A team invested in how you move.

Alexis was drawn to physical therapy after navigating sports injuries in middle school. A high-school career-shadowing experience showed her how physical therapy can change what is possible in a person’s life, and she chose a profession that would let her know patients well and collaborate toward meaningful goals.

Originally from Overland Park, Alexis earned her physical therapy degree from Rockhurst University. She enjoys working with a wide range of patients, with particular interest in active individuals, athletic backgrounds, and the milestones involved in post-operative rehabilitation.

Outside the clinic, Alexis enjoys golf with her family, exploring Kansas City coffee shops and parks, attending concerts, and volunteering with Mission Adelante.

Lauren’s interest in athletics and the human body led her to physical therapy—a field that combines continual learning, varied clinical challenges, creative problem-solving, and meaningful patient relationships.

A native of Leawood, Lauren earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Rockhurst University. She enjoys caring for people of all ages and backgrounds and has particular interest in youth populations, knee injuries, and runners working to improve performance.

Lauren stays active through running, yoga, weightlifting, basketball, and pickleball. She is also learning golf and enjoys cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kacie’s path to physical therapy began with a shoulder injury that threatened her swimming career. A dedicated physical therapist helped her return to the pool and compete successfully at the state level. That experience inspired her to help other people pursue activities that matter to them.

Kacie is from Olathe and completed physical therapy school at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She enjoys working across injury types and collaborating with people who are motivated to pursue their potential, wherever they are starting.

Away from work, Kacie enjoys running, paddleboarding, triathlon training, and pickleball.

Michelle joined CORE after more than 35 years of working with patients in neurology. She chose a private-practice setting because it allows a different level of connection, and she values building relationships while helping people find the care they need.
