Individualized PELVIC HEALTH THERAPY servicing SETX
What if I told you pain with intercourse, bladder leakage, constipation, and abdominal and pelvic pain can successfully be treated with a holistic approach?
Holistic occupational therapy uses varying modalities and treatment methods to address your concerns that impact your ability to function the way you want in everyday life. Not limited to addressing the physical issues but also one’s activities from day to day. We examine areas of life such as digestive health, hormonal health, emotional wellbeing, and community participation, that can all contribute to pelvic health problems. We are inclusive to all pelvic health issues and bodies.
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU ARE
You may have been told its “Normal” to have leakage after having a baby. or “getting older”, Maybe you were told that after prostate cancer you would always leak. None of this is definitive and our goal is to help YOU define yourself NOT diagnoses defining you.

Your Pelvic Health Occupational Therapist and Owner in Beaumont, TX
As a mom of two little ones, I know how important it is to consider my clients busy lives when addressing pelvic floor issues.
Complicated exercise program and unrealistic expectations are not part of how I treat my clients. I consider all the factors including your family, lifestyle, interests, and hobbies. Along with addressing your mental health, your digestive health, and hormonal health.
After giving birth to my second child, I knew I wanted to help other woman navigate pregnancy and post-partum recovery in a way that felt supported and not overwhelming.
As experienced as I was as a practicing health professional for many years, I still found the information that is provided to birthing woman confusing. I felt unsupported and often left in the dark.
Once I began my career in pelvic health, I knew I found my home, helping others learn about what is happening with their bodies and how to help themselves.
Not long after I started my pelvic health career, I found that woman were not the only ones who needed help, Men do too.
And I quickly discovered that I loved supporting men with digestive health issues, urinary incontinence, and pre and post prostate cancer treatments.
So, I made it my life’s mission to become a pelvic floor therapist who support all pelvis and their owners to live their lives to the fullest.
It’s hard to make time for yourself when your taking care of others. I became an occupational therapist because I wanted to help people live their lives in a way that feels manageable and informed. This is why I have chosen to offer therapy in the convivence of your home and options for telehealth.
I invite you to book a free consultation below.
