She has now treated a variety of pelvic related diagnoses in both women and men such as: Urinary and fecal incontinence, Urinary frequency, pregnancy related symptoms, post-natal symptoms, Diastasis Rectus Abdominus (DRA), Constipation, Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), Vaginismus, and testicular pain.

She aims to help people find confidence in their own bodies and take control of their symptoms. She uses a variety of interventions to help people get back to a more fulfilling quality of life and back to activities they enjoy.

Some interventions she uses:

  • Manual techniques like strain/counterstrain and trigger point release, joint mobilizations
  • Education on body mechanics, anatomy and physiology, neurophysiology of pain
  • Guidance on behavioral changes to mitigate aggravating factors
