PT, DPT, CSCS

CEO and Founder


Evelyn comes to Motiv8 PT with 21 years of real-world experience. She began her career in 2002, working at Lenox Hill Hospital, where she developed her strong medical foundation and was quickly promoted to Director of Physical Therapy. In 2010, Evelyn was selected by a group of doctors from New York Neurological Associates to start up a new outpatient physical therapy practice. After successfully spearheading Spectrum Physical Therapy, Evelyn proceeded to tackle her next life goal, founding her own physical therapy clinic...Motiv8 PT!


Evelyn's grit and determination also crosses over into her personal life. An athlete all her life, in 2014 she decided to challenge herself and took up powerlifting. Since that time, she’s competed in multiple powerlifting competitions. Having experienced setbacks of her own due to injury, Evelyn rehabilitated herself and in March 2019 went on to take the gold in the 84kg open weight class totaling 798.7lbs - Squat 303lbs, Bench 165.2lbs and Deadlift 330.5lbs. Now Evelyn wants to bring her expertise to others, who like her, demand the most out of their bodies and out of life!
