✨ Restore energy
✨ Balance hormones safely
✨ Improve sleep & mood

✨ 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!

❌ “Colic” isn’t a diagnosis—it’s a symptom.

If you’ve been told your baby “just has colic” and to wait it out… here’s the truth👇

🚩 Babies don’t cry for hours for no reason.

Birth trauma, tight fascia, tongue ties, C-sections, and tension from the womb can all leave babies uncomfortable, making it harder to digest, latch, sleep, and settle.

🩹 Calling it “colic” without looking deeper is like putting a Band-Aid on the real issue.

✨ Craniosacral Fascial Therapy helps gently release that tension—supporting better digestion, easier latching, improved sleep, and a calmer baby.

Your baby deserves more than a label.
They deserve comfort and healing🤍

A quick head up!

Dr. Kaitlyn is taking some well-deserved time away this week to be with her family.

Because of that, Weight Training + Pilates classes will be postponed and will resume next week on April 28th!💪

We’ll miss you in the clinic this week—but we can’t wait to get back into it together soon!🙌

Reviews like this are exactly why we do what we do!🧡

Helping women go from constant bathroom trips and bladder leaks… to feeling confident, in control, and back to living their life fully 🙌

Huge shoutout to Dr. Kaitlyn Smith for creating a personalized plan, truly listening, and guiding this client every step of the way. That kind of care makes all the difference!

At Nurtiva, we believe you deserve:
✔️ To feel heard
✔️ To have a plan that fits YOUR life
✔️ To get real results — not just “deal with it”

👶🧒 Yes, mama—you can absolutely bring your kids to your appointment.
No sitter? No problem. We get it—because we’re moms too.

One of the biggest reasons this clinic exists is to create a space where you can focus on your healing without the stress of finding childcare.

We know how hard it can be to put yourself first—especially when every hour of your day is filled with feeding, chasing, rocking, cleaning… and repeating.

But here’s the truth: you deserve to heal, too.

So whether your baby needs to be in your arms, your toddler needs a snack, or your big kid tags along with a tablet—we will make it work.🤍

Your littles are always welcome here. They’re part of your story—and part of the reason you’re showing up for yourself.

Come as you are—diaper bag, snack crumbs, car seat and all.
We’re ready to meet you (and your crew) with open arms.

We loved having Dr. Maggie from Growing Motion Pediatric PT stop by our breastfeeding support group this morning!👶

She spent time chatting with our mamas about important developmental milestones — what to look for, what’s normal, and when to seek a little extra support.

It was such a great reminder that every baby develops at their own pace, and you’re never alone in the journey.✨

Thank you, Dr. Maggie, for sharing your knowledge and giving our moms peace of mind (and confidence!) as they navigate these early stages!

And that you Brave Breastfeeding for continuing to support so many mamas on their breastfeeding journey!

We’re so grateful for this supportive community of mamas + experts!
