Beth Williams, P.T., A.P.T. has been a licensed physical therapist since graduating from California State University Northridge in 1985. Inspired by her heart-dog Nitro’s successful recovery from hip surgery, she opened K9 Wellness Center in 1999 to provide physical therapy and rehabilitation for dogs (and the occasional bunny, cat, goat, or horse) in Reno.
In 2004, Beth became one of the first two licensed animal physical therapists in Nevada, and has worked with many dogs recovering from injury or surgery, as well as those living with chronic neurological and orthopedic conditions.
During her career as a physical therapist for humans, she served as a geriatric clinical specialist for 20 years, pursued advanced training in body work and movement education, was certified in Pilates, and earned a master’s degree in counseling and educational psychology. In 2021, she completed the Dancing Hearts Academy coaches’ training and expanded her work to help people and dogs cooperatively live their best lives together.
Beth happily resides in Reno, Nevada with her beloved “pack”: husband Dave, Rottweiler KZ, several chickens, and paint quarter horse Classy. She and her canine partner KZ enjoy training and competing in Barn Hunt and North American Sport Dog Association activities in their free time.
