They completed a clinical rotation at Sullivan Physical Therapy in Austin, TX, a nationally renowned clinic specializing exclusively in pelvic health, where they were trained by WCS certified therapists. They have also taken multiple continuing education courses to further advance their skills, including courses on Sex and Sexuality in PT practice and Guidelines for Prenatal Fitness. They then received mentoring from the experienced staff at CTPT in Fresno, experts in pelvic health for over 35 years.

Their approach to treatment involves primarily using manual therapy techniques such as trigger point release, connective tissue manipulation, visceral mobilizations, and myofascial release to address tension-based conditions like urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and pelvic pain. For laxity/weakness-based conditions like stress incontinence, prolapse, and diastasis recti, they focus on strengthening exercises and behavior modification. They also provide treatment for constipation, GI discomfort, and fecal incontinence.

They prioritize trauma-informed care and place a strong emphasis on patient education to empower their patients and promote their independence. Their areas of interest include chronic pain, chronic inflammatory conditions, nutrition, and healing from trauma.
