About me

As an orthopedic and pelvic PT and yoga therapist, I work with a variety of people who are looking to better understand their bodies and optimize health. Often people seek my services when they are experiencing distressing symptoms, but I also work with people who want to minimize the risk of symptoms. People with heritable connective tissue disorders are at a higher risk for injury and chronic pain, and women who carry children are at a higher risk for developing pelvic floor dysfunction, so these are two special populations that may benefit from PT or health coaching to minimize the risk of dysfunction and maximize health and resiliency.
