating it can be for patients, so she feel a strong sense of fulfillment when she is able to guide patients through the process and resolve issues on their behalf.
Outside of work, Liz is a proud mother of three wonderful children and a huge animal lover, sharing her home with five beloved pets. Balancing family and work is a challenge she embraces every day, and it’s this commitment to both her loved ones and her career that keeps her motivated.
