  • Prepare for delivery with confidence. No matter your birth plan or medical needs, I’ll empower you to know your body like never before. I’ll guide you, your partner, or your birth support team through the body’s changes in labor, delivery, and postpartum. I will help you optimize your positioning, discuss pain management, teach you how to relax your pelvic floor, and how to breathe and push more effectively. After delivery we will meet again to discuss your birth and the necessary follow-up care.

  • Whether this is your first or fourth pregnancy, I’m here to help your body through each trimester. We’ll address your needs, even if they change each session. As an orthopedic and pelvic health specialist, I’m prepared to treat any area of your body that needs support though your pregnancy.

  • During this formative time with your new baby, you’re my top priority. You and your body deserve some TLC after delivery. We will discuss your birth and assess your whole body to help you with whatever is needed.

  • Have you ever wondered why your friend had 12 weeks of PT after their knee surgery, and you weren’t offered any after your hysterectomy or cesarean birth? I want to change that, and help you recover faster and with better long-term outcomes. I’m here for you after any of the following surgeries and more:

    urogynecological (hysterectomy, pelvic organ repair, endometriosis excision, etc)

    pelvic

    lumbar

    hip

  • Physical therapy is so much more than help recovering from an injury or surgery. It’s about equipping you with the tools you need to move your body better, so you don’t have to fear a new activity or limit what you do. Not sure how physical therapy can help? Let's chat!

    I have additional training to work with individuals going through the menopause transition and for fertility support when you are trying to conceive.
