Her lifelong passion for health and fitness continues to drive her patient-centered approach, helping individuals of all abilities reach their highest potential.
Outside of the clinic, Brittni has trained for and competed in a variety of fitness competitions including bodybuilding competitions and endurance races, gaining extensive experience in strength programming and nutrition for muscle building and recovery. She brings this expertise into her practice to help patients optimize movement, strength, and overall wellness.
Brittni is also a wife to John and proud mom of two—Sabrina (4) and Johnny (19 months)—and enjoys spending her weekends with her family and their dog, staying active and exploring the outdoors together.
