I started practicing integratively when I began my career as an athletic trainer, in the early 1990’s. I was in sports medicine at the time, and my treatments were more effective when I included yoga and mindfulness. Now, nearly 30 years later, I’ve written multiple textbooks and papers on the topic, have spoken at dozens of conferences worldwide on the topic, and have trained hundreds of therapists and doctors.

Back when I started, using yoga and other integrative therapies was not only unheard of, I got lots of pushback from the industry and payors. Research has shown the integrative approach works, and for my patients in pain – it’s more effective and it gets longer-lasting results in shorter time frames.

I’m happy to have been a part of blazing this trail so that other therapists and doctors have a path to follow. And I’m thrilled to bring this integrative approach to every person and their pelvis in the Triad, and beyond. My mission is to make pelvic care accessible to everyone across the lifespan, through legislative advocacy, healthcare and social justice activism, through our clinical practice, and through giving back by teaching and mentoring the next generation.
