A strong pelvic floor is important for overall health and well-being. It is the foundation of a variety of bodily functions for women and men, providing support to several organs and playing a crucial role in urinary and bowel continence, sexual function, and stability of the pelvis and spine. The day-to-day physical frustration resulting from a weakened pelvic floor can have wide-ranging impacts including bladder issues, bowel pain, chronic low back and hip pain, sexual frustration, and social anxiety.

I believe that compassion, empathy and understanding are critical to the healing experience. I know that many symptoms that are often chalked up to pregnancy, postpartum, or age are treatable and improvable. Whether you are male or female, pregnant or postpartum, or suffering from age-related or undiagnosed pain, pelvic floor can be steadily strengthened through a tailored, individualized treatment plan.

I am here and I am honored to be a part of your healing journey.

I grew up in a small fishing village in Southern Sweden overlooking the Baltic Sea. My journey to become a physical therapist and my passion for helping people began early in life, after my beloved grandfather had a massive stroke. Watching his healing process inspired me to lend a helping hand to people in need. I started PT school in 2004 and have pursued my dream of wanting to be a great listener and healer ever since.

In my years working in PT clinics and pediatric settings, I came to understand that the pelvic floor remains largely overlooked. What sometimes presents as an orthopedic issue is often compounded by a pelvic floor issue. It is my goal to look holistically at the individual.

I’ve given birth to three children and live an active lifestyle and know the frustration of leakage and the inadequacy of traditional care. I began to do more research and understood how pelvic floor therapy can treat a variety of issues in both men and women. I discovered there were ways I could help.

Being diagnosed with lupus in early 2023, I experienced firsthand a long and often grueling recovery. I dealt with dismissive doctors and endless tests. Eventually I found a team who listened and developed a treatment plan that was intrisic to me.

My first Pelvic Floor course opened up new insights and treatment methods for the issues some of my PT patients complained of, including issues I experienced myself. It became an “Aha!” moment and it changed my life both physically and professionally. My passion for promoting the awareness and importance of pelvic health to women and men started from that day. I have since completed many courses and certifications while being mentored by experienced pelvic floor therapists to learn how the pelvis interacts with the rest of the body. The majority of my practice was completed in the NYU Pelvic Health Department.

I have found my greatest professional fulfillment in pelvic health. I am honored to be able to do the work I do.
