Get To KnowOur New

Hey, y’all! I’m Anne, the newest PT to join The Training Room family at theHaddonfieldclinic. I’moriginallyfromDallas,TX,and Ineverthought that I would find myself up on the East Coast but I am loving it, minus thewinters.Y’allcanhaveyourfourdistinctseasons, I’mperfectlyhappy with the “hot” and “less hot” seasons down in Texas. After taking a bit of a circuitous route through health care options in undergrad (MD, social worker, and neuropsychologist just to name a few), I landed on physical therapy as the ideal profession in which my skills, talents, and personality lend themselves best to helping patients reach their goals and maximize their potential. Ihavealways lovedtryingnewworkouts,exercises,groupfitnessclasses, andanyandalloutdooractivities,and I’m luckyenough tohavefounda profession that not only supports these endeavors but also allows me to share this passion and enthusiasm with my patients as we jointly create a plan to get them back to their lifestyle.

Anne’s Favorite No Bake Energy Bites Recipe

Here’s my go-to recipe for a feel-good, on-the-go snack between working out, runningerrands,andmeetingupwithfriends:NoBakeEnergyBites(adaptedfrom Gimme Some Oven https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/)

Ingredients: • 1 cup dry old-fashioned oatmeal • ⅔ cut toasted coconut flakes • ½ cup peanut butter (or other nut butter) • ½ cup flax seeds • 1 tablespoon chia seeds • ½ cup chocolate chips of any variety • ⅓ cup honey • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions: 1. Dump all ingredients into a large bowl and mix thoroughly (using your hands works great!). Cover and let chill in fridge for 15-30 min. 2. Remove from fridge, and roll mixture into ~1 tablespoon-sized balls. Makes ~2 dozen balls. 3. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week (if they last that long).
