The Hab It Team
Colleen Kinstle (CD, CPD, CBE, LE): Wholesale Account Manager
|
Colleen Kinstle is our Wholesale Account Manager. She had previously worked in the same role for a baby-related company, before joining our team. Her background as a Childbirth Professional (certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator and lactation educator) have enabled her to work closely with new and expectant mothers as they begin their journey into motherhood. Colleen's passion of supporting and empowering women through education, was further met when she joined PT Partners LLC upon the launching of our first product, the Hab It Pelvic Floor DVD. "As a childbirth professional, I was asked to review the product. I not only reviewed it, but I tried the program myself. As a mother of four young children who had suffered from incontinence after childbirth, I was excited to finally see results for myself; and eager to share the benefits with my doula clients. The opportunity to work with PT Partners LLC directly, will allow me to reach out to even more women."

Liz Michaels & Vaiva Vaisnys: Co-Founders |
Liz Michaels, is a co-founder of and Vaiva Vaisnys is a partner in PT Partners, LLC. Both Liz and Vaiva experienced, first-hand, how hard it to effectively complete physical therapy exercises at home after sustaining several orthopedic injuries. While instructions seemed clear when they worked with their respective physical therapists in the clinic, they both found the stick-figures and instructions written on paper to be less than ideal when trying to replicate and follow the prescribed PT regimen at home. As such, the both play a key role in ensuring that the DVDs that the company develops are developed with the Patient's point of view and experience in mind.
In addition to lending the "patient perspective,"
Liz is responsible for the marketing and operational aspects of the business. Prior to starting this business, Liz has worked in various operational and leadership roles in financial services, academics, and interactive media. She, along with her husband, three children and two puppies live in Chicago and relish all things outdoors.
