She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Arizona and a Master in Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine’s Institute of Physical Therapy. With a belief in the power of physical therapy to bring about positive change in people’s lives, she chose this profession and has been dedicated to it for over 20 years. Recognizing the immense impact physical therapy can have on improving health, she founded Calyx Therapeutics in San Francisco, a center that focuses on holistic rehabilitation and wellness, with an emphasis on physical therapy for pelvic dysfunction, postpartum mothers, and chronic pain sufferers.

Throughout her career, she has undergone extensive training in the field of pelvic rehabilitation. Her approach to therapy combines various manual therapy techniques, including Fascial Counterstrain and Visceral Manipulation, with traditional manual therapy. Additionally, she incorporates instruction in Therapeutic Movement, which involves integrating the whole body with breathing techniques, such as yoga, Pilates, and Foundation Training.

Her passion lies in helping patients with conditions such as pelvic pain, low back pain, dyspareunia (pain with intercourse), urinary leaking (incontinence), post-surgical pain (following abdominal or back surgery), abdominal adhesions, postpartum issues, and infertility.
