Natalie Sousa has known since high school that she wanted to be a physical therapist, having experience receiving therapy for injuries as an athlete. The Las Vegas native attended UNLV, earning her degree in Kinesiology, and obtained her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2020. She is motivated by pure passion for the field, especially enjoying the little moments when a patient can do something they were unable to do before. Her favorite memory as a PT is helping a patient who was in a boot recover, and went on to complete a 20-mile hike!
