Two clinicians.
Two skill sets.
One collaborative approach.
Rooted Embodiment was established in 2025 by a Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant team. Coming from a background in outpatient orthopedics, we built this space with a shared passion for pelvic health and holistic well-being.
As a women-owned practice, we intentionally keep our team small so we can provide truly one-on-one, compassionate treatment. By working as a united front, a cohesive care team of two ensures that every person receives collaborative, consistent support. Our shared approach creates continuity in your care, allowing each session to feel seamless, grounded, and attuned to your needs.
Pelvic health can be daunting and uncharted territory for most folks. Our vision for Rooted Embodiment is to offer a safe and welcoming space where anyone who walks through our door feels at ease, informed, and empowered.
In a world where our autonomy is not always centered, we aim to provide affirming, grounded care to women and LGBTQIA+ folks, supporting each person in feeling confident, connected, and at home in their body.

Co-Owner & PTAWhat to Expect at Your First Visit
-
We’ll chat all things you! Your history, symptoms, and goals for pelvic floor physical therapy.
-
Our Physical Therapist will screen strength and mobility with a focus on the hips, back, and core. We’ll also check balance, breathing, and functional movements like squatting.
An internal pelvic floor assessment will be offered and is strictly based on your comfort and consent! Internal assessments give your therapist insight to your pelvic floor strength and function but can be assessed externally (or not at all!). You are in the driver’s seat.
-
We’ll get you started with individualized exercises, manual therapy techniques, and stretching.
From there we’ll provide you with information for home and schedule visits to get you on the path towards your goals!
Superbills and Reimbursement
Rooted Embodiment is an out-of-network practice. We provide a superbill after each visit that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
Accessibility is important to us. To discuss cost and payment options, set up your virtual consult today!
