Dr. Molly Shea, DPT, RYT, PCES | Founder

Hi! I’m Molly Shea. I founded Breathe In Motion Wellness on the strong belief that every person deserves to feel good and keep doing the things they LOVE! After working in the traditional health care system for several years, I grew tired of the “sit and wait” approach to injuries and being confined by the restraints of insurance companies dictating patient care. I believe we need to shift our focus to lifestyle medicine and prevention of injuries before they become a bigger issue!

Our treatment approach at Breathe In Motion involves the entire body to identify problematic areas that may require further attention and lead to inefficient movement. Your left shoulder pain, right low back symptoms and right knee pain may all be connected. Our team of therapists will find the central link and tackle a problem before it becomes painful or limits your function. We know the whole body is connected so we will treat your WHOLE self.

My dream is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported and loved. A space where all of our therapists have a wide variety of tools and training to address the entire kinetic chain. We want to change the narrative of healthcare for female athletes across the lifespan. We’ll pair you with a therapist that will best suit your specific needs and goals.

We’re excited to embark on this life changing journey with you to help you find the best version of yourself. It’s time to take care of YOU. Let’s crush those goals that you didn’t even think were possible. We are going to support you every step of the way.

I especially love working with high school athletes in physical therapy so they can rehab, recover, and shine in a sport they love.

I take a personalized approach and tailor my treatments towards your specific goals.

Dr. Stephanie (Stef) Smith, DPT, OCS

Hi! I’m Stephanie Smith, a doctor of physical therapy and orthopedic clinical specialist. I am also the clinic director here at Breathe In Motion. I have worked as a physical therapist for the last 10 years and have enjoyed helping my patients with a variety of orthopedic injuries, ranging from head to toe. My focus during sessions is to use my manual therapy interventions, dry needling techniques and overall functional exercise to help patients to improve their movement and strength to attain their personal goals. Ultimately, I want every patient to be able to work towards levels even better than their previous activity.

Throughout my professional career, I have earned a Wisconsin Physical Therapy Association Award for my contributions to the profession in my first 3 years of practice and became a Board Certified Orthopaedic Specialist of physical therapy in 2016. I have advanced training in manual therapy for the spine and both upper and lower extremities and am certified in dry needling.  Areas of further training include treatment of headaches and jaw pain, dizziness, pelvic health, and pregnancy and postpartum exercise.

I truly love the challenge of treating any problem a patient presents to me and working to establish any interconnections between other past and present symptoms. I am passionate about not only treating the current problem but empowering my patients to look to the future and help prevent further injury. I love providing the framework, exercises, and resources to help patients feel in full control of their future and overall health.

BODYWORK & PERFORMANCE THERAPISTS

Kristin Darga, CPT, PTA

Hi, I’m Kristin! I’m a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, certified personal trainer, and former professional dancer with a deep passion for helping individuals move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free. I enjoy working with a diverse range of patients, from performing artists to individuals of all fitness levels. My approach is comprehensive and tailored to each person's unique needs to support long term well being. I incorporate techniques such as: assisted stretching, soft tissue mobilization, therapeutic exercise, and Pilates-based conditioning. My focus is on educating dancers and patients about body mechanics and postural alignment to enhance movement, improve efficiency, and prevent injury. Whether you're working on rehabilitation, flexibility, strength, or just striving to feel your best, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

My passion for movement began when I started dancing at the age of 3, igniting a lifelong love for performance and the art of movement. This journey led me to earn a BFA in Dance from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, which opened the door to an amazing 15-year career performing in Disney stage productions and touring internationally.

A few years ago, I had to step away from the stage due to a chronic back injury that kept me in and out of physical therapy for a year. While therapy helped with the pain, I struggled to regain full strength and longed for a therapist who truly understood my body as both a dancer and athlete. Nevertheless, through persistence, tailored rehabilitation using Pilates techniques, and learning to listen to my body, I fully recovered and returned to performing. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in physical therapy, blending my background in movement and performance with a desire to provide the specialized care I once needed.

I believe everyone has the ability to move better, feel stronger, and live life to the fullest—no matter where you're starting from. I’m excited to join you on this journey and can’t wait to help you elevate your flexibility, strength, and overall performance! Let's work together to unlock your greatest potential!

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

  • “Molly is incredibly knowledgeable! I saw her for pelvic floor health for my second pregnancy. She asked questions I haven’t been asked before and did a thorough evaluation to try and get to the root cause of ailments I had with my first pregnancy. She exudes passion for what she does and stressed the importance of prevention. She never made me feel silly for asking questions and explained what and why she was doing in a way I could understand. I would absolutely recommend Molly and Breathe in Motion to any pregnant and postpartum mamas!”

    -AD

  • Stephanie is wonderful to work with. Her knowledge and compassionate care are unmatched.

    -EB

  • “I’m a mom of two young and very active little ones. I had on and off low back pain since my last pregnancy and everyday life with my kids was becoming more painful and frustrating. I started therapy with Molly and was so impressed with her kind and compassionate demeanor, her knowledge, the quality of and her practice based on treating the whole person, listening to needs and helping achieve goals. I am back to chasing my kids and being active without pain! Molly is absolutely wonderful! So grateful.”

    -KG

  • “Maggie is amazing! Whether I need a quick tune up or a full Pilates training session with her, she is very skilled and knowledgeable. She really listens to you and makes sure your body gets what it needs!”

    -NK

  • "Molly is AMAZING. I had postpartum issues with irregular cycles. After two visits and some visceral therapy (which is mind blowing and incredibly successful for me), she helped me re-regulate my cycles, balanced my hormones, and my sciatica was gone. Molly works magic!  She is highly skilled and an expert in her field.  Paired with the passion she has for helping her clients, I am confident the service she provides is unmatched.  Every OBGYN should be referring their patients to Molly!”

  • When I do pilates rehab with Maggie consistently, I don’t need my PT for dry needling, mobilization or massage as frequently because I have no pain!”

    -Natalie

  • I’ve been seeing Stephanie for a shoulder injury. I appreciate her extreme care, her thoughtfulness, and most importantly her use of creative approaches to relieve the pain and help my shoulder heal. My number one goal is to avoid surgery and with Steph’s help, I have my best chance!

    -BW

  • This place is an absolutely amazing place to get Physical Therapy. I have been to many different medical facilities, and nothing has compared to the treatment that I get here. At first it may seem like a lot with the cost, but they will work with you, and it will be worth it in the end. I have done only 4/5 sessions so far and we have gotten more done than doing twenty sessions under insurance at a hospital system. The ladies that treat you here are super nice and understanding.
