Exceptional Care. Specialized Expertise.

Karinda is the Founder and CEO of Perfect Peace Physical Therapy, a women’s pelvic health practice dedicated to loving and serving women through every season of life.

Karinda attended Arkansas State University, where she earned both her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. She began her physical therapy career in 2018 with a passion for helping people reach their physical goals while working with a diverse range of patients. It was during her own pregnancy and postpartum experience in 2019–2020 that Karinda developed a deeper appreciation for the incredible way a woman’s body is designed to grow, birth, and nurture a child. This experience inspired her to pursue advanced education in obstetrics and pelvic floor physical therapy so she could better support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and every season beyond.

Karinda has received extensive training through the American Physical Therapy Association and Herman & Wallace and holds her CAPP-OB (Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy – Obstetric) through the APTA. She is also certified in pelvic floor dry needling. Her advanced training allows her to provide evidence-based, individualized care for women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction and the physical changes that accompany pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood.

Perfect Peace Physical Therapy was founded by Karinda in Oklahoma with a vision to create a different kind of physical therapy experience for women—one where they feel heard, known, and restored. When Karinda relocated to Arkansas in 2025, she opened a second Perfect Peace location, expanding the practice’s ability to serve women in both communities.

Today, Karinda’s passion extends beyond patient care. She loves building relationships and partnering with other providers who share her desire to serve women well. She is equally passionate about pouring into her team, developing women as leaders, and creating opportunities for them to use their gifts to care for women through every season of life. At the heart of all she does is a mission to love and serve women in a way that reflects the calling of her faith.

Outside of Perfect Peace, Karinda enjoys doing ministry alongside her husband, Mason, exploring holistic living, socializing in the gym, and raising her two incredible children, Adley Jo and Asa Thomas.

Maddie is the Chief Operating Officer of Perfect Peace Physical Therapy.

Maddie earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Oklahoma Baptist University before receiving her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2021. Her interest in pelvic health began during graduate school as she learned about the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction and the significant gap in awareness surrounding treatment options and access to care. This sparked a desire to pursue additional education in pelvic health, beginning with training through the American Physical Therapy Association while still in graduate school.

Maddie holds her Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) certification, with a particular interest in supporting women through the perinatal and postpartum seasons. She is also certified in Functional Dry Needling and enjoys incorporating hands-on manual techniques into her treatment to help women move more freely and comfortably. She is currently pursuing the Pelvic Rehabilitation Fertility Specialist Certification Program to further expand her ability to care for women through the fertility season of life.

Maddie’s greatest passion is empowering women with knowledge and individualized care so they can better understand their bodies, overcome pain and dysfunction, and function at their highest capacity.

Maddie lives in Moore, Oklahoma, with her husband, Weston, their daughter, Sophia, and their two dogs. Outside of work, they enjoy spending time together outdoors, hiking, and camping.

She is passionate about providing women with a continuum of care throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, helping them understand their bodies and confidently return to the activities, exercise, and fitness they enjoy.
