“ I’ve always been amazed with the resilience of the human body. I became increasingly interested in pelvic health in my early 20s when I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I underwent surgeries or treatment of this issue.  Scar tissue was removed however I was still experiencing pelvic and lower abdominal pain. I was treated by a pelvic health PT and astonished by all the unique self care skills I was taught. My symptoms improved!From then on I knew I wanted to become a Pelvic Health PT. I enjoy empowering  patients by teaching them about their bodies and ways to recover; whether it is urinary/ bowel issues, pre/postpartum care to constipation. I want to be the provider who tells you ‘It's NOT all in your head’.”
