About Melanie

Melanie grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and knew from an early age that physical therapy was her calling.

She attended UNC-CH for her BA in Exercise Science followed by a Masters in Physical Therapy. She is thankful for the opportunity to serve as a founding partner for Village Physical Therapy and enjoys her career, meeting rehabilitation needs in Holly Springs and surrounding areas.

She owes her success in large part to her supportive husband (Fuquay native and retired police sergeant). Melanie participates weekly in reformer training at Encore Pilates. She also enjoys spending time with her three teenagers and their athletic pursuits in baseball, softball, and tennis.

She enjoys serving as a community resource for baseball/softball players and working with individuals with vestibular dysfunction. She truly cares about the health and well-being of her patients and strives to make a positive impact.
