She graduated from College of Western Idaho with her Occupational Therapy Assistant degree and has become a licensed COTA/L. Shaynee is very passionate about helping others restore function and participate in their enjoyed hobbies again despite the obstacles.

Joss began coming to our clinic after experiencing a life-altering work accident, giving her a deep, personal understanding of what it means to truly need a listening ear. She connects easily with patients and meets them with empathy, compassion, and real-life perspective.
 

Certified as an Insurance and Billing Specialist in 2025, Joss is dedicated to keeping the business running like a well-oiled machine-much like her favorite football team, Alabama.
 

Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence help ensure smooth operations behind the scenes.

On the weekends, you'll find Joss whipping up something delicious on her Trager, relaxing with her fur kids-Akha, Dobbson, and Echo—or heading out on an adventure with her best friend, Kate. 

Grit is in charge of greeting customers. She loves treats. Seeing the UPS man is her favorite part of the day!

Wheezy is in charge of receiving and filing complaints, though we hope you won't have any!
