Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies:
The appropriate care and management of individuals with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis have been a passion of mine since I first began working in pelvic health, and through all the experiences I have been so fortunate to have had patients I have learned the importance of a holistic, evidence-based, patient-centered, team approach to the management of these horrendous and all too often misunderstood disorders.
Coming from a strong neurorehabilitation background and having been trained as a yoga teacher as well, I prioritize the treatment not only of the musculoskeletal system via flexibility training, strength training (mainly via pilates and yoga), manual therapies (including myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, and dry needling, externally and internally if needed) and functional mobility but also the nervous system as a whole. I am a firm believer that the autonomic nervous system plays an intimate role in the management of chronic pain and functional gastrointestinal disorders and use meditation, pranayama, yoga, dry needling, grounding techniques, myofascial release, and aerobic conditioning to improve the functioning of the ANS. I also utilize visceral mobilization in my practice but have not undergone the advanced trainings as of this date (i.e. Barral Institute, Herman & Wallace, etc.).
Above all, providing each and every patient with the education that they need regarding these diseases to make informed decisions, along with providing trauma-informed care, are the two most important cornerstones of my practice. As I say to all of my patients, although you are in my clinic, you are the boss of your own body, and I will always be respectful of your wishes.

Primero en aclarar todos esos acrónimos que denotan mis credenciales: Doctor en Terapia Física, Especialista Clínico Neurológico Certificado (APTA), Especialista Certificado en Rehabilitación Pélvica (Herman & Wallace), Profesor de Yoga Registrado (Yoga Alliance 200 horas), Certificado de Punción Seca (Master Punción Seca).
La atención y el manejo adecuados de las personas con endometriosis y/o adenomiosis ha sido una de mis pasiones desde que comencé a trabajar en salud pélvica. A través de todas las experiencias que he tenido la suerte de haber tenido con los pacientes, he aprendido la importancia de un enfoque de equipo holístico, basado en la evidencia y centrado en el paciente para el tratamiento de estos trastornos horrendos y, con demasiada frecuencia, incomprendidos.
Con una sólida formación en la rehabilitación neurológica y con una formación como profesora de yoga, priorizo el tratamiento no solo del sistema musculoesquelético a través del entrenamiento de flexibilidad, entrenamiento de fuerza (principalmente a través de pilates y yoga), terapias manuales (incluida la liberación miofascial, masaje y punción seca, externalmente o internalmente si es necesario) y movilidad funcional, pero también el sistema nervioso en su conjunto. Creo firmemente que el sistema nervioso autónomo juega un papel íntimo en el manejo del dolor crónico y los trastornos gastrointestinales funcionales y utilizo la meditación, pranayama, yoga, punción seca, técnicas de conexión a tierra, liberación miofascial y acondicionamiento aeróbico para mejorar el funcionamiento del ANS. También utilizo la movilización visceral en mi práctica, pero no he recibido entrenamientos avanzados a esta fecha (es decir, Barral Institute, Herman & Wallace, etc.).
Sobre todo, brindar a todos y cada uno de los pacientes la educación que necesitan con respecto a estas enfermedades para tomar decisiones informadas junto con brindar atención informada sobre el trauma son los dos pilares más importantes de mi práctica. Como digo a todos mis pacientes – aunque esta en mi oficina, siempre Usted es la jefa (o jefe, dependiendo en su idendidad de género) y siempre respecto sus deseos.
