Our expertise includes pregnancy and postpartum care, birth preparation, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, and pregnancy/postpartum-related pain and instability. We believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to feel strong, capable, and confident in her body throughout the perinatal journey, and we are committed to providing individualized care to help you achieve this goal.

We approach pediatric care creatively, with a strong focus on neuromotor development and parent education. We offer flexible appointment options, including office, home/community, and aquatic therapy visits, as well as intensive therapy options based on availability.
