Mariel serves to facilitate positive change through a hybrid approach integrating principles of rehabilitation and strength and conditioning. She achieved her B.S. in Exercise Physiology and Sports Medicine while participating as a varsity-level athlete at the University of Miami. Mariel continued on to receive her doctorate at the same school. Her philosophy is to help individuals create a positive environment for health by adhering to fundamental and controllable behaviors. This includes meeting physical activity guidelines, eating well, staying hydrated, getting sufficient sleep, and having a strong community and positive social support. She honed her clinical skills by treating a wide variety of sports and orthopedic cases ranging from the acute, post-operative conditions to elite-level performance across all skill levels and age groups.
Mariel enjoys traveling the world, eating at new restaurants, spending time with her French Bulldog, playing volleyball, volunteering at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, lifting weights, and hosting education/community-building events.
