Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist ♾️ Turned Coach
Helping women take control of their symptoms, so they can lead empowering fulfilling lives
Hi, I’m Tina, a physical therapist with 14 years of experience specializing in pelvic floor dysfunction and sustainable habit change. But my journey hasn’t been a straight path—it’s been shaped by my own search for symptom relief, finding balance, and fulfillment in life.
My journey with pelvic health started long before my professional career. I struggled with bowel dysfunction as early as my teenage years and into my twenties, which caused bladder symptoms eventually as well. When I discovered pelvic floor physical therapy during an internship, I immediately fell in love with it—I finally understood what was happening in my own body, learned how to manage my symptoms, and regained control. I wanted to help others find that same relief and empowerment.
Fast forward 6 years into my career as a physical therapist, and less than a year into my marriage, my husband was diagnosed with an incurable cancer, and I stepped into another role - as a caregiver. During the first few years of this journey, I let my own self-care slip away. For years, I put everyone else first, believing that was the only way to show up for my family. But I eventually learned, through coaching and action, that I HAD to prioritize myself—not just for my own well-being, but so I could be the best version of myself for the people I loved.
When my family moved states, in 2021, I left behind my physical therapy clients and my clinical practice. I was stepping into yet another, new chapter, an unknown chapter. I found myself navigating not just a career shift, but also my role as a caregiver, as there were times I was needed 24/7 and then remissions where I could step out of that role for a while. Not knowing exactly which direction I wanted to go in my career, I found an administrative role, where I could be in a physical therapy clinic, but not take on the responsibility of client care. While it was fulfilling, something still felt missing—I wasn’t fully living out my purpose.
Through my own experiences with career coaching, caregiver coaching, and healthy lifestyle coaching over the last couple of years, I found that clarity. I realized that coaching was my path forward. I intuitively knew what I needed to be doing, but coaching helped me uncover it, stay accountable, and take action. It also helped reinforced what I had always believed—lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. I had to change my mindset from an “all-or-nothing” approach, to small doable actions. I had to focus on tackling one thing at a time to create real, sustainable progress in my own life.
That’s exactly the approach I bring to my coaching. Whether you’re working on core & pelvic floor health, building better habits, or making space for your own well-being, I’m here to help you take manageable, meaningful steps toward long-term personal fulfillment. No quick fixes, no all-or-nothing thinking—just a personalized, realistic approach that fits into your life.
If you’re ready to create lasting change in a way that feels doable and aligned with your goals, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s take the first step together.
