Hannah is a phenomenal provider and I would 1000 percent recommend working with them. Hannah is affirming, knowledgeable and fun to work with. They have been so helpful with both my pelvic health and my other physical therapy needs. From before meeting Hannah and filling out their intake form, to sessions and all my health questions and needs, they have been one of the best medical providers I have ever been to. Highly recommend!
Kimberly, Jun 21Professional, respectful, and humane! Always helping me with pelvic floor pain!
Aline, Sep 04Hannah worked with me for months to help me improve my structural pelvic floor problems. Hannah was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, and gave informative answers to all of my questions. I always left our appointments feeling like I was making progress and being guided along a clear plan for improvement. After working with Hannah, my pelvic floor pain and discomfort is vastly improved and my quality of life is one thousand times better. I feel like I was lucky to work with Hannah, who I can't recommend enough as a physical therapist.
