Hi I’m Martha! I am Happy to share a little about me… 

I am a blessed mother of 3 loving boys. I’ve been a Lake Co. resident for 25 years, I did most of my schooling in Texas, but always wanted to join my family in Florida…and so grateful it happened! Spending time with family is my greatest joy and staying connected with God is of great importance to me, they are my strength and motivation. I am a parishioner at St. Mary of the Lakes Catholic Church here in Eustis and involved in a few of the ministries there, including Youth Faith Formation.

​

Before joining Daisy’s Physical Therapy, I gratefully worked with a wonderful family and their citrus business in Umatilla, where I lived. With time and changes I continued meeting great people and enjoyed interacting with everyone at Sunsational Farms, from co-workers to customers for about 16 years. I forever will treasure the “family-like” relation we shared.

 

Margarita and I also share many beautiful childhood memories.… like pretending we were famous singers (so glad there’s karaoke now). As we grew older our paths took different directions when she moved far from me, but we are excited to unite again and cherish new accomplishments.

I am very thankful to Margarita for thinking of me as she starts a new chapter. She is a wonderful person to know and with years of expertise, caring heart and motivating attitude, I’m sure she is one of the best Physical Therapist in the area… for you, for me and for everyone. I am excited for this new opportunity and looking forward in assisting Margarita into what is most important in her career, helping you reach your goal in physical health.
