Here she treated a wide range of ages and presentations, also starting an Aquatic PT program and advancing her treatment in Pelvic Health.

Emily found her calling as a Physical Therapist in the field of Pelvic Health, and holds a Certificate of Advanced Practice in Physical Therapy in Pelvic Health. She uses a patient-centered, holistic approach and is committed to helping each patient meet his/her goals through therapy. She loves the variety of people and presentations she works with and is particularly passionate about working with women in pregnancy and post partum, helping navigate the menopause transition, and working with pediatric patients.
