Shaina is the founder and owner of Breakaway Physical Therapy. Shaina is an Ironman Triathlete, who uses her exercise time to think and clear her mind.
Shaina graduated from Towson University with a Bachelors in Chemistry and went on to get her DPT from University of Maryland, Baltimore. She started treating the pelvic floor population after having kids and seeing the amazing changes men, women and children can have in their life.
Her favorite activity is swimming and snowboarding, which led her to her career choice many years ago. She is a mother of four- Mason, Emma, Addison and Finley. She loves to spend time with her kids and take them on many adventures. They like to go fruit and vegetable picking, as well as to the beach in the summer. And they are always up for swimming, camping and hiking the outdoors together.
I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Billing and Coding in 2020.
Family time is the most important time for me! I love to be with my 11-month-old daughter and husband.
Baking cakes is something I like to do in my free time and interior decorating always get my brain and creativity going.
I am loving everything that I am learning at Breakaway Physical Therapy and so excited to be a part of the team!
My relaxation and all-time favorite place are warm, sandy beaches.
I studied kinesiology and human development at the University of Maryland in College Park and graduated in the spring of 2021. I am currently applying to PT schools and plan to start in the spring of 2022.
I have had the opportunity to gain more knowledge and experience at Breakaway over the past 2 years and am grateful to be a part of the team. I learn something new every day and information that I will be able to take with me into my future career.
I played soccer for almost 14 years right up until I started college, where I played with friends in the intramural teams. Now I try to run and workout in place of playing soccer, occasionally still passing the ball around.
I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, going out on the boat, and playing with my puppy Piper!
Sara is received her Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Saint Louis University, in St. Louis, MO. Sara enjoys traveling with her husband, Mike, who is a member of the United States Air Force. They have lived in California to New Jersey and now in Maryland, loving what each state has to offer.
Sara has a passion for working with patients on balance conditions, vestibular and concussion injuries. Being the daughter of a personal trainer, Sara loves to learn about new exercises and new ways to move and strengthen the body.
She grew up dancing with ballet being a huge part of her life. She takes her dancing experience and uses it to work with her patients. In her free time, Sara enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and has a passion for fitness. Sara is excited to be a part of the Breakaway Physical Therapy team and looks forward to helping patients.
Sabina is passionate about helping individuals restore their function and improve their quality of life.
Sabina attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she graduated with her Master of Physical Therapy. She went on to obtain her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Concordia University in Wisconsin. She has extensive experience working in the outpatient orthopedic physical therapy setting and has a special interest in treating those individuals with vestibular dysfunctions and balance related conditions.
Outside of work, Sabina enjoys spending time with her family and friends. You can typically find her outdoors on adventures with her family, relaxing at the pool/beach or walking her dog Homer. She also likes to travel and hopes to be able to explore more new places with her family soon.
Diana is a black belt martial artist, triathlete, half- marathon runner, and violinist. She views movement as a gift and tries her best to participate in any physical activity.
She graduated from Towson University with a Bachelors in Exercise Science and went on to get her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Western University of Health Sciences. Her interest in physical therapy began in part due to her chronically ill grandmother and father.
Diana believes “All human beings have the potential to improve their quality of life and the first step in that process is choosing to work on one’s current mindset. I value forming therapeutic relationships with my patients and feel the best way to help them through their personal journey is by actively listening to their unique life experiences.”
Arianna is currently a Junior at the University of Maryland College Park studying Kinesiology and is on the path to go to PT school in two years.

She is really active playing many sports - soccer, basketball, and track. She also loves to cook, hike, go running and paddle boarding.
