Therapist

Sarah Highland MS, OTR/L, Founder

I graduated from Washington University in St Louis with a Master's of Occupational Therapy in 2008. After having my daughter, and healing from a pelvic floor injury, I became interested in providing home based care to help others address pelvic floor dysfunction without the trouble of getting to appointments. My goal is to provide customized, comfortable, and competent care!  I am passionate about all things pelvic floor and love chatting about our amazing bodies!
