Meet Emily
When the relationships between your body's systems are under strain, the effects can show up in many different ways.
You enjoy learning and practicing alongside others, but you've never found a class designed specifically for your body or condition.
You've tried physical therapy before, but something still feels like it's missing.
You know stress affects your body, but no one has explained how.
Your breathing never quite feels free or natural.
You've been told to strengthen your deep core, but for some reason it is difficult.
You feel disconnected from your body.
You're looking for an approach that considers your whole system.
Healing often begins when we stop treating isolated symptoms and start understanding how the body's systems work together.

My approach to physical therapy was shaped not only by years of advanced clinical training, but by my own journey of healing after a serious accident in my early twenties. That experience taught me that lasting healing isn't about treating isolated symptoms—it's about understanding how the body's systems work together. Today, I combine advanced pelvic health physical therapy, manual therapy, and trauma-informed somatic practices to help people reconnect with their bodies and move toward lasting change.

If you've been treating one symptom after another but still don't feel fully well, the missing piece may be understanding how the body's systems work together. My approach combines physical therapy with trauma-informed somatic practices to explore the relationships between movement, breathing, the deep core, the nervous system, the organs, and lived experience.
