Meet the Team
Rooted Embodiment is an intentionally small, women-owned pelvic health practice rooted in collaboration, continuity, and care that feels steady and supportive. Founded by both Brittany (PT, DPT, OCS) and Mariah (PTA), our space is guided by a shared belief that healing is most effective when it is attuned and individualized. We work together as a cohesive care team, offering depth, consistency, and thoughtful attention throughout your experience.
Brittany completes evaluations and supports ongoing treatment, with areas of special interest in pregnancy and postpartum support, pelvic stability, and recovery after birth. Mariah supports ongoing treatment as well as offering in-house yoga, with areas of special interest in nervous system regulation, sexual wellness, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
Together, we treat the full spectrum of pelvic health concerns. Our collaborative approach enables you to benefit from the combined expertise of two clinicians, two skill sets, and two healing perspectives, all woven into a unified plan of care. Sessions at Rooted Embodiment are guided by consent, presence, and respect for your body’s wisdom. We move at your pace and center your autonomy, creating space for healing that feels grounded, gentle, and deeply supportive.
