Testimonials

Claire B.

I worked with Marlene during pregnancy, and she was fantastic! She really helped me prepare physically and mentally for child birth. She gave me simple exercises and movements to practice at home, and she was so knowledgeable and thoughtful in all of our sessions. Working with her really increased my confidence going into the birth of my first child. Thank you so much, Marlene!

Marlene helped me tremendously with my post-partum healing journey. I can't recommend working with her enough. She is kind and caring and makes you feel right at ease while using her expertise to get right to the route of the issue. The exercises she gave me to do were simple and helped enormously to relieve the issues I was experiencing.
Teresa B.

I really enjoyed working with Marlene during my pregnancy. Her expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me prepare physically for the challenges of pregnancy. Her tailored approach and insightful advice made a significant difference in my comfort and physical health throughout those months.

Marlene is just the kind of practitioner everyone dreams about. She is genuine, thorough, and sensitive— very reassuring with this type of therapy.
Her space is welcoming, and every session was tailored to my specific needs. I was anxious to work on my pelvic floor after giving birth (what a personal thing!). Marlene made me feel truly cared for and has improved my life immeasurably.
I am so grateful to have worked with her.
Caroline K.

Working with Marlene has been a wonderful experience! She creates a safe and comfortable environment and has really helped me heal not only from the birth of my child but also from past experiences. I have already seen and felt great progress in our few sessions and am thankful to have found her!

My consult w Marlene was wonderful. She was kind, patient, and showed her clear expertise and professionalism throughout our session. She offered treatment recommendations that aligned with my goals, budget and timeline and am thankful to have been referred to her!
Danu H.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Marlene. The sessions have been both mentally and physically very supportive and educational, I learned a lot and can now implement these tools into my everyday life. After having two kids my body has changed a lot and Marlene has helped my understand my post birth body. Thanks Marlene!
Katherine E.

Marlene is truly a gift to work with. I met with her postpartum and she not only taught me so much about my body, but her supportive, holistic approach made me feel very cared for during our visit. I can’t recommend her highly enough and wish I had seen her for a prenatal visit as well.
Angela P.

Really loved my first pelvic floor therapy session with Marlene! She was so easy to talk to and did a great job explaining what is the pelvic floor and giving a very comfortable manual assessment. I don’t have a lot of issues yet but with a twin pregnancy, I wanted to make sure everything in top shape and really appreciated her saying that I probably won’t need to come in till I’m a little bit bigger. Thanks Marleen!
Rebecca F.

I've only been working Marlene for a brief time but I'm so relieved that I found her. She is incredibly thoughtful and supportive in her approach. She listens and takes a holistic approach to pain relief and rehabilitation that I very much value.
