✨ Meet the Heart Behind Nurtiva: Dr. Leslie, DPT
Founder. Leader. Visionary. And a woman who truly gets it.
With over 20 years as a Physical Therapist, Dr. Leslie has always been passionate about helping others heal — but her journey took on a whole new meaning after the birth of her youngest daughter in 2016.
What once felt like a strong, capable body suddenly felt unfamiliar. Persistent pelvic pressure. Core instability. A disconnect she never expected — even as a clinician.
Instead of accepting it, she leaned in.
Leslie dove deep into advanced pelvic health training, partnered with experts in birth recovery, and rebuilt her body from the inside out. And in doing so… she found her calling.
💫 Not just to heal — but to transform the way women experience care.
In 2018, she founded what is now Nurtiva Pelvic Therapy — a space where women are truly seen, supported, and guided through every phase of life. From pregnancy to postpartum… and now through perimenopause and beyond.
Her approach?
✨ Proactive, not reactive
✨ Whole-body, not one-size-fits-all
✨ Rooted in compassion, backed by advanced care
Through programs like Better Births, Radical Recoveries, Leslie and her team have helped hundreds of women reclaim their strength, confidence, and connection to their bodies.
And she’s still walking that journey herself — now navigating perimenopause and continuing to expand Nurtiva’s care with powerful tools like Shockwave Therapy, Craniosacral work, Visceral manipulation, and Somatic Emotional Release.
Outside the clinic, Leslie is a devoted wife of 20+ years, a mama to three beautiful daughters, and forever carries the love of the daughter they lost. Her life is grounded in faith, family, and a deep belief that every woman deserves to feel strong, supported, and whole. 🫶
🤍 She isn’t just the founder, she’s the foundation!
She's the steady, compassionate force behind every woman who walks through Nurtiva’s doors!
