Southwest Florida Pelvic Health Clinic

I am a Certified Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist with over nine years of experience focusing solely on pelvic health. Originally from Canada, I received my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Athletic Injury Therapy from the University of Western Ontario. After moving to the United States (still a Canadian at heart!), I obtained my master’s degree in Physical Therapy from D’Youville College in Buffalo, New York. I soon realized that after three winters, I needed the beach. I relocated to Naples, Florida in 2017. Hello, SWFL! Working as a physical therapist for over 15 years, I found the need for pelvic floor physical therapy after the birth of my first child. I, myself, had pelvic floor dysfunction and was experiencing pain. After seeking out treatment and realizing the importance of pelvic health, I took courses to become a Certified Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. I fell in love with the subject matter and the idea of helping both men and women who are silently suffering from pelvic issues. While you’re under my care, my utmost priority is to maintain your comfort at all times. I will thoroughly explain what the assessment and treatment will involve (which will always include proper draping when necessary), give you alternative options, and obtain your consent before proceeding. You are in control and may withdraw consent at any time. When the pelvic floor muscles are assessed this way, the research has shown that the interventions carried out by a physical therapist for pelvic floor problems are highly successful and should be the first line of treatment for incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain.
