About Wonderfully Made Physical Therapy

At Wonderfully Made PT, we believe every person is uniquely created with purpose — and your health matters.
Physical therapy should be a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. We specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy for both women and men, offering compassionate, expert care in your home or in our inviting office space. Our services also include orthopedic physical therapy to help restore strength, mobility, and confidence. Whether you're facing pelvic health challenges, recovering from injury, or simply striving to feel your best, we're here to walk alongside you — honoring the truth that you are wonderfully made.

Ariel is a Florida native with a passion for helping people move freely and achieve their physical performance goals while inspiring enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle. She attended the University of Central Florida receiving her Bachelor’s in Pre-Clinical Health Sciences and was a collegiate student-athlete for the UCF Knightmoves Dance Team. Ariel then went on to receive her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Florida Southern College, and has called Lakeland home ever since!

She has a strong background in orthopedic care working with a variety of patient populations and diagnoses. She has enjoyed working with athletes and active individuals of all ages. Ariel began specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy in 2023 and has found a passion in treating women through all of life’s stages from menstruation to menopause.

Ariel is a retired professional dancer who still carries a love for the art. She loves being outdoors, spending time with her rescue dog, and creating home-cooked meals with her husband. Ariel’s goal is to build relationships with her patients, empower them, and apply holistic, patient-centered care to all she is given the opportunity to treat!

Kristen is a Lakeland native who grew up taking an interest in the human body and all its intricacies. Her studies at the University of Florida (Go Gators!) included a Bachelor of Science in applied Physiology and Kinesiology and a minor in Dance, along with a Master of Science in Human Performance with a concentration in Biomechanics. This blossomed into a career in physical therapy leading her to FIU in Miami, FL where she completed a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.

Kristen quickly focused her physical therapy career in Pelvic Health, treating both males and females in all stages of life. This passion led her to become certified as a Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner in 2022. She now co-owns Wonderfully Made Physical Therapy in Lakeland and teaches as an adjunct professor at Nova Southeastern’s DPT program.

Kristen has found strength in the amazing community of providers in the Lakeland area who share her main goal - to treat patients as individuals to the best of her abilities, caring for the heart as much as the physical body.
