Dr. Rachel Neathery, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist, Wellness Coach

Rachel’s physical therapy journey started when she became a physical therapy tech at an outpatient practice. She loved that people’s lives were being changed through exercise and she played a part in their healing stories. As part of her undergraduate capstone project, she worked with physical therapists in Kenya and Poland to distribute wheelchairs to those without and her love for therapy increased. After graduating from PT school in 2014, she began working in an acute rehab setting and later transitioned to outpatient therapy.

Some of her favorite times have been when she can bridge physical therapy and gym life. She wants all of her patients to discharge from physical therapy to find an exercise they love with the knowledge of how to perform it safely. She has taught gym workshops focused on educating personal trainers about safe lifting and medical considerations. She loves seeing her past patients of all ages transition back to fitness classes, the gym, or their choice of movement. Her two recent pregnancies, one with twins, are what opened her eyes to the importance of pelvic floor therapy for women. Her own personal rehabilitation and hearing of her other momma friend’s issues stirred a great passion to help educate women and help them get back to daily functional tasks and do the things they love without pain and leakage.

Medea Taylor, LMT, CPT

Certified Menopause Coach

Medea Taylor is a licensed massage therapist with 10 years of experience, a certified personal trainer, and a certified menopause coach. With over 15 years of training alongside a personal trainer herself, she brings both professional expertise and personal experience to her work. After completing her menopause coaching certification last year, she expanded her practice further by earning her personal training certification in March of this year.

Medea is passionate about helping women understand their bodies and regain confidence during the perimenopause and menopause transition. She believes in meeting women where they are each day, empowering them to stay strong, active, and independent so they can enjoy this stage of life fully and on their own terms.

Outside of her professional life, Medea is married with two adult daughters and five grandchildren ranging from ages two to twelve. She enjoys good food and wine, hiking, reading, and knitting—all of which fuel her belief that wellness is about balance, joy, and living life to the fullest.
