In 2012, I was COO of a rehabilitation company, and we identified a need to become more proactive. I created TRS Wellness to go directly to employers to help employees develop healthier lifestyles, be more productive at work and decrease risk for an on-the-job injury.In 2018, a co-worker/physical therapist and I bought the business from our former employer. Since that time, we have shifted our focus onto more safety, ergonomics and work-readiness offerings.
I've always had a passion for health and wellness and business. Merging the two into the workplace just makes good sense, for both the employees and the employers.
Many companies we work with are Fortune 500, publicly traded entities. Negotiating with Goliath is always a challenge, especially as a woman-owned, Arkansas-based company. It's also an opportunity to remember the value of our services and to not sell ourselves short.
At 14, I started working for Bennett's Nursery in Jonesboro. I learned the value of a work family, importance of customer relationships, how to cover up a farmer’s tan, how to work in Arkansas heat and how to tell when a watermelon is ripe!

Juggling! The day to day challenges, opportunities and distractions of being a small business owner, mom of three busy boys, wife to a dedicated hand surgeon and active board member of three organizations.
I combat stress through physical activity. A good long, solo run through Two Rivers Park is always a good reset for me.
I've really learned the value in listening to others. I'll have to give you two: 1. "Treat others the way you want to be treated" and 2. "Mull on it."
