Meet Heather
Heather M. Cooper, PT, cTMR
Experienced physical therapist. Creative problem solver. Your partner in care.
I've been a physical therapist since 1997, helping children and families navigate developmental, neurological, orthopedic, and complex movement needs.
Why I created Abilibee Therapy
After nearly three decades as a physical therapist, I’ve seen how much the setting can shape the therapy experience. In busy clinic environments, schedules, productivity expectations, and the next appointment can leave little room for the unexpected. I’ve also worked with many individuals who struggle in unfamiliar, medical-looking spaces, making it harder for them to feel comfortable, engage, and show what they can really do.
I wanted to get back to what I love about physical therapy: having the freedom to slow down, get creative, follow a child’s lead, make therapy fun, and give families time to ask questions and talk through their concerns. Working in familiar, natural environments allows us to build on what someone already enjoys, address challenges where they actually happen, and make skills more meaningful to everyday life.
I created Abilibee to make therapy more personal, flexible, and connected to everyday life—creating space to meet each individual where they are and discover what helps them move forward.
EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE
Abilibee is intentionally personal. As the owner and physical therapist, Heather is the person families get to know, communicate with, and work with throughout their care.
Her goal is simple: to provide thoughtful, individualized physical therapy while building relationships that last.

HEATHER'S WORLD
When I'm not supporting clients, I'm happiest spending time with my family, planning the next adventure, traveling to new places, capturing memories through photography, enjoying a great movie, or getting my hands dirty creating whimsy in the garden.
My greatest adventure is the life I've built with my husband, Sam, and our two daughters, Anna and Julia. Sam is not only my partner in life but also my partner in business, serving as the COO of Abilibee Therapy. Throughout his military service, he also built a successful career as a Capital Project Manager, balancing both roles until retiring from the U.S. Army. Today, he brings his leadership, strategic thinking, and project management expertise to help keep the Abilibee team running smoothly.
Our daughters are busy creating adventures of their own. Anna is pursuing a career in archives, combining her love of history, genealogy, and travel into a path that fits her curiosity and passion for preserving the past. Julia, the youngest, dreams of becoming an elementary school teacher. She loves learning new languages, exploring new places, and filling the house with music. And wherever Julia goes, there's a good chance you'll find her beloved Ragdoll cat, Winston, right by her side.
Together, our family shares a love of laughter, travel, and saying "yes" to the occasional random adventure—because the best memories are often the unplanned ones.
