Professional Bio
I became serious about pelvic health after the birth of my first child, although I started working in a pelvic & orthopedic PT clinic as a tech in college. I am currently studying to sit for the Certified Lactation Counseling Exam. My career aspiration is to inform everyone of what is "common, but not normal," and to provide care to anyone who seeks it out.
