ServicesConditions I commonly treat.
Many symptoms overlap between systems of the body. My approach looks at how these areas work together to restore comfort and balance.
Conditions I TreatConditions Rooted in Whole-Body Imbalance
I treat any condition that has not improved with traditional physical therapy or allopathic medicine or even functional or naturopathic medicine. My skills are most helpful for resolving mechanical issues or emotional components of physical symptoms.
Explore the areas below to learn more about how I approach each condition.
I treat people of all ages and all genders.

Conditions TreatedDiastasis Recti
I utilize Visceral Manipulation to close diastasis recti.
Visceral Manipulation is uniquely able to close a diastasis recti in just a few treatments. Many therapists and doctors do not know about this technique for this condition, but it is true, and I do it every day. It is not magic, once the gap is closed, the abdominal muscles will still need to be trained. Other factors such as poor breathing or body mechanics may also need to be addressed for full recovery from diastasis recti. Breastfeeding and umbilical hernia can prevent visceral manipulation from closing a diastasis recti.
Conditions TreatedScar Tissue
I utilize Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Viscerovascular Manipulation, Visceroemotional Relationships, Craniosacral Therapy, and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy to improve tissue mobility and appearance of any scar tissue including, but not limited to: Surgical scar tissue, adhesions, c-section, vaginal delivery tears or episiotomy, breast surgeries such as breast reduction, breast reconstruction.
Conditions TreatedPost-Partum Recovery
I utilize Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Viscerovascular Manipulation, Visceroemotional Relationships, Craniosacral Therapy, and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy to close diastasis recti (DRA); restore pelvic floor muscle function; improve organ position, prolapse, mobility, and function; improve scar tissue mobility (c-section, vaginal/perineum), breastfeeding difficulties.
Conditions TreatedInfertility
I utilize Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Viscerovascular Manipulation, Visceroemotional Relationships, Craniosacral Therapy, and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy to improve mechanical restrictions that may be affecting the ability of the body to conceive, implant, and maintain pregnancy.
Conditions TreatedPregnancy
I utilize Craniosacral Therapy and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy to create space in the pregnant body for mom & baby.
Conditions TreatedPediatrics
I utilize Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Viscerovascular Manipulation, Visceroemotional Relationships, Craniosacral Therapy, and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy to improve conditions that affect children 0-7 years including trauma from in utero positioning, birth trauma, torticollis, latching issues, digestive issues, constipation.
Please note: I do not do traditional pelvic floor physical therapy for children.
How this differs from traditional PT
This is not traditional, exercise-based pelvic floor physical therapy.
If you are looking for exercise-based treatment, strengthening programs, or machine-based biofeedback, please visit the allied provider section for other resources.
What techniques do you use?
I use a manual, whole-body approach that is designed to restore mobility and balance to the internal systems of the body. Focusing on the whole body, these advanced techniques address the root cause of dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms:
- Visceral Manipulation
- Neural Manipulation
- Viscerovascular Manipulation
- Visceroemotional Relationships
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Craniosacral Fascial Therapy
- Negative Pressure Cupping
Can we strengthen my pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a dynamic system of muscles that responds to the whole body. By improving visceral restrictions, scar tissue, and bony alignment, pelvic floor strength may improve, but we will not be focused on traditional pelvic floor muscle strengthening or Kegels.
Pelvic floor muscles need so much more than strength to do their job well. They need endurance, coordination, and anticipation. The best way to train the pelvic floor muscles for strength, endurance, coordination, and anticipation is hypopressive exercise or low pressure fitness. Please visit the allied provider section for hypopressive/low pressure fitness resources.
Can we strengthen my core?
Your core is a dynamic system of muscles that responds to the whole body. By improving visceral restrictions, scar tissue, and breathing mechanics, core strength may improve, but we will not be focused on traditional core strengthening exercises. Please visit the allied provider section for more resources.
