Niki is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) with over 15 years of experience working in the area of pelvic health and 9 years working in the area of TMJ. After receiving her BA in psychology from Denver University in 2004, Niki began working as a certified Pilates instructor and Wellness Coordinator for a local PT clinic where she was exposed to the specialty of pelvic health and collaborated with DPTs to establish exercise programs that were safe for women experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, and/or recovering from pregnancy or other pelvic procedures. This sparked her passion for the specialty and in 2013 she received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus. As a student, Niki was the recipient of the prestigious Mary Gosnell Award for Clinical Excellence. During her clinical education experiences and for the next 12 years, Niki was mentored and employed by two leaders in the field, Dr. Lori Buxton, PT, DPT, WCS and Dawn Sandalcidi, PT, RCMT, BCB-PMD. In July 2020, Niki opened Popper PT within Fertile Ground Wellness Center.
