GET TO KNOW ME

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Marisa, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty in orthopedics and pelvic floor. I believe whole-heartedly in challenging the model of care that leaves women (and men) feeling dismissed or alone in their symptoms. Pelvic floor dysfunction is often normalized due to a lack of education on the distinction between what is common and what is normal. Women are suffering in silence with symptoms of pelvic pain and incontinence. By having taboo conversations and prioritizing your well-being in your care, I create a space for you to feel supported, validated, and heard.

My post-doctoral training includes specialty courses in female pelvic floor dysfunction, postpartum rehabilitation, the female athlete, visceral mobilization, and Active Release Technique (ART).

“Marisa made me feel cared for, listened to, and like a whole and unbroken woman again. She is the piece of the puzzle that every childbearing woman needs.”

— Natalie, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Patient
