Hello! I am the owner and primary therapist for Lady Bits Physical Therapy. I grew up in northern California's beautiful Humboldt County filled with huge trees, and loving parents who supported my love of playing the harp from the age of 9. In my early 20's I suffered a serious back injury and many years of chronic pain. Thanks to my brother, a skilled physical therapist, I experienced true pain relief and a renewed belief in my body's ability to heal. Having already obtained a music and biology degree from Holy Names University in 2005, I headed back to graduate school at CSU Long Beach, graduating in 2012. I have since worked in general orthopedics and skilled nursing with Alzheimer's Care before dedicating my career to serving women. I am honored and dedicated to work with every lady trusting me with her special bits. Having experienced pelvic floor dysfunction myself, I can relate to your experiences, frustrations, pains, and feelings of isolation. As I learn and grow as a therapist (because a good therapist never stops learning) I will always seek to improve my skills and knowledge so that every woman I treat can have the very best that she deserves.
