Professional Bio
Sonya Worthy Okolo, PT is a native of Asheville, NC. As a graduate of University of Maryland Baltimore, she has over 25 years of experience and loves what she does! After her own (O.A.S.I.S.) birth trauma, an interest was sparked in pelvic floor therapy and maternal health care. She dreamed of better for herself and others…a place of ease, prevention, and recovery.
Sonya has a multi-system skill set that includes functional & sports-specific training, advanced manual therapy including Visceral Mobilization, Myofascial Release, and Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue & Joint Mobilization. With extensive postgraduate pelvic training from The Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehab Institute and coursework from some of the greatest leaders in the field, she began exclusively specializing in pelvic health in 2016. Also, as a trained Birth Doula and certified in Mercier Therapy, a spectrum of care is available from pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum & beyond.
Using a holistic model, Sonya is intuitively lead as she applies evidence-based care to address the “drivers” of symptoms. She is a strong believer in mind-body connection and supports an integrative approach to healthcare and multi-disciplinary collaboration. Born out of personal experience, Oasis offers a safe, nurturing environment with a whole-body focus from a trauma informed perspective.
