I treat patients from birth on up but the majority of those I treat are females with chronic pain conditions including abdominal pain and pelvic issues. Those patients who have struggled with traditional physical therapy to address their concerns are those who commonly come into my practice.
Professional History:
After receiving my BS in PE with a Fitness Emphasis & Spanish, I worked as a Director of Corporate Wellness in San Francisco, CA for 4 years. That eventually led me to pursue a MS in Physical Therapy and develop my skills as a Holistic Physical Therapist which I have done for the past 25 years. Throughout my journey as a physical therapist, I have trained in Myofascial Release (MFR) and Craniosacral Therapy (CST) through many levels of advanced coursework. The addition of Visceral Manipulation (VM) and Healing From The Core (HFC) have blended with my skills in Pelvic Rehab/Pelvic Health to create a unique whole body approach to all those I have the pleasure to work with on their healing journey.
I work with women who struggle with abdominal pain and bloating, low energy, and weight gain.

I’ll help you take the confusion and overwhelm out of minimizing toxic exposures, + optimize your body’s natural detox pathways.
I’ve been in the Health & Wellness industry for over 15 years and I believe that minimizing your toxic load, while turning up your body’s innate detox capacity is a missing link when it comes to optimizing your health.
Why? Toxins are linked to every chronic health issue and many practitioners aren’t talking about reducing your exposure to them.
This is where I come in.
I merge the most current environmental research with a systemic approach to help you lower exposures to harmful chemicals hiding out in your everyday routine.
You will feel empowered and informed about everyday toxic exposure and be able to shop with confidence for yourself and your family.
