Erica and the education she gave me on training my pelvic floor was a huge key to my success during my labor and delivery. I was able to have my baby with the most minimal trauma to my body thanks to the principles Erica teaches you. Plus, during my pregnancy she was able to use massage, cupping, and more to help with the typical aches and pains. If you are pregnant, or struggling with other pelvic dysfunction, she is a resource that is a worthy investment in your health!

Trailhead Pain Program Client

"Pelvic floor therapy was recommended to me after having two babies in two years and every single day I am so thankful that I decided to make the investment in myself. Erica is a true gem. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate. I have a few conditions that cause chronic pain and she is incredibly mindful of that when working with me. I feel seen and heard every time I am in the office and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. I have only had a handful of sessions so far, but I already am feeling less pain in my pelvic region and am improving in other areas that were affected by pregnancy, prior tailbone injury, and other conditions. If you need pelvic floor therapy, look no further than Erica."
