Are you looking for a solution to your bladder, bowel, pelvic pain or sexual dysfunction?
I can help!
Where are you stuck?
-
Urine or Bowel Leakage
Tired of wearing liners all the time? Holding back on exercise because you might leak? This isn’t something that you have to ‘just deal with’. We will figure out WHY you are leaking and come up with a treatment plan to fix it.
-
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is a broad topic that can include things like groin pain, hip pain, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain, vulvar or vaginal pain, penile or testicular pain, and anal/rectal pain. If your pain is stopping you from doing what you love, I can help.
-
Endometriosis
Have you been diagnosed with endometriosis and don’t know your next steps? Or maybe you’ve had pelvic pain and terrible periods for as long as you can remember. We can get you on the path forward to healing.
-
Prolapse
Are you feeling heaviness or pressure that is worse at the end of the day or after your favorite activity? Have you consulted with a surgeon and want to make sure you have the best possible outcome…or potentially avoid surgery? We can work together to improve or eliminate your prolapse symptoms.
-
Prostate Issues
Whether you had a diagnosis or prostate cancer, BPH, or prostatitis, I can help you fix your bladder function, pain, or erectile issues. If you have a surgery scheduled in the future, we can make sure you are prepared and have a smooth recovery.
-
Sexual Dysfunction
If our pelvic floor muscles or nerves aren’t working optimally, then sex can hurt or feel different than you want it to. I can help with vulvodynia, vaginismus, clitoral pain, penile or testicular pain, and general pain with sex. You don’t have to suffer in silence.
-
Urgency and Frequency
Have you mapped out the local stores and know which ones have the best bathrooms? Are you constantly doing a ‘just in case’ run to the restroom? This is a symptom of an unhappy bladder and we can work together to give you back control.
-
Running Issues
Frequency or urgency on the run? Leakage with hill training or speedwork? GI issues that you can’t figure out? Weird high hamstring or deep glute pain that lingers even after other types of PT? Let’s figure it out and get you hitting the road or trails with confidence.
-
Peri/Menopause Care
There are so many changes that happen during the menopause transition and it’s different for everyone. It could mean increased leakage to someone, frequent UTIs to another, and pelvic pain/pain with sex for someone else. I’m here to support you and fix the issues as they arise.
-
Pudendal Neuralgia
Pudendal nerve irritation can make it hard to sit, have sex, exercise, or do any of your normal activities. Nerve irritation can be scary, but treatment does not have to be painful. With the right help, you can improve and get your life back!
-
Constipation and IBS
Lots of straining or feeling like you don’t empty well? Our pelvic floor muscles need to know how to let go and relax in order to have a great bowel movement. We will address muscle dysfunction and retrain your system to give you a better go.
-
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Trying to get back to feeling like a normal human during and after pregnancy? You might have weakness or tension in your abdominals, back, and pelvis, or maybe you aren’t sure where to start. If you feel pelvic pressure, heaviness, or pain with intimacy, it’s time to reach out to me.
Find Freedom
I am here to address the root cause of your symptoms and provide whole body treatment to ensure that your pelvic issues are a thing of the past.
“Before I found you, I really thought I was going to need surgery to fix my leakage…thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Pelvic Health for the Runner
Pelvic floor problems can make it practically impossible to get through a run or race, whether it’s due to urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage, GI or bowel issues, or pain.
As a runner myself, I understand these frustrations well, and I can help you conquer them!
I look at your system as a whole, literally from your big toe to the top of your head. It’s all connected, and as a runner, your entire system needs to be firing on all cylinders.
Your pelvic floor problems can actually be the result of another area not doing its job! It’s up to me to figure it all out and help you hit your training goals without the pelvic issues.
“Colleen has been amazing! She has me back to feeling strong and healthy after having 4 kids. So glad I found her!”

Let’s say goodbye to pelvic floor problems and hello to your best running era
