Meet your Therapist
Hi, I’m Dr. Megan Ehrmann, a Pediatric Physical Therapist and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. I graduated from Shenandoah University in 2014 with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy and have been practicing in pediatrics ever since. My experience spans outpatient and inpatient settings as well as the NICU, allowing me to support infants and families with a wide range of needs and backgrounds.
As a mom of three, my professional path became deeply personal after experiencing differing feeding and airway challenges with each of my children. I found myself struggling to find support that truly addressed all of my concerns and took a whole-body approach. That experience led me to explore the important role physical therapy and gross motor skill development can play in feeding, oral, and airway function, and ultimately inspired my career path.
Outside of work, I’m a busy mom who loves building Magnatile masterpieces, playing baby dolls, creating art projects, and embracing muddy adventures with my kids. In my free time, you’ll often find me out for a run, on a bike ride, or searching for my next favorite coffee shop.
