Guest Info
Michelle Leary is the medical wellness director at Pinnacle Physical Therapy and is an ACSM Certified Personal TrainerSM. Leary began her career in health and wellness in 2005 when she began teaching Pilates while studying abroad in Switzerland.

After returning to the U.S., she worked under an osteopathic physician assisting with patients and attending Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA while completing her degree. Her experience and education gave her the opportunity to work as the Fitness Coordinator at The Bellettini senior community in Bellevue, WA where she found an enthusiasm for working with older adults.
