Frequently Asked Questions

While sessions are not billed directly to insurance, I’m happy to provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan. Many insurance plans place limitations on physical therapy — such as restrictions on treatment approaches or the number of visits allowed — which can make it difficult to provide the depth and individualized care this work requires. By working outside of insurance, I am able to offer more personalized sessions and integrate various nervous system approaches without those restrictions.

Absolutely. I would be happy to connect for a 15-minute discovery call to answer your questions and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

The best way to set up a discovery call is to fill out the “Contact Us” form. Within a business day, I’ll send you a text and we can set up a time that is convenient for you.

A pelvic floor assessment is a way of evaluating how the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor are functioning. This may include looking at posture, breathing, movement patterns, and sometimes an internal pelvic exam to assess the muscles more directly. Internal assessment is never required, but can be a very important piece of information to figure out the full picture of your pelvic health. You are encouraged to begin with an external or whole-body approach first if you feel hesitant about an internal assessment.

Pelvic floor therapy is essential for pregnancy comfort, birth preparation, and postpartum healing. A pelvic floor assessment is highly recommended in the second or third trimester so we have time to address any findings and support your body as it prepares for birth. Please note that in the first trimester, I do not provide hands-on treatment or Somatic Experiencing, but rather discuss symptom relief strategies through lifestyle and gentle movement instead.

After birth, it is generally recommended to begin care around 2 weeks after a vaginal delivery and about 4 weeks after a cesarean birth, depending on how you’re healing. Home visits can be a wonderful option for early postpartum care, allowing you to receive gentle support in the comfort of your own space.

Through visceral manipulation, myofascial release, and Somatic Experiencing, treatment focuses on improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, restoring mobility of the uterus and surrounding tissues, improving the mobility and function of the body’s natural detoxification organs (especially the liver, kidneys, and gut), and helping regulate the nervous system to manage cortisol/adrenaline spikes and regulate hormones. This work supports the body in resolving the impacts of past injuries, inflammation, or trauma that may be affecting pelvic function and fertility.

Fertility is influenced by many factors, including circulation, hormonal balance, nervous system regulation, and the health and mobility of the pelvic organs. Alongside your medical protocols, my approach supports fertility by optimizing the fascial mobility and alignment of the organs in the abdomen and pelvis, and supporting the nervous system to feel safe enough for the process of conception.

I recommend that you come in clothing that is comfortable and loose-fitting. We may be doing some movement or body-work, and loose fitting clothing is typically the most comfortable for these treatments.

Yes. I help men overcome erectile dysfunction, urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage (including after prostate surgery), chronic pelvic or testicular pain, prostatitis-type symptoms, constipation and gut issues, tailbone pain, and groin or hip tension from stress or injury.

Your first visit starts with a conversation about your history and goals, followed by an external movement, breathing, and musculoskeletal assessment. If internal assessment is deemed beneficial to assess and treat the issue, it will be explained in advance and is always optional.

The number of sessions you will need will vary depending on how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms and the complexity of your case. Typically, 8-12 sessions are recommended for symptom relief, however in some cases it may take longer.

We will go over your Plan of Care at the end of your Initial Evaluation. The vast majority of clients greatly improve by committing to the Plan of Care, versus scheduling single sessions “here and there”.

Typically, I will recommend a frequency of 1-2 times a week for the first few weeks as we collaborate on improving your quality of life and reducing your symptoms, then we can space out your sessions to every 2-3 weeks as you feel better!

Many patients continue wellness care after their primary symptoms have been resolved. After completing a plan of care, you receive continued access to the plan-of-care session rate of $195 which allows for convenient wellness follow-ups.

The Plan of Care package provides you with seven 55-minute sessions that never expire. That being said, I highly recommend that you follow the recommended scheduling plan that we discuss during your first visit to provide you with the best results.

You are encouraged to schedule additional sessions at the discounted rate after your Plan of Care is complete for continued symptom relief and wellness care.

I will outline what the Plan of Care looks like at the end of your Initial Evaluation to address your symptoms at the root. If I believe you need additional support outside of my scope of practice, I will refer you to the appropriate provider.

You also have the option of scheduling single follow up sessions without a plan of care package. The rate is $225 per 55-minute in-office session if you decide to go this route.
