Why I became
a pelvic health PT.
I kept seeing the same pattern. Women would come to me after years — sometimes decades — of living with symptoms they'd been told were normal. Leaking when they ran. Pain during intimacy. Pressure that made them avoid activities they loved.
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects 1 in 3 women. It is one of the most common and most undertreated conditions in women's healthcare. And almost every form of it responds to skilled, evidence-based physical therapy.
I built my practice around two things: giving women the clinical care they'd been denied, and meeting them earlier — before they spent years wondering if something was wrong with them.
"The most important thing I can do isn't fix a pelvic floor — it's make a woman feel heard before we've touched anything clinical. Everything else follows from that."
