Dear Mama,
By using a whole body approach, at Strength and Dignity Wellness, we are able to determine the root cause of your symptoms, allowing you to raise your children with strength & live your life with dignity.
Our mission is to help mothers improve function during and after pregnancy so they can be the best version of “Mom” they can be for their children.
We all know how fast, and active kids are, and how hard it can be to keep up at times. My goal is to make sure you’re able to raise these babies with strength and dignity. No leaking, less fatigue, more enjoying!
I’ve had the birth plan go sideways, the pelvic floor dysfunction after birth, and put in the work for on myself to slowly build myself back up so that I can be a strong and capable mother for my son. I’ve made mistakes and done the hard. I’m here to support you in your journey whether you had the pregnancy/birth/postpartum of your dreams or it left something to be desired. Let me support you through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond so you can raise your children with strength and live with dignity for years to come..

Leah is a licensed occupational therapist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and diagnoses. Her background has given her a deep understanding of how the body functions as an integrated whole and how healing requires both compassion and knowledge.
Before becoming an occupational therapist, Leah worked as a teacher—a foundation that now shines through in her love for educating and empowering her patients to understand their bodies and take an active role in their recovery.
Leah’s passion for pelvic health grew from her own personal experiences with endometriosis, infertility, and miscarriage. These challenges deepened her empathy and strengthened her calling to walk alongside women on their healing journeys with gentleness, faith, and encouragement.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find Leah outdoors with her husband and 5-year-old son, taking beach trips whenever possible, or trying a new recipe at home.
