Testimonial by S.B.

As someone who suffered the debilitating physical and emotional effects of vaginismus (as well as a complicated history of back injuries) for more than 15 years, I thought a “normal” life was just a fantasy. Then I found Heather.

Knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive, she advocated for me – not the ridiculous idea of “learning to live with pain” – and tailored her research-supported treatment program to fit my needs and goals. I noticed a difference after my first session; and just one year later, I’m stronger than ever, planning a pregnancy, and even thinking about getting back on skis. Heather did what fitness programs, medical doctors, chiropractors, and even surgery couldn’t – she gave me real answers, real hope, and real results. Her card says Physical Therapist – but as far as I’m concerned, she’s a miracle worker.
