Dr. Natalie Marshall, PT, DPT
Owner and Physical Therapist
– What do you do at Prana? Whatever Megan tells me to do! I am also the owner and one of the practicing therapists. I am a physical therapist by trade so I am fortunate enough to help folks dealing with a variety of issues such as back pain or pain with running/crossfit. I help them get back to doing things that are important to them.
-As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? An astronaut! I visited a NASA Center in Texas last year and I felt like a kid in a candy shop.
-What is your favorite holiday and why? I love Halloween & Derby. They highlight KY during some of her finest weather, it’s a good excuse to whip up a batch of burgoo, and get together with friends & family.
-What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given? “People are just weird.” It’s true! We’re all weird in our own way. 2021 is a year to embrace the weird, promote the funky, and chase dreams!
-If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why? The Obamas. They have been trailblazers in American history, breaking molds and inspiring kids who look like them to chase their dreams. They wanted change and to create a better future and they fought for their beliefs.
Hannah Wathen, OTR/L
Wellness Coach
-What do you do at Prana? I am an Occupational Therapist and I lead our wellness program called Be Well with Prana. I see clients with acute and chronic conditions and work alongside them to return to valued occupations or perhaps develop healthier habits to promote better health. I teach fitness classes, meet with clients each week for accountability, answer questions during Open Gym, and host nutritional outings each month.
-As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I ran through lots of aspirations including, but not limited to Equine Veterinarian, Actress, Nurse & Broadway Dancer!
-If you could pick up a new skill in an instant what would it be? Drawing. I find coloring, painting, and doodling to be very therapeutic, but it might be nice to be able to produce something pretty.
-If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why? Anne Frank. I admire her strength as well as her unconditional belief in the good of all people. I would like to learn from that kind of faith and compassion.
-What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Comparison is the thief of joy.
Sarah Mashburn, OTR/L
Pelvic Health Therapist
-What do you do at Prana? I am a pelvic health occupational therapist, cheerleader, advocate, guidance counselor, referral source, a friend.
-As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? In elementary school, I wanted to be a computer scientist-mostly because I wanted a computer. From middle school on, I wanted to be an occupational therapist.
-What is your favorite holiday and why? Fall, yes I know it’s not an official holiday. It is the time of year I love the best because it brings my birthday, basketball season, cozy blankets, Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas. Fall is my favorite!
-If you could pick up a new skill in an instant what would it be? Read & play piano music of any genre.
-If you could live anywhere on this planet, where would you choose to live? Everywhere!
-What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Do it right the first time, you won’t have to do it twice.
