What you should know about me:
I believe in providing customized treatment plans that addresses their chronic pain and dysfunction from head to toe. Patients are seen both pre- and post-endometriosis excision surgery. I am not treating ‘pelvic pain’, rather I am treating an entire person with chronic overlapping pain conditions that all must be addressed in order to reduce their pelvic pain. I incorporate manual therapy, visceral mobilization, pelvic floor muscle release techniques, corrective exercises, photobiomodulation alongside compassionate 1:1 care for 1-2 hour sessions.

What you should know about me:
We typically approach endometriosis with manual therapy in conjunction with exercise/movement/behavioral changes. We scope inside and outside of the pelvis to treat endometriosis meaning we do not do just an internal exam although that is very often a part of treatment. We also utilize visceral mobilization, myofascial release, and connective manipulation as needed. We believe in inclusive and patient centered care and want are patients to feel that they are in a safe space to heal.
