I didn’t begin my career as a pelvic floor specialist. I started out as a doctoral student at Ithaca College’s school of physical therapy. There I gained a solid foundation in human anatomy with a focus on the musculoskeletal system. With diploma in hand, I ventured out west to begin practicing orthopedic physical therapy at an outpatient clinic in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was there I healed patients with personalized exercise prescriptions, dry needling and fascial release and manipulation. But my intuition told me there was more I could do for my patients. But to do more I had to learn more. So I enrolled in advanced specialized pelvic floor physical therapy training from the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and took birth healing courses from the Institute of Birth Healing. What happened next was life changing for both me and my patients.
Soon women, children and men seeking relief from often chronic pain and dysfunction of their pelvic floor filled my schedule. Time and again, my patients had a story to tell. So I listened and learned. My treatments became more holistic and intuitive and more effective and my waiting list grew longer.
There was just one problem. Working at an insurance based clinic limited the type of treatments I could provide. Often the treatments my patients needed the most!
It was time to move forward. To find my own way. To be the kind of doctor who digs deep. Who sees you and hears you and has confidence in your body’s ability to heal from within. It was time for Pelvic Wisdom.
I weave the wisdom of my mentors, Tami Lynn Kent and Martin Beaudoin of Beaudoin Bodywork with my own intuition to create healing session including hands on and hands in bodywork, visceral manipulation, trauma release and meditations to help you find long lasting healing. I specialize in trauma healing, pelvic pain, conception and infertility treatment, pregnancy and postpartum care, endometriosis management and surgical healing with scar tissue remediation.
Now 9 year into treating pelvic floor dysfunction and creating my own intuitive style of work at Pelvic Wisdom, I can finally say that I feel fortunate enough to have found my life’s work, my calling. I look forward to hold space for you on your healing journey.
