I want women to be able to connect with their body in a deep and meaningful way to solve their health concerns AND to be able to optimize their health and well-being moving forward.
How Total Body Systems Approach Developed
I could write a book about the number of times standard medical interventions failed to provide a root cause solution to something that I or my children faced over the years. From this experience of being discounted and unheard I started to learn all that I could about the human system, nutrition and all of the facets of living that impact human health. I vowed to be the kind of provider I would want for my two girls.
Over the years, I learned that symptoms are often just an alarm and NOT the root cause of pain/dysfunction. I learned that your most valuable real estate is your organs and because they share neural connections with the musculoskeletal system it is important to consider the whole human system when solving complex pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, hip pain and more.
I began to focus on women's health in about 2016 and began to take a deep dive into pain science, mind/body connection, hormonal health and functional nutrition to understand the whole gamut of root causes that may impact my clients. I received my Performance Enhancement Certification in 2018 and certifications in coaching for endometriosis, perimenopause, and pelvic pain thereafter.
I have worked to study functional nutrition, visceral manipulation, neural manipulation and more to round out my PT background in women's health and pelvic floor treatment. Integrating an understanding of the human system as a whole let's me see patterns that often are missed in traditional medicine.
Then, when my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes I had to put it all together form my daughter's health and my own. Her resiliency and health was pushed to the maximum and as a mom, my stress levels and lack of sleep toppled my health practices over in an instant.
I now not only help women optimize their health during pregnancy and postpartum, pelvis floor dysfunction and with complex pain, I am an advocate to push forward the needle of maternal health and well-being for moms of kids with chronic illnesses like Type 1 Diabetes. When maternal health is a priority, kids are healthier!

MY STORY:
My most memorable introduction to the broken health care system for women occurred when I was the age of 9 when an ortho doc told me to start acting more like a girl and play with dolls so I didn't need knee replacements at 20! I was afraid to walk for an entire summer! In high school I would pass out from menstrual cramps and was told "the pain was in my head."
In college chronic S-I joint pain lead me back to the doctor's office where the campus MD checked my range of motion and told me I was fine. I knew enough about anatomy and physiology, and developed my own treatment plan and resolved my pain.
Fast forward to my first pregnancy where I self treated pelvic pain during and after pregnancy. There was no talk of pelvic floor therapy or any other solution other than, all of the feelings I had, could not have a medical origin.
In 2020, my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. We left the hospital blindsided. Within the first few weeks, my husband said he said, "You were designed to be a type 1 diabetic mom." He was referring to my deep and vast knowledge in nutrition.
I quickly took on a child who had an A1c of 16 at diagnosis to an A1c of 5.7 in 6 months and have been able to help her stay between 5.7-6.4.
I now use my expertise in women's health and understanding of blood sugar to coach women raising kids with chronic illness like Type 1 diabetes because without optimal maternal health a child's long term health is at risk.
“You only have one body. Be gracious to it.”

Coaching packages incorporate pain science education/intervention, relaxation techniques, nutritional support and breath/general movement education and other holistic tools to help you reach your goals but NOT individualized skilled physical therapy.
