Natalie Kiefer DPT, OCS

I am one of the Doctors of Physical Therapy at the clinic. I was born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, and then attended Carroll College in Helena, MT for my undergraduate degree. There, I played collegiate volleyball, and met my husband, Chris. I then attended Pacific University in Hillsboro, Oregon to earn my Doctorate in physical therapy. Immediately after graduating, I worked for the Indian Health Service and offered full-spectrum outpatient physical therapy to rural Indigenous communities. I elected to get board-certified in Orthopedics in 2019 and in Women’s Health in 2020 by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, to demonstrate clinical excellence in the PT field. I have a special clinical passion for prenatal and postpartum care, and I incorporate my knowledge of fertility and hormones as a Certified Fertility Care Practitioner into my considerations as a physical therapist. In my free time, I spend time with my three young children, all 4 years old and under. We enjoy playing board games, running around outdoors at the local beaches and hiking trails, and participating in church community activities.
