pEYTON fISHER
ADMIN + CLIENT HAPPINESS OFFICER
Peyton is a former medical social worker turned full-time toddler wrangler. She received her master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California in 2017, where she developed a passion for helping people continually improve their physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being so that they may continue doing (or find a way back to) all of the things they love and that bring meaning to their lives. She deeply believes in building communities that help individuals pour into themselves and that the world is strengthened by encouraging people to care for themselves holistically. Her work is rooted in the chronic illness community, but after becoming a mother herself, has evolved to have a special focus on women’s health.
Her job at Empower Physical Therapy is to help individuals get the help they need by connecting them with a pelvic floor therapist at Empower, build community by reaching out to local business that are also passionate about women’s health, and provide support to the therapists at Empower through schedule management.
In her free time, you’ll likely find Peyton out in her garden, caked in mud and with a kid on her hip. She loves the beach, her Peloton, and her husband and two littles who make every day a lot more fun (and a little more chaotic).
If you have general questions about Empower Physical Therapy, please reach out to Peyton!
