Testimonials
“I had thought that my severe tailbone pain and other aches were just part of being pregnant, until my doula recommended PT, and Helene specifically. I was reluctant to add PT to my plate because I was already so overwhelmed. Over the course of just a few video sessions, Helene gave me short and targeted exercises that alleviated or even totally relieved many of my pregnancy aches and pains. These exercises also made me physically stronger and confident leading up to my delivery. I was fortunate to have an easy recovery after giving birth and I definitely attribute Helene’s prenatal PT as part of the reason for my positive pregnancy experience.”

“Erica was very helpful and supportive. She responded to my questions and addressed my fears and concerns. Erica helped me create a birth plan and helped me to have a safe, memorable, and empowering birth.”

“I thought breastfeeding would be easy because it is ‘natural,’ so I was surprised when it was the most stressful part of my immediate postpartum period. But Disa’s guidance brought me out of the dark days. With a few simple phone calls, I felt confident, safe, positive, and no longer alone in my struggle. She continued to check in on me until I was no longer in pain and my son hit 96th percentile in weight from the wonderful breast milk he was getting! I cannot ever thank her enough.”

“After several spinal surgeries I had finally gotten to a point where I had minimal chronic back pain—and then I had a baby. I tried to cope with that while also dealing with pain at my C-section site and the overall fatigue that comes with having a newborn. But thankfully, I reached out to Helene a few weeks before my maternity leave ended. Not only did she help resolve my back pain through exercises, but she coached me as I got back into Peloton rides, instructed me on C-section scar massage to alleviate my abdominal pain, and reviewed nursing positions and techniques that would help prevent further pain. I was worried I wouldn’t have time for the PT sessions between caring for my baby and (virtually) returning to work, but she was flexible and worked with me when it worked for me. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Helene, especially as a very new and very overwhelmed mom!”

“Erica was a huge help—I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her! She gave me a lot of helpful tips and resources before the birth, always had an open ear, answered super quickly, and supported me with difficult decisions.”

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with breastfeeding!! My baby’s first birthday is coming up, and I have not had to supplement with formula. I could not have have done it without your advice and encouragement! I was only able to nurse my daughter until about eight months, and I did supplement with her. I am so glad I have done so well with nursing my son. Our breastfeeding journey is nowhere near over. I want to continue for as long as possible. Again, thank you for all your help. You are very kind, helpful, and great at [your job]!”

“With a smile, jokes, and supportive and nurturing attention, Helene helped me move toward my goals. Her sensitivity and knowledge of post-pregnancy exercises at every step allowed me to safely tackle positions and reach benchmarks. I had a lot of pain that lasted for a very long time after my cesarean. She took that into account and made a personalized, in-home workout program for me to follow where I used no equipment, just my own furniture at times. It was perfect for me since it was hard to get away to the gym or take a class while caring for my baby. I grew stronger and she challenged me with increasing the difficulty in the workouts. Not only is Helene a great physical therapist, but she is a wonderful, caring person too!
