ANGELICA NAPOLITANO

Dr. Angelica Napolitano began her journey within the SSPT community during season 5 in January of 2018. After only 2 weeks into her mentorship with Greg, Angelica started up a side hustle as a mobile cash-based practice owner, and after 6 weeks in the program was able to quit her full time job and stop doing mobile PT as she quickly and successfully built up a brick and mortar based cash practice.

Angelica practices out of Jupiter, FL and is known as “The Golf Doc,” specializing in golf rehab and fitness. She thrived within her ability to represent herself as the expert in her field by building a brand identity that not only attracted the clients she desired but has given her a solid reputation that has allowed her to leverage and scale her practice. 

Most importantly, Angelica possesses a strong belief system built on the foundation of courage and vulnerability, and our ability to understand, accept and show up when we can’t control the outcome. However, we must realize that we need to bring this understanding and acceptance into our lives first before expecting others to accept and respect us for who we are and the truths and values that come along with that. Although this is a road less traveled, it is also the road to true long-term success, and with the right guidance are the keys to overcoming fear and intolerance to failure. Because with no tolerance to failure comes no creativity and with no creativity comes no vulnerability and without vulnerability we cannot create.

CHRISTINE PIETON

I am a practicing physical therapist and pilates instructor in Santa Barbara, CA, who specializes in general orthopedics, sport-specific, and women's health pelvic floor rehabilitation. I started my own cash-based practice, Pieton Physical Therapy, in April 2016 where I work one-on-one with my patients and incorporate pilates apparatus training for full body strengthening and movement re-education. I'm in the process of creating an online education program (deets to be shared soon, stay tuned!) while also developing an action plan to expand my current practice in the next year. When I graduated from PT school in May of 2014 (Go Emory!), I never would have believed that I'd be running my own business two years later, nor that I would have the courage to create an online business as well. We are all capable of so much more than we realize, and having the right community around you (big shout out to SSPT!) makes all the difference. There is never an easy road to the things that matter, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the ride and do the hard things together! Welcome to SSPT Nation, where the courageous are coming together to pave a new way and build each other up in the process. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story and dreams for the future, and helping support you along your journey. Now in the words of GT, "Let's get it!".

GINGER MORRISEY

Hi.  I’m Ginger Morrissey.  I’ve been a PT since 1997 and treated in mostly orthopedics.  I opened my own cash based practice (brick and mortar) in the Summer of 2018 right after attending my first SSPT Live.  I completed SSPT Season 6 and am currently in the Mastermind Elite Program. Greg and his coaches have helped me overcome a lot of challenges in order to grow my business.  Some of those challenges were:

• Technology
• How to get leads
• How to convert leads to sales
• How to convert a patient into a life-long customer
• There are too many others to list.

My clinic is growing and I have since started a 2nd business in Functional Medicine which is mostly online.  I am looking to hire my first contract employee for my PT Practice so I can concentrate more on growing the Functional Medicine online program.

I’ve stepped into the Ambassador Program so that I can help others find PLEASURE in their careers and make enough money to buy back some time so they can find HEALTH again and family time again. We all need encouragement from time-to-time and sometimes a little push to get things done.  I’m here to help!

JEANNE WILLIAMS

Dr. Jeanne Williams worked corporate healthcare for 20 years before she got the heck out of that crazy mess She started her own mobile, cash-based practice in 2015 and later became “The Purple PT.” 

Her introduction to Greg Todd and SSPT started with SSPT Live 2018. Truthfully, Jeanne didn’t really follow Greg on social media because she never took time to watch his videos unless they were captioned! She heard about Greg through her learning from Jarod Carter, Aaron Lebauer and Paul Gough. 

Jeanne could rehab and coach athletes to success and write training plans for any type of endurance event (from 5K runs to Ironman triathlon to ultramarathons). But after a few years spinning her wheels, she wasn’t reaching her goals. She was wasting time trying to learn all the business things. Thanks to the incredible SSPT community and their successes, she realized she needed their business coach and joined SSPT Season 8 in January 2019. 

Now Jeanne has a brick and mortar practice in a private personal training studio for her physical therapy, bike fitting and sports performance services. Since joining SSPT, she has added online endurance sports coaching and programs to help grow her practice. 

After leaving the bobo healthcare system, Jeanne no longer dreads going to work any day of the week, even working races early, early on the weekend! She wants to use her coaching experience in living an intentionally imbalanced life to help fellow SSPT’ers on their journey to time and financial freedom.

JUAN MICHELLE MARTIN

Originally from the beautiful island nation of Barbados, I moved to the US for college via a volleyball scholarship. At the time I also had the honor of representing the Barbados Senior National Volleyball team having competed at the junior level. I earned a Bachelors degree in Biology in 2004 from the University of Montevallo with minors in Psychology and Kinesiology as I knew I wanted to pursue a career in therapy and wellness, due in part to my own personal experience as an athlete. As a student and athlete, I also had the privilege of working under the head athletic trainer, expanding my knowledge base regarding return to sport and injury prevention. I continued to do so as a graduate assistant while in PT school and in 2007, earned a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) from New York Institute of Technology.

KAYLEE SIMMERMAN

Kaylee Garrett Simmerman has nearly 2 years of clinical experience with a specific skill set in women’s health. After getting signs and symptoms of burnout just a little after 6 months from graduation, she started to dig deep with personal development and learning about how to change her mindset to reach her goals. With the help of SSPT Season V and after spending several months on building herself  (because YOU are your greatest asset) she was able to walk away from that position that was causing so many negative experiences and really get a clear vision of her future. Today, she has her own cash PT practice for women’s health incorporating all of her knowledge and expertise. She is also working on building her online empire and a few other things on the side! Every day is a great day to have a great day and do what you love!

RAYMOND AGOSTINO

Also known as Ray Ray, and he has been a physical therapist since July of 2015.  Ray is 33 years old and took a slightly unconventional path to becoming a physical therapist.  He studied business management as an undergrad student and didn’t like the path that was taking him down, and then changed gears to get into PT school. Once he became a PT, he started in an outpatient setting, but quickly grew frustrated with how clinics were being run, how patients were being treated, and the overall lack of autonomy that PTs had, even though that was what he thought becoming a doctorate profession was all about.  These frustrations led him to Season III of SSPT in February of 2017. This, combined with attending SSPT Live in 2017, became his spring board for opening his own cash pay practice.

DAVID BAYLIFF
