Enlighten is more than happy to offer pelvic PT sessions at a discounted rate for current patients who have lost homes or are permanently displaced. Our centers need tending to and it would be our pleasure to lend our hands in support.

Ooof. This fall and winter has been ROUGH over here. I had pneumonia, bronchitis, and a sinus infection that would not quit from Oct- Jan. I couldn’t see patients for almost a month and my energy is still zapped. Wanted to post a huge shout out to .dpt for picking up my slack at work! She’s been caring for my patients and hers with attention and flexibility and I’m so grateful.

I’ve never not been able to show up for my roles as Enlighten PT/ owner, physical therapist, educator, mom, and wife for an extended period of time before… and boy did I learn some lessons. The loudest was that I needed to sit my a$$ down and rest sometimes. I’m good to no one if I’m depleted. I’ve known that one for a while now, but this was by far the most clear message from my body that did not want to heal. It’s been humbling to have to do less, pace myself, see fewer patients, turn down speaking opportunities, ask for help, reschedule patients, and stay home when my kid wants to go out and play. I’m getting my head above the water a bit the last few weeks and it just makes me so grateful for my body, my health, and all the resources around me.

I never thought I’d start a suppository business, but then again here I am 10 years into a career in pelvic health I didn’t anticipate either! I’ve spent my PT career helping people with my words, my hands, and my heart so really is just an extension of my passion for keeping people, their v_aginas, and their buttholes happy and healthy. 🐈 +🍑+👍🏼

and I are so proud to announce Blossom and Nourish Drops, the first two suppository formulas designed with our patients in mind. We’ve prioritized super clean ingredients (all organically grown), high dose formulas, ease of use (step by step instructions), and a holistic wellness experience (see our guided meditations on the website). 🌸

We’d absolutely love for you give us a follow and try a box! Let us know what you think!

I missed a huge milestone a couple weeks ago so we’re celebrating 7 years of Enlighten PT today! I saw my very first patient on a brand new portable massage table in a subleased office space with almost no knowledge of how to run a business. (Thanks for showing up!). I’m so proud to say Enlighten PT has flourished in the last 7 years. I have certainly grown as a practitioner, feeling comfortable in my own skin and my own approach in offering conscious care for people’s pelvises. I hold such respect for our patients who show up willing to be vulnerable and dive into our holistic approach… that sometimes feels much scarier than traditional PT.

I’ve learned so much as a small business owner, employer, and a mama entrepreneur… mostly that I could never build this on my own! Cheers to the peeps behind the scenes supporting Enlighten… you’ve all played such a vital role in helping our patients have access to their best pelvic-centered and joyful lives.

Enlighten will keep running strong, but keep your eyes open for my new business baby … products developed by me and to support our patient’s pelvic health 🌸

I opened the Retreat to Your Root circle three weeks ago with an icebreaker inspired by my dear friend and v_agina lover … we all shared a brag about ourselves. My brag was that I’m really awesome at assembling groups of women, guiding them to connect with their pu$$ies, and offering opportunities for healing through that connection. I meant it. I’m really good at these things and I am beyond grateful that it’s also what fills up my cup… and my heart! It’s been hard for me to know how to share the magic of our retreat while also honoring the depth of work that we all did in the desert. and I got to witness unravelings of old stories, discoveries of new ways of being, moments of tears, a coming together in womanhood, and so much joy.

We honored our seasons of life, our menstrual cycles, our anatomy, and our centers. Our curriculum was astounding and robust if I do say so myself and in just four days the blossoming of the 11 brave women who attended the retreat was remarkable…and inspiring…and a potent reminder of why this is my calling in life. Looking at these pictures takes me right back and gives me all the feels. I can’t wait to do it all again with you!

New offering! In-person! (and on Zoom). It has been AWHILE since I’ve been able to teach a class in person and I’m happy to be offering an oldie, but goodie! There will be limited number of in-person spots available for 2 dates of my favorite workshop: Yoga for Your Pelvic Floor. Class will cover a little background and anatomy of the pelvic floor, and will focus on moving our bodies into different shapes to explore connection, control, and capacity in our pelvic floors. Great for anyone with pelvic floor tension, pelvic pain, prolapse, or just curious it’s about the pelvis. DM me to register for in-person or Zoom link!

Such a sweet memory from the first Retreat to Your Root back in 2016. This picture shows me so many things about the retreat experience and the circle that we get to sit in when we take time away from our lives to pause, connect, and be present. I see strong women who still hold tender parts of my heart. I see the magic that sitting around a fire can bring. I see vulnerability and openness and human connection. We are tending and befriending and healing. Feet on the earth, open pelvic bowls, and good deep rolling belly laughter. It’s truly like salve on a wound.
Today is the last day to join our circle at the Early Bird rate for Retreat to Your Root in March 2023. and I would love to see you there! Sign up at Retreattoyourroot.com.

Veronica and I are offering a very special Introduction to Retreat to Your Root. This free class is meant as a way to dip your toe into learning about pelvic health and your nervous system. You will be introduced to the anatomy of the pelvic floor/ pelvic organs and the nervous system. You’ll have the opportunity to learn how these two aspects of our bodies are intricately related and how potent the healing can be through making this connection. There will be discussion/lecture, a movement practice (yoga and somatic movement inspired), and time to ask questions about Retreat to Your Root in this 2 hour Intro class. Sign up in bio or DM me!

Lots of new people to say hello to in this space! It seems like a good time to reintroduce myself. I’m Dr. Casie, founder and owner of Enlighten PT and Retreat to Your Root, mama to a trickster toddler, lover of beautiful spaces, seeker of holistic wellness, and the person you’ll probably share more about your ge****ls than you ever thought!

I’ve been practicing living in and being comfortable with transitions and gray zones for a while now (it’s a practice!). I’ve gained flexibility, empathy, and appreciation for my breath in the present moment which translates directly into how I’m growing as a human and as a person who cares for others for a living.

I started in pelvic floor physical therapy because I was inspired by the opportunity to help people with basic quality of life level issues (peeing, pooping, having s*x, etc). I’ve stayed in pelvic health because the impact of balance and connection in our root lays the foundation for our overall wellness, access to joy… even pleasure. I’m interested in helping people (and myself) find these things! It’s my passion.
I take a whole person approach to helping people find health and balance in their bodies and nervous systems. In the clinic we focus on movement, manual therapy, education, and creating safety in order to alleviate concerns like pain with $ex, incontinence, difficulty sitting, or horrible periods. On retreat or in workshops we do the same, but amplify healing through community, sharing and listening to other womxn, and giving ourselves permission to rest and restore in nature.

I value forming relationships that nurture healing and empowerment. I offer my hands and my heart as ways to connect and find balance. I’m a lifelong student, I’ve treated thousands of patients, and taught many courses/workshops. I lean into my intuition as I empower others to prioritize their pelvic health. I have a special place in my heart for serving mamas.

My business is expanding on multiple fronts- I just hired my first employee, there’s an upcoming retreat, and there may be a product in the pipeline.

I would love to connect with you in any way that feels good… maybe even drop a hello in the comments below!
