Noelle Drakeford, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
With 12 years of experience as a pediatric physical therapist, I have had the privilege of working in various settings, including outpatient care. However, my true passion lies in Early Intervention, where I have dedicated the past several years to helping young children build a strong foundation for movement and mobility.
I take immense pride in partnering with families to support their children in reaching their gross motor milestones. Every child’s journey is unique, and I strive to provide compassionate, individualized care that empowers both children and their caregivers. My goal is to make therapy a fun, engaging, and rewarding experience while equipping families with the tools they need to foster their child’s development through play.
I am truly honored to play a role in these early years, helping little ones gain confidence in their movement and setting the stage for lifelong success. Witnessing littles meeting their goals never gets old!

Fun Facts
I was born on an Air Force base in Wiesbaden, Germany. Visiting Germany is high on my bucket list.
I had 3 babies in 3.5 years, so I’m a young child “pro” in more ways than one!
My husband and I love to travel. Before having kids we visited Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Bermuda, The Dominican Republic, Greece and Turks and Caicos.
I teach as an adjunct professor at Old Dominion University in their Graduate PT program.
