Our Staff

Mary Beth has been a physical therapist for over 30 years. She graduated from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio in 1994 and spent the first few years of her career traveling the United States providing relief staff for therapy clinics in need. In 1998 she settled In Randolph County and has provided therapy services in a variety of settings throughout the area, including outpatient orthopedics, skilled nursing, and home care. Mary Beth spent 3 years as an orthopedic service line manager where she worked directly with orthopedic surgeons on protocols that involved every piece of the orthopedic experience. This included the operating room, physician offices, rehabilitation, and the emergency department. After spending time in many clinics Mary Beth decided that the people of Randolph County deserved a different type of therapy experience.

“I’ve been a patient several times in my life. I know how important it is to be comfortable with your therapist and with your therapy environment. I wanted to be able to show patients that therapy can be enjoyable and fun. I am determined to provide an atmosphere that allows every patient to leave our clinic feeling better than they did when they walked in both emotionally and physically”.

In her spare time, Mary Beth enjoys spending time with her friends and family in both Ohio and North Carolina. She enjoys traveling, reading, and hanging with her three furry children, River, Ryder and Cletus.

Ashley has been a physical therapist assistant for 18 years. She graduated from the PTA program at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, NC in 2005. She has provided therapy services in multiple settings, including inpatient acute care, outpatient orthopedics, home health, and independent living facilities. Ashley joined Pro-PT in 2015 and loves treating in the outpatient setting, which is her favorite because of the wide range of diagnoses and ages she gets to treat.

“I always knew that I wanted to have a job where I could help people, and that is definitely true in the physical therapy profession! However, it runs much deeper than that, our clinic is so small and intimate, that we are able to form relationships with our patients.
I feel as though I have an extended family through my fellow teammates, but also through every patient that walks in the door. I hope that my patients are able to learn as much from me as I do from them.”

In her spare time, Ashley enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is married to her high school sweetheart, Eric, and together they have two children, Jaycie and Davis. She loves Jesus, her church, dancing, music, working out, and spending time at the beach!

Sarah began her career as a Physical Therapist Assistant in early 2022, a graduate of the PTA program at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, NC. When in school she attended clinical rotations in outpatient orthopedic and neurologist settings, as well as acute care in the ICU. She joined Pro-PT and quickly felt at home with the comfortable and close knit community that it provided, both between employees as well as with patients.

"Although I have not been a PTA for a lengthy amount of time, I felt since early high school that this was a career path for me. I was an employee of Pro-PT when I was a student at Guilford College, working in the office, and I always knew that if I was provided the opportunity I would return to Pro-PT as a PTA. I enjoy coming to work and challenging my patients while still making it an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. I have learned so much over the past 2 years and my patients and coworkers have helped shape me into the PTA and person I am today!"

In her spare time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband Caleb, and her two dogs, Charlie and Maverick. She also enjoys exercising, traveling and eating good food!

I hear how our patients love coming to therapy but the four-legged therapy is what makes it fun. I have seen therapy dogs working in the past and knew they were important but when they're not here—the environment is different. We all have a part to play and I'm glad to be a part of this amazing team!"
