About Dr. Jenn
Owner and Founder
Hi, I’m Dr. Jenn.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a physical therapist with 18 years of clinical experience, specializing in pelvic health and perinatal care. I’m also a yoga teacher and mentor. I truly love this work.
Through both my clinical background and my own personal journey navigating postpartum recovery, I have become deeply committed to helping people optimize their pelvic health, discover freedom through mindful movement, and return to the activities they love.
I created Root To Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health to provide the highest quality, fully personalized care. Our intention is to guide you on your unique path toward healing. Together, we create a therapeutic plan designed around your specific goals and needs.
Our treatments often include a blend of hands-on manual therapy, dry needling and cupping, functional movement training, therapeutic yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness practices. Education is also a key part of our work together, ensuring that you fully understand your body, your condition, and your treatment plan.
Our Philosophy of Care
At Root To Rise, our team is committed to caring for the whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
We believe your treatment should feel accessible, realistic, and supportive of your everyday life. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens within the context of your work, family, movement, and the things that matter most to you. Our goal is to meet you where you are and help you create meaningful, sustainable progress.
When helpful, and always with your permission, we collaborate with your other healthcare providers to ensure your care feels coordinated and aligned.
We also believe this work is rooted in self-care, not in fixing something that is broken. Your body is not the problem. Instead, our role is to help you better understand and support it, optimizing how you move, breathe, and feel so you can move through every stage of life with greater ease and confidence.
Strong communication is a cornerstone of our care. We encourage you to reach out between sessions by phone or email if questions arise. This ongoing support helps maintain momentum and often allows us to accomplish more in fewer visits, saving you time while reducing the overall cost of care.
At its heart, Root To Rise was created to provide a different kind of care, one that blends clinical expertise with movement, mindfulness, and deep respect for the body’s ability to heal.
My Story
Looking back, my interest in pelvic floor physical therapy began during a time when I was navigating a complicated diagnosis largely on my own. I was given very little practical guidance or medical support, and no clear path toward reaching my goals. I remember feeling lost and frustrated by the care I received and the limited answers available to me.
Everything changed when I eventually found a specialized interdisciplinary clinic. For the first time, I felt truly cared for in the way I deserved. The clinicians took the time to listen, educate me about what was happening in my body, and work collaboratively with me to create a thoughtful plan forward.
The relief I felt, simply knowing I wasn’t alone and that there were answers, made a profound difference in my life. That experience also opened my eyes to how difficult it can be to find clear, supportive, and high-quality information about women’s health. I became deeply motivated to provide this kind of care for my own patients and to focus on a field that is so needed and yet still rarely talked about.
My passion for this work deepened even further when I became a mother of two. Especially after the birth of my younger child, I experienced many of the same challenges that my patients face. As an active person, yoga teacher, and movement practitioner, returning to teaching and practicing felt very important to me.
Recovery after childbirth, whether vaginal or cesarean, is complex and deeply individual. During my own recovery, I navigated issues including diastasis recti, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence, just to name a few.
I am incredibly grateful for the professionals who supported me along the way. Through that experience, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the body’s ability to heal and adapt. With awareness, intention, and the right support, it is possible to return not only to where we were before, but to a place of even greater strength, connection, and resilience.
Becoming a mother and moving through this transformative experience has fueled my passion and solidified my purpose in the work I do today.
If you’re ready to feel stronger, more connected to your body, and supported in your healing, we would be honored to work with you.
