Hi, I'm Maddie, the founder of Manual Movement Therapy. Ever felt the wonder of your body's inherent ability to recalibrate and heal?

Blending my skills as a Licensed Massage Therapist with my expertise as a Certified Personal Trainer, I've designed a distinctive healing approach. While what I offer might not be “magic”, I guide you in unlocking that innate potential. Drawing from my dual expertise as a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer, I've dedicated over a decade to honing an approach that understands the body's cues – think of it as fine-tuning a marionette puppet. My journey battling an autoimmune disease has gifted me unparalleled insights into exercise, massage, and pain management. After years of refining, I've crafted an approach merging movement and touch, designed to tackle both acute and chronic pain. This isn't just my method; it's my personal path to healing. Ready to adapt and evolve with your body?

My favorite sound lately 🫶✨

Back to work. Different body. Deeper purpose.

There’s something tender about returning to your passion after your body has created life. Working with people to understand their pain, their bodies, and what healing can actually feel like has always mattered to me—but experiencing pregnancy and postpartum in my own body changed everything. I now understand, on a cellular level, the limitations, adaptations, and resilience required when you bring a child into the world. And because of that, I feel more equipped than ever to support women through this season. Motherhood didn’t pull me away from my work—it deepened how I show up for it.
If you’re in a transitional chapter—postpartum, healing, navigating pain, or reconnecting to your body—I’m your girl. I’d love to work with you. Here’s to the next chapter ✨

The year I became a Mom 🤰💕✨ #2025

4 months with our Eloise. Our perfect baby is sleeping through the night, waking up with laughs and smiles, and loves taking in NYC. Everyday gets better and better. We’re so amazed she picked us to be her parents 🥰✨

👋 I’m a mom.
It’s taken me a few months to find words for it all, but reflection feels important.

The fourth trimester is intense, transformative, and multifaceted-
Physically: healing and adapting.
Mentally: learning and reorienting.
Emotionally: processing joy, grief, and attachment.
Spiritually: finding meaning, connection, and presence.

I’ve given myself permission to feel messy, exhausted, joyful, anxious, and grateful all at once. Support, rest, and self-compassion have been my anchors.

I’ve felt everything from deep joy to heavy sadness and anxiety but with support, I’ve learned I’m not alone. Life lately has been about navigating this brand-new everyday life that’s only been mine for three months.

I still find it wild that you go through surgery, then go home to care for a baby and, if you’re willing, keep that baby alive with your own body. How could it not be hard? But hard is something women know how to do. This process has made me appreciate being a woman more than ever and be in awe of the mothers who walk beside me.

As for my transitioning body, I’ve learned to give myself grace - grace for not seeing changes, grace for breastfeeding, and grace not to compare. I read, “Think of your body like a house under renovation — every part is adjusting and needs care.” I love that. A demolition has occurred, and rebuilding takes time. Eventually, the house will feel like home again.

As a manual therapist, I’ve never felt more foreign in my skin yet more attuned to its whispers. I’m learning to listen.

You’re not lost.
You’re just standing in the space between who you were and who you’re becoming.

I’m cherishing this sacred in-between. I’m a woman. I’m a mom. There’s nothing I can’t do. 🤍

3 months with our Ellie girl! Constant chatting, spit bubbles, and morning smiles are now the norm. Our little girl is thriving and she’s teaching us something new everyday 💕✨

My mother-in-law, Ellen, was the warmest, kindest, most compassionate, and loving woman I’ve ever known. From the moment I met her, she welcomed me into the family with open arms and an open heart. Through her, I learned the true beauty of caring — not just in words, but in the way she lived every single day.

Ellen homeschooled four incredible children, shaping them into the thoughtful, grounded, and loving adults they are today. She created the love of my life, and I will forever be in awe of the grace, patience, and strength she carried as a wife, mother, and friend.

Alzheimer’s may have taken her far too soon, but her light and love will never fade. I see her in every smile from Ellie, in every act of kindness, in every quiet moment of love shared within our family. Her memory will forever be a blessing — a reminder of how deeply one person’s heart can touch the world.

Rest peacefully, sweet Ellen. You are so loved, and your love will live on in all of us.🤍 🕊️
