My Story

R

My journey into motherhood has taught me more than I ever expected about how amazing the female body is and how little we are educated about our bodies.

When I first began helping women 15 years ago as a Physical Therapist I would see every day the incredible ways our bodies work and heal. What I didn’t realize was there was so much more for me to learn. Things that I should have been taught as a teenager, but didn’t learn until I had to do my own healing.

My career as a PT began directly in women’s health. I helped teens to women in their eighties stop peeing their pants, eliminate pelvic pain (including painful sex and pain associated with endometriosis), build strength after birth & heal diastasis recti, and SO much more. I absorbed, I honed, I experimented with what I learned to find techniques and strategies that worked more efficiently for my patients. And even though I focused on the physical aspect of women’s health, I could see how lifestyle and diet were a component of how my patients responded. I continue to bring this same desire to learn and grow to my patients today, using my skills as a highly trained pelvic health specialist to treat you as a whole person.

We all bring different backgrounds to our health, but there are similarities and common threads through our menstrual cycle, fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum that we can use to guide your healing.

I believe you are the expert of your body, and I am here to help you tease out and address the issues that are causing your pelvic health problems.

Championing Maternal Health

As a passionate advocate for maternal health in New Hampshire, I am committed to improving the well-being of moms and families in our community. Recently, I had the honor of addressing legislators at a breakfast held for Kids Advocacy Day, where I spoke about the critical need for better support and access to maternal health care. This advocacy is close to my heart because I believe every mom deserves the resources to thrive, and pelvic floor health is an essential piece of that puzzle. Together, we can create lasting change for the health of mothers across the state. Watch the video to see me speak at New Hampshire's Kids Advocacy Day!
