About Me
I am a pelvic health physiotherapist and women's intimacy coach. For over 27 years I have been working with my clients to help them enjoy their life and relationships.
And like most of you, I wear many hats. I am also:
- A wife
- A mom
- A daughter
- A sister
- A colleague
- A friend
I have realized I can't be all those things in a way that is meaningful to me without my health.
It started after I turned 45. I felt things starting to change and I knew I wasn’t as healthy as I could be. Like many of my friends, I was too tired, despite going to bed at a good time. I saw the pounds creeping up, and I felt stiff and sore most mornings. I felt like I was always busy: with work and family and community activities. All good things, but not enough time for myself. I knew I wasn’t healthy but I had no time or energy to change it, and when I tried things that worked in my 20s, I felt more tired, more sore. It was a double edged sword.
I knew I needed to make changes, but I wasn't sure how. There is so much compelling health advice out there. I needed to become a student of my own health and really evaluate where I was at.
I decided to make a shift in my mindset and acknowledge that this is a unique time in life. I decided to pursue health, in all senses of the word: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental. It has not been a straight road, but rather, a winding path full of twists and turns. I am still on this journey, and I believe there is no final destination. I don’t think we are every truly “there” but rather we pursue health throughout the stages of life in front of us.

Through a total lifestyle approach that includes optimizing your pelvic health alongside enjoyable exercise, good nutrition and self-care such as sleep, mindfulness and other restorative habits.
