Dr. Emma Peeler’s passion for movement began at the age of three when she took her first dance class. This early love of movement propelled her to compete as a dancer through college, where she earned All-American Athlete honors and contributed to three national titles as a key member of the St. Ambrose University Dance Team.

Dr. Peeler pursued dual degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology at St. Ambrose University, later earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2020. She began her career in an outpatient orthopedic clinic, where she honed her skills in diagnosing and treating a diverse range of patients. Recognizing a need for specialized care in women’s health, Dr. Peeler pursued advanced training in pelvic therapy, pregnancy, and postpartum care through Herman and Wallace. She also incorporates Functional Dry Needling as a treatment option for select patients, utilizing it as a tool to address specific musculoskeletal issues when appropriate.

Outside of work, Emma enjoys staying active with a variety of hobbies, including weightlifting, biking, and running. She also enjoys training her dog, Lincoln, and spending time with her husband, Zach, outdoors.
