Before your first appointment, we’ll spend about 15 minutes on the phone reviewing your symptoms and discussing your main goals. This conversation helps me choose the most relevant questionnaires for you, which you’ll complete ahead of your visit. This allows us to spend your in-person time focused on understanding you, rather than paperwork.

During your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and gaining a full picture of how your body functions in daily life. This includes looking at posture, movement patterns, breathing, habits, and routines. The goal is to understand the root causes of your symptoms, not just the surface issues.

A pelvic floor assessment is often not routinely performed during the first visit. Many clients benefit from building trust and comfort first. If an internal or external pelvic floor assessment is appropriate, it is always optional and guided by your comfort, consent, and readiness. Could a pelvic floor assessment happen during the first visit? Yes — but it is never required. You are always in control of what happens in your session.

I am dedicated to providing personalized, one-on-one care, focused on helping each client reach their goals at their own pace — without restrictions or outside interference. I believe that decisions about your care — including how often we meet and how long treatment continues — should be made by you and your therapist, not by insurance companies. This approach allows me to focus fully on your progress and provide the quality of care you truly deserve.

Empowered Pelvic Health & Wellness is an out of network, cash based, private practice. Insurance reimbursement may be possible and is the responsibility of the insured (patient). I can, however, provide guidance for the required pre-approval steps and superbill submission for reimbursement.

Superbills are a way to get reimbursed by your insurance for healthcare costs. Often times I can be covered under your insurance at in network rates, and is a quick and easy process.

Here is how it works:

Call your health insurance provider and request a network deficiency due to lack of access to care. Network deficiencies are found in one of two ways:

• You do not have any in network providers that are covered under your insurance within a certain radius of your home.
• The in network providers have an extensive, months long wait list that makes it an excessive burden to the patient.

After that you would receive confirmation from your health insurance that I would be considered an in-network or out of network provider, and billing submitted by you to your insurance company would go towards your deductible. Then we can go ahead and book!

Following our sessions you submit the costs to your insurance via your health insurance website for reimbursement, which can take just a few minutes.
