Alright alright alright! (It’s important that you go back and say that in a Matthew McConaughey voice…. Excellent good job). WE’VE GOT PAINT, we’ve got a floor(ish), and I managed not to fall off the 15 foot ladder a single time despite having to hang at some precarious angles (OHSA who? Never met her). We are definitely on track to be in here April 30th for all of my current patients- and if you’re new here, thanks for following along! I will make sure you know exactly where your appointment is as the month moves along. Thanks as well to the Eastside team and especially handyman Bart who is always at our side as soon as we need him. 🔨 This is such a great community of business owners- I’m looking forward to opening day! 💐

🔨 🛠️🔨 Phase 2- ancient carpet is OUT 😷 air purifiers are in and the real work can start! One early spoiler- I have ALWAYS loved a black wall 🖤 When I did my branding photos I fell in love with the way it filmed and photographed- so I’m going for it!

Hello Social Media People! I absolutely do not pop my head in here enough- it’s something I’m going to make more space for in 2025. I’m here to bring you a BIG announcement for Wild Rose in 2025 🥳 We’re moving! Starting May 1, the clinic will be located inside the Eastside Marketplace. Look forward to a bigger space, very high ceilings (I really hope my jumping athletes see this 😅) and close access to all the Eastside amenities including the children’s indoor play area, coffee and juice cafes, and my OG neighbor from the old ‘hood- Still Waters Massage. Until May 1 it will be business as usual, and I’ll make sure you know where to go! Here’s to the next chapter 🍻 As always, my endless thanks to all of you for making this dream my reality! 🌺

Good afternoon everyone! Thanks for bearing with me as I give thought and intention into how I run my social media for this clinic. You all have kept me so busy in the office I haven’t quite yet sat down to chart out what this space means to me! I wanted to share this article today though, because it really cut to my heart and it touches on a core tenement of my clinical philosophy.

EVERY ONE is welcome at Wild Rose. You will not face discrimination; you will be met with open arms; I will make you a cup of tea and I bet we can find 2-3 things in common no matter what road you have walked on. Studies like this, as a parent, hurt my very heart. As a healthcare provider I feel it is of the utmost importance not to add to any prejudice or difficulties that our LGBTQIA+ community members already face in a state that seems determined to undermine their attempts at being themselves and being at home in their own body. This is not politics; this is not religion; this is HUMANITY. Please know that if you or your child seek care in this space, you are safe. You are welcome. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

The first time I went to swing a golf club after having my daughter, I felt like two people in a horse suit trying to hit a ball 😅 😤 I couldn’t rotate, I had no speed, NO power, and it felt like absolute garbage if we’re being honest. Then my coach said to me- stop swinging the club like you’re in high school 💡 Um, duh! We are not in the same body anymore postpartum- as this article outlines (even as a pro!)- but guys, it’s ok! Sometimes all it takes is a new approach. Golf is just one example of a sport that can take some serious re-strategizing after baby, and I’m happy to help be the set of eyes and ears that helps you get back to your game.

The tennis player Naomi Osaka opened up this week about how she feels physically since having her daughter. Both athletes and non-athletes will have nodded in recognition

It was a bit awkward in the clinic today after Bruce found out that he *again* lost out to Dolores for employee of the month. 🪴 The car ride home was a bit tense as well. (He did get a pup cup which temporarily consoled him.) Did you know that your emotional support animal is welcomed with open arms at Wild Rose? 😀 Bruce can be brought in if you can’t provide your own. Sometimes when talking about traumatic past events or difficult medical journeys, it’s nice to have velvety land hippo ears to pet. Bruce is trained to stay on his mat and out of patient exam areas but is all in on some snuggles during our interview portion. Maybe, some day, he WILL earn EOTM 🤞🏻 Let me know via PTEverywhere message if you would like this add on for your next visit! 🐾

If you resonate with this patient art a little too much… it might be time to get into pelvic floor PT 😅 When “everything looks normal” but you’re STILL in a lot of pain, it’s easy to become frustrated and overwhelmed. That’s where I come in! Many underlying pelvic pain conditions (like endometriosis, adenomyosis, chronic prostatitis, and interstitial cystitis) leave patients and doctors with more questions than answers at the end of a long and expensive diagnostic quest. It’s my job to help you build a life around the disease- whatever that looks like and wherever you’re at on your medical journey. Physical therapy can be about pain relief, but it can also help build tissue resilience and activity tolerance. This is a safe place for you, your story, and all of your baggage 🧳 So come on in- I’m happy to help!

After wrapping up my first month at Wild Rose, I am feeling a little bit exhausted and a LOT grateful! I am so thankful to everyone who has given me advice, time, grace, and support. Thank you so much to the providers in Moscow who have supported this journey and continue to send people my way and to for creating this beautiful space! As you can see here I have a lot of great support at home as well answering emails and sorting through referrals. June is starting to fill up but I still have some availability if you’re interested in making an appointment! I plan to launch a secondary account for my equestrian patients this month 🏇🏻 so if you’re following me as a rider, look forward to that! Here’s to a GREAT summer to come ☀️ 🌺

Happy Mother’s Day 💐 I hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful inland NW weekend full of sun! I know our family never gets tired of the view from Elk River Falls 🏔️ I hope this day was full of whatever you needed- rest, adventure, space from the kids, or a cuddle puddle. Doesn’t it seem to vary from year to year? Cheers, mamas 🥂 Wishing everyone a full night of sleep to top things off 😅

🌟 The Postpartum Assessment 🌟 Following either a vaginal or a Cesarean birth, it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed by all the recovery messaging. To Kegel or not to Kegel?! When should I start lifting weights again? When can I run again? What if I’m too tired and sore to do anything- am I failing at this?! Firstly, of COURSE you’re not. All of these questions are person-and-birth-dependent. And, it’s ok if it’s a little complicated! One of my absolute favorite parts of being a pelvic floor PT is helping patients to optimize their recovery postpartum. Whether it’s addressing that pesky mid-back pain (hello nursing/pumping life 😵‍💫), performing an accurate pelvic floor assessment, or simply providing some calm direction amidst the storm of “free advice”- I’m your doc! I’m excited to offer an in-home visit option for this assessment as well. Well do I know how hard it is to load up a newborn, a car seat, and that 22 lb diaper bag (which is still somehow always missing something 😑). If getting to the clinic feels overwhelming, let me come to you! You might also consider gifting this assessment to someone you love. Reach out to me via my website or on social media if you (or someone you love!) needs this in your life. This is one act of self-care that every mom deserves!

A former patient stopped in with a perfect housewarming gift today 🤗 It has a place of honor in the office now! You guys get me 🥹 💗 💩 Thanks for being you and for trusting me with your (sometimes s*itty) problems!
