Carlin completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Marshall University in 2020. Since then, she has worked in the greater Columbus area in outpatient orthopedics. She has specific training in dry needling, and a passion for treating women with pelvic floor dysfunction, runners, and the fitness athlete.

Carlin grew up as an exercise enthusiast and loves all things fitness. She was a gymnast in her younger years, and competed in track in high school before completing two half marathons. In college, she discovered her passion for lifting weights, and later found CrossFit during PT school. Her husband is a firefighter, both for the US Air Force and the city of Columbus, so she understands the demands that a person's passion for both their job and their wellness can put on the body. That's why she created Ignite - to keep people moving and doing what fuels them, through all the demands of life.
