Don’t bounce back…please.

How you recover shapes the body you’ll live in for years to come. I provide personalized, evidence-based pelvic and obstetric physical therapy at home, to help you heal, restore, and protect your postpartum body, as safely and efficiently as possible.

HEAL

from 1 week to 2 months

Support early scar and tissue healing of perineum, and abdomen. Early implementation of gentle muscle activation with posture and functional movement training to facilitate musculoskeletal corrections. Focus will be on protection and education to understand your specific recovery process and building a sustainable recovery program with home ergonomics.

RESTORE

from 1 week to 6+ months

Activate and coordinate key muscles groups to restore pelvic floor, core stability and postural balance as quickly and safely as possible. Identify new and old injuries to ensure protection with new demands of childcare. Integrate and adapt structural realignment, movement stabilization and coordination to build strength and endurance at your personal pace of healing to continuously meet you where you are.

PROTECT

from 1 week to 6+ months

Ongoing training with your personal healing progression and readiness for return to your specific higher intensity movements and activities. Address new injuries from childcare as they arise such as wrist pain, shoulder and back pain or discomfort with sexual intimacy. Design realistic and enjoyable exercises for sustainability.

Here’s why.

Pregnancy and childbirth are among the most physically demanding and unpredictable experiences a body can go through. In the postpartum period, deep, structural vulnerabilities in the pelvis, low back and abdomen often remain hidden, affecting how you move and rebuild the body that you carry forward. Healing is rarely complete at six weeks; for most, it continues well into the first year.

Between the nine months to childbirth and the years afterwards is a critical opportunity that we are learning about.

Research and global standards in countries like France, confirms early specialized physical therapy, within the first weeks, is an effective, evidence-based strategy for reducing chronic postpartum complications.

I offer at-home physical therapy to:

  • begin early healing and restoration of your body while protecting your body

  • accommodate partners and family members to build continuous support around you

  • integrate your daily environment into your recovery program

  • personalize your program for your fastest, safest recovery based on your ability not generic guidelines or timelines

  • meet you where your true healing is taking place

FAQ

  • Currently, I work out-of-network to offer the higher level of care I truly believe women need instead of what insurance-based models often allow. This includes in-home support that focuses on what is most important for each new mother - to heal fully and safely, with the time, presence, and guidance this stage of life truly calls for.

    Understanding this represents a greater financial investment, I provide superbills you can submit to insurance for partial reimbursement as per your specific out-of-network benefits.

  • Foundational Program - 6 Sessions: $1,500

    Comprehensive Program - 10 sessions: $2,350

    Individual Sessions 60 mins - $270

  • Under California’s direct access law, you can see a licensed physical therapist without first obtaining a doctor’s prescription. However, to ensure seamless ongoing care and allow good communication with your medical team, I do require a referral if we proceed beyond six sessions.

  • Every mother’s recovery is unique and depends on her birth journey and overall physical status. It can be anywhere from six weeks to six months and beyond.

    Once you’ve healed enough to safely endure driving, walking or moving around the community, it’s easier to transition to clinic based care to continue your rehab program.. My goal is to establish a safe and strong foundation in the early recovery period with clear personalized education that you can continue to build upon in the weeks and months that follow.

  • Absolutely. Partners are welcome to join and many find it helpful to learn ways to support your recovery and understand their own safe movement or lifting techniques. It can be a great way to share the experience and strengthen your teamwork in this new stage

  • The frequency of therapy is personalized for each mother based on her medical status, needs, strength, and goals. We’ll determine this together, but most begin with sessions one to two times per week to support safe, steady progress.

  • Gentle physical therapy can often begin within the first two weeks after a C-section, with the focus on breathing, posture, and safe movement to support healing and reduce discomfort especially while caring for the baby.

  • At this time, at-home visits are only within San Francisco. Please schedule a discovery call so I can learn more about your needs and we can determine what works best.

  • While postpartum recovery is a core focus for me, I do work with women through every stage of life including pregnancy and return to sports, to perimenopause and beyond.

  • Because most women aren’t homebound during pregnancy, there are more options for specialized physical therapy. However, if you prefer at-home physical therapy or need it due to a high-risk pregnancy, I’ll be happy to provide that support.
