More About Emily

A closer look

Small shifts can change how you feel.

I have been a physical therapist for nearly 14 years and a pelvic floor therapist for the last five. I started specializing in pelvic floor therapy after the birth of my son. Unfortunately, he did not come out so easily. The birth caused substantial tearing, prolapse, and bowel and bladder issues.

I went to pelvic floor therapy myself, and it was life changing. The clinic where I received care took me in and helped train me to become a pelvic floor therapist. I had wonderful co-workers and an amazing experience. Another therapist there had been practicing pelvic floor therapy for more than 20 years and became my mentor, helping me get to where I am today.

I am so passionate about pelvic floor therapy because I have experienced these symptoms myself. I know the dread of needing to be near a bathroom and being scared you are not going to make it. I understand what it feels like to have prolapse and be terrified that your organs are falling out, and the need to constantly check that everything is okay and has not progressed. My own experience has made me dedicate my life to helping people overcome their symptoms.

I have received advanced training in overactive bladder, urinary urgency and frequency, stress urinary incontinence, pessaries, and pelvic pain. I am also a Pregnancy and Postpartum Certified Exercise Specialist and have taken training in pelvic floor birth preparation so others do not have to be in the same situation I was in.
