About We Rock the Spectrum Eagan
Linda and Meaghan are thrilled to bring We Rock the Spectrum – Eagan to Minnesota!
Linda and Meaghan are a mother-daughter team with a lifelong pursuit of opportunity and community inclusion for people of all abilities. Linda moved from her hometown of St. Paul to Milwaukee to pursue her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Marquette University. She opened a pediatric therapy practice in 1998 and has since dedicated her whole career to serving families with neurodiverse children. Her practice has expanded the scope of services to include activities such as adapted sporting events, sensory friendly family events and in 2020, she opened We Rock the Spectrum – Milwaukee.
Meaghan moved from her hometown of Milwaukee to St. Paul to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Wellness from The University of St. Thomas. She has been working alongside Linda’s pediatric practice since 2012 co-creating and directing an annual adaptive triathlon for children and adults with special needs. Meaghan’s love of coaching and fostering healthy communities has propelled her in her various pursuits including coaching collegiate rugby, developing youth enrichment programming, and teaching the value of family-centered health and wellness. Meaghan has additionally helped Linda develop and promote We Rock the Spectrum-Milwaukee.
The dream to open a We Rock the Spectrum in Minnesota blossomed as Meaghan laid down permanent roots in the Twin Cities area following her college graduation and sought to continue working alongside her mother in providing meaningful experiences for families and children of all abilities. Linda and Meaghan both have a deep love for Minnesota and are passionate about bringing the We Rock the Spectrum experience to the Twin Cities area.
Together, we are thrilled to bring this amazing play experience to Eagan, MN. We have seen the amazing impact that recreational fun and inclusive play can bring to the lives of children and young adults. We look forward to meeting all of the wonderful families in the Twin Cities area and sharing this experience with our community.
