Cathy Stephenson

BA, Wellesley College; MS, BS Allied Health, Physical Therapy. Long Island University; MSW, New York University; MSAc Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine; Academy for Creative Coaches, Cert. Life Coach As the founding member of Well In Montclair, I aim to provide competent care for physical and emotional issues for all members of my community. I want to establish a system of integrative services that allows our members to be heard “well” in all areas of healthcare.

As a team, our mission is to collaborate with members of our wellness community to find ways to heal from issues related to physical impairment, stressors, and restrictions that prevent optimal living. Our goal is to improve healing outcomes, find preventative methods to maintain longevity, enhance mood, improve coping mechanisms, foster meaningful connections, and enhance both physical and psychosomatic well-being.

I have been a physical therapist for nearly 30 years. My early years of patient care included neurologic, AIDS/HIV home care, and orthopedic outpatient post-surgical and trauma rehabilitation. I have treated various conditions related to pain—acute and chronic, movement dysfunction, and post-surgical issues.

My approach focuses not just on presenting physical issues but also on identifying other structures that may be affected. Are there past issues, incidents, or emotional states creating roadblocks in the healing process? How can we best support the individual on their journey? This could include treating pain from a post-surgical orthopedic condition or postpartum pain related to childbirth. Gathering all the relevant information is essential for assisting the individual in their healing process.

As a women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapist, I enjoy working with women of all ages. This is a natural extension of orthopedic care, addressing dysfunction during all stages of a woman’s life—menstruation, pregnancy (if applicable), and menopause. I am skilled in assessing conditions and determining appropriate interventions, offering internal or external manual therapy, education, and prescriptive exercises.

I am also a trained life coach at Well In Montclair. Coaching is a passion of mine as it offers a collaborative approach to helping individuals explore situations, solve problems, navigate relationship issues, or gain insight into current behavioral patterns. Together, we redefine how or why an individual may be struggling with problem resolution.

In coaching sessions, we address issues such as health concerns, stress management, life transitions, parenting challenges, and communication difficulties within relationships. Overall, my goal is to help our members feel better physically, emotionally, and even aesthetically. I aim to create a space for healing that is welcoming to all ages, genders, and lifestyles. I am proud of our team’s commitment to serving the Well In Montclair community with intention and heart.

Magin Shumate

I’m Magin Shumate, Practice Manager at Well In Montclair. I’ve spent over half of my life volunteering in Ghana, where I tutored and participated in outreach programs in local communities. During my time there, I worked in a healthcare facility for a year, which was both challenging and rewarding, sparking my passion for healthcare.

I’m a people person, but I also enjoy the technical side of the business. After completing managerial training, I realized that I could combine both skill sets in my role at Well In Montclair.

In addition to my managerial responsibilities, I am trained as a technician for the aesthetic side of our practice. I work directly with clients during Emsella or Emsculpt therapies to ensure the best experience possible. My goal is to ensure every client receives top-notch care, smooth scheduling, and hassle-free insurance interactions.

Schuyler "Skye" McIlvaine

Bachelor in Exercise Science – Shawnee State University
Doctorate in Physical Therapy – Seton Hall University.
Post-doctoral training in Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation from Herman & Wallace Institute, Usui Reiki, Functional Movement Assessments, Functional Manual Therapy, Functional Corrective Exercise, and NASM Personal Training Certification.

I am an Orthopedic and Women’s Health Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, and Personal Trainer. I treat a variety of conditions, including pre- and post-op orthopedic surgery, spine, joint, muscle, tendon, or ligament pain, and pre-and postpartum recovery. I also address pelvic floor and core conditions, such as bladder or sexual dysfunction, balance difficulties, fibromyalgia, and other neurologic conditions affecting posture, balance, and stability.

My holistic approach focuses on the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Each client receives a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root causes of the problem, listen to the client’s concerns/experiences, and develop an individualized program to address the symptoms. The plan may include manual therapy of soft tissue, myofascial release, cupping, joint mobilization, corrective exercise, strength training, neuromuscular training, performance enhancement, and injury prevention.

I enjoy helping women regain their personal power and enjoyment of life. This is achieved by rebuilding strength and confidence and resolving pain or embarrassing symptoms. Whether recovering from postpartum pain, diastasis recti, c-section, bladder leakage, or sexual dysfunction, I guide women through pain relief and help them return to strength training, recreation, or sport.

Bernardo Garcia

I’m a dedicated physical therapist with a wealth of knowledge and experience, now bringing my expertise to Well in Montclair. A proud Jersey City native, I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Dominican University, where I discovered my passion for helping others regain strength and mobility.

I have extensive domestic and international experience, including working with professional and semi-professional rugby teams to enhance athletic performance and aid recovery. My expertise has also made me a trusted therapist for celebrities and influencers in Los Angeles. Additionally, I’ve worked with partners at Goldman Sachs in the New York area, focusing on tailored rehabilitation and wellness strategies.

Certified in Vestibular and Concussion Management and Dry Needling, I have specialized skills to address a range of conditions. My holistic approach prioritizes each patient’s unique needs to ensure they receive the highest level of care. I especially enjoy working with highly motivated individuals eager to return to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, I am passionate about outdoor activities like snowboarding, skiing, tennis, golf, and running. A fan of adventure, I love camping and exploring new places on road trips. My commitment to wellness extends beyond my profession, as I embody a healthy, active lifestyle that I hope inspires my patients. Whether recovering from an injury or aiming to improve physical performance, I’m here to support you on your journey to optimal health.

Alicia Sant'Angelo

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a minor in Physical Therapy. These credentials plus my experience allow me to effectively use touch to find and address pain. Combining a psychological and orthopedic approach with Chinese Medicine enhances my treatments, providing profound effects.

With my background in Psychology, Massage Therapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I treat the body and mind as a whole. Being able to address the psychosomatic component of most conditions truly allows my patients to reach optimal results with their treatment. Feeling better both physically and emotionally, is key. So think of acupuncture for the management of pain, stress, anxiety, grief, insomnia, depression, digestive issues, immune system, male and female fertility, sexual function, and much more.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can assist with a variety of conditions, offering patients the opportunity to improve their well-being. The whole family benefits when each individual feels their best. My goal is for patients to feel safe, comfortable, and in control during treatments. I genuinely care about each patient and how best to make their lives happier and healthier. My patients should expect professionalism, care, thoroughness, honesty, and results when working with me. A pleasant experience is a must.

I take the time to listen to your symptoms and concerns, then connect them with your lab results, supplements, medications, and lifestyle to create a personalized plan for optimizing your wellness.

I treat a wide range of health issues, including autoimmune disease, gut health, cardiovascular conditions, hormonal imbalances, mood disorders, weight loss, and prenatal/postpartum health. My approach is to listen with an open heart and mind, aiming to develop a plan that’s easy to follow and ensures success.

Together, we may modify your diet, add supplements, or introduce mindfulness practices. It’s important for you to understand how these factors affect your health so you can better advocate for yourself when working with other medical professionals.
