Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: I utilize a holistic approach when working with any patient dealing with complex pelvic pain. I believe that their story gives significant information into the components of care that need addressing (myofascial, psychosocial aspects, pain education, interdisciplinary management, and/or diet/lifestyle factors) and tailor their care based on their needs. I utilize many different aspects – hands on manual work, breathing techniques, exercises, and educational tools. I also have my Master’s degree in integrative health and nutrition, which allows me to provide more specific evidence based treatments in this area to this population.

Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: Patients with endometriosis have pain, muscle dysfunction, fascial restrictions, postural dysfunction. Patients with endometriosis present as a chronic case and many times have multiple surgeries (laparoscopic). Patients with endometriosis benefit from the combination of the approach of visceral mobilization, myofascial release, posture education, stretching exercise, strengthening exercise, pelvic floor therapy, breathing mechanics, and pressure management. I was lucky enough to treat a patient post excision surgery. The surgery was performed by Dr Ken Sinervo for thoracic endometriosis and the patient benefited from the diaphragm and pelvic floor release and improve coordination of muscles (diaphragm-pelvic floor piston).

Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies:
I take time to get to know my patients to bring compassion to their care. I will individualize care for each patient based on their symptoms, history and experiences. Treatment strategies that I may use include myofascial release, visceral manipulation, neuromuscular re-education, muscular relaxation, behavioral modification, and stress relaxation training. I am passionate about helping those with endometriosis find high quality care, and I will help build your team of providers to reach your goals.

Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies:
I enjoy working with patients who have been diagnosed with Endo while having a strong working relationship with their medical team (gynecologist, endo-specialist, etc.). I provide intravaginal and intrarectal Manual Therapy to best access the Pelvic Floor Muscles in addition to external manual therapy techniques including Soft-Tissue Massage as a holistic approach to best serve the patient. I enjoy incorporating breathing techniques and yoga-like movements into my patients’ plans of care as I have seen the amount of benefit it has on down-regulating the nervous system response to pain and central sensitization as most of my patients have been dealing with their pain for years.
