I started PT school in 2002 , driven by my passion to help people. I soaked up all the information from 4 years of schooling and was ready to heal the world! One day, on my way to my clinical internship site,, I had an accident and ended up with a fractured tailbone. I was told that there wasn’t much to be done and I just had to let it heal. After waiting for months, I continued to feel pain everytime I sat down. I was given a steroid shot in my tailbone which did not help and was later told that I just had to live with this pain.

I started practicing as a physical therapist in 2009 and like most new graduates, I focused my practice on treating back, neck, knee pain etc. And even though I helped people with pain everyday, I could never help myself. My tailbone pain slowly spread and morphed into vaginal pain and urinary control problems. I was a 26 year old woman living in pain everyday and was never referred to a pelvic floor PT. Only solutions offered were more shots and then surgery to remove the tailbone altogether!

Many years later I met a physical therapist in one of my professional seminars who mentioned that she specialized in pelvic floor therapy and that I might benefit from it. I started seeing her later that week.

Pelvic floor therapy quite literally changed my life. Both physically and professionally. Not only did my tailbone pain improve but my urinary leakage resolved completely and within a few short weeks. Like I said, it changed my life - so much so that I signed up for my first course to get trained in pelvic floor physical therapy. As I learned all about how important the pelvis is to the body, I was hooked. I took as many courses as I could, went to experienced pelvic floor therapists for mentorship and learned through practice.
