Originally from the cold tundra of Minnesota, I am an Occupational Therapist who has been coming to Yuma during the winter seasons to provide occupational therapy services within the community at various Yuma rehabilitation facilities.   A couple years ago,  I found myself having difficulty finding a pelvic health provider during a struggle with embarrassing and stressful urinary incontinence and tailbone pain.  During my search for relief and conversations I had with pelvic floor occupational therapists and friends, I found a huge need for pelvic floor therapists, not just in Yuma but nationwide.  It was my ah-ha moment!  With that, I dove headfirst into applying my occupational therapy experience to this speciality, taking classes, collaborating, researching, and treating patients from the exciting and challenging perspective of a pelvic floor occupational therapist.   I’ve developed a deep passion for treating this population which has been missing a vital piece of their healing puzzle, even after seeing specialist after specialist (an average of seven!!).   After a final taste of another frigid northern winter,  my husband and I  (and two pups) decided to make Yuma our year-round home.  I am excited to bring these much needed services to the Yuma, AZ area.
