Dr. Shawn Arrington
I am a 56 year old Mom, Daughter, Caregiver, and Friend! ! I am a country girl that was raised in a small town in rural Ohio as an only child....( yes, I know...what a spoiled brat! ) My parents instilled in me a strong work ethic from a early age! I spent my school years active in sports and band ( I was a band geek drummer!) I continued to play volleyball and pitched fast pitch softball, both at the D3 college level. Best times of my life! It was during this time that I felt drawn to healthcare and physical therapy, as I spent so much time in physical therapy torture following three knee surgeries by age 24! After obtaining my B.S. in Education , I pursued a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy, followed by a Doctorate Degree 12 years later in 2010.
Fast forward: Now, definitely getting older, kids are grown, have a new knee, my sports are now golf and pickleball ....AND 28 years in healthcare (20 as a business owner) HOLY COW! I am blessed and grateful to have the experiences and to have been a part of so many successful patient stories!
Starting a Speaking and Health Consulting platform has been a goal of mine for a very long time. I am so excited to connect with clients to help them Rise Anyway, personally and professionally despite life's challenges.
