Shaina is the founder and owner of Breakaway Physical Therapy. Shaina is an Ironman Triathlete, who uses her exercise time to think and clear her mind.
Shaina graduated from Towson University with a Bachelors in Chemistry and went on to get her DPT from University of Maryland, Baltimore. She started treating the pelvic floor population after having kids and seeing the amazing changes men, women and children can have in their life.
Her favorite activity is swimming and snowboarding, which led her to her career choice many years ago. She is a mother of four- Mason, Emma, Addison and Finley. She loves to spend time with her kids and take them on many adventures. They like to go fruit and vegetable picking, as well as to the beach in the summer. And they are always up for swimming, camping and hiking the outdoors together.
Originally from Ellicott City, Maryland, Jessica earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. She later moved to Florida to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences.
Passionate about pelvic floor therapy, Jessica takes pride in helping patients return to activities they love—especially those they once thought were out of reach. She emphasizes a holistic approach to health and wellness.
Outside the clinic, Jessica enjoys exploring new cuisines through cooking with her Fiance, expanding her knowledge of nutritional health, and staying active at the gym and outdoors with her dog Nylah.
I received by BS in Health Science in 2015 and completed my DPT in 2017 at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA. I've had experience working in pediatric outpatient clinics, school systems, and geriatric home visits. After graduating, I moved to North Carolina where I met my husband who was stationed at Fort Bragg at the time.
We have two amazing little girls and a pit bull mix who all keep our home full of joy and entertainment. We recently moved to the area from Georgia and love exploring this part of the US. After having my girls, I became interested in pelvic floor rehab and am so excited to be working with this population at Breakaway!
Emma completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2024 from Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida.
Emma grew up in Sarasota, Florida where she competed in triathlons throughout most of her youth. She switched sports to rowing after an injury in highschool, and was recruited to row at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where she received her bachelor’s in kinesiology with a minor in biology.
In Iowa she found her love for decaf pumpkin spice lattes and fall activities. After graduating with her doctorate, she was persistent to return north to enjoy the seasonal activities and lattes again.
I studied kinesiology and human development at the University of Maryland in College Park and graduated in the spring of 2021. I spent 2 years at Breakaway gaining experience and learned something new every day to take into my future career.
I started Physical Therapy School at the University of Maryland Baltimore in the summer of 2022 and will be back to Breakaway PT in 2025 !
I played soccer for almost 14 years right up until I started college, where I played with friends in the intramural teams. Now I try to run and workout in place of playing soccer, occasionally still passing the ball around.
I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, going out on the boat, and playing with my puppy Piper!
Born in Baltimore and raised in Maryland, I've also called Michigan and Pennsylvania home at different points in my life. As the proud CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of my bustling household, I navigated the chaos of raising four boys and a girl before venturing into the customer service industry, which I've grown to love!
Outside of work, you'll often find me indulging in my passions: traveling, with a special connection for the beach—which is my “happy place”; cherishing moments with my grandchildren; or unwinding with a good movie and with a big bucket of popcorn (because I gotta have the popcorn!)
Kendal, a Los Angeles native and college sophomore pursuing a bachelor's degree in Sports Management at Bowie State University, brings a passion for fitness, health, and sports injury rehabilitation to his role as Physical Therapy Aide and Stretch Therapist.
Kendal is passionate about basketball as a youth coach and college player, he continues to hone his skills and knowledge of athletic development, achieving peak performance, and teaching proper form. Kendal is committed to providing excellent support to the physical therapy team and helping patients achieve their goals.
A Baltimore native and an eastern shore enthusiast, I’m a medical assistant by trade and lover of all things patient related. I love watching all my patients succeed and grow.
I’m a mom of two girls, a softball coach, and an avid traveler. I enjoy being beachside whenever possible.
I look forward to meeting you all and being a part of the Breakaway Family!
