"Let’s be honest. No one expects to look forward to pelvic floor physical therapy appointments…but I genuinely did.  Before seeing Heather, I didn’t realize how much pelvic floor dysfunction had quietly taken over my life. She didn’t just help me relieve my symptoms. She helped me understand my body, gave me the confidence and tools to keep improving, and gave me back a quality of life I didn’t realize I’d been missing.

Heather has a way of making conversations that could feel awkward feel completely normal. I always felt heard, understood, and never embarrassed. Her knowledge is incredible, but it’s her kindness, encouragement, and ability to meet people exactly where they are that truly set her apart.

The progress I made exceeded every expectation I had. Finding Heather was one of the best things that has happened to my health."

"I regularly saw Dr. Heather while recovering from endometriosis excision surgery. It was an incredibly positive experience.  From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, comfortable, and supported. Her compassion, attention to detail, and willingness to tailor each session to what I wanted to focus on, and what I was comfortable with, made all the difference.

What truly sets Dr. Heather apart is her whole-body approach to care. True to the meaning of “Entera”, she saw me as a whole person rather than focusing on just one area. Her personalized care helped improve not only my pelvic health but my overall well-being.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Heather’s expertise and kindness. I have recommended Dr. Heather to numerous friends, and highly recommend Entera Pelvic Health to anyone looking for compassionate, personalized, whole-person care!"

"Heather is simply the best! I've had the privilege of working with her in some capacity throughout all three of my pregnancy and postpartum journeys.  Each time, she has met me where I was and never made me feel like I was behind or that my body wasn't capable. Whether I've needed help strengthening my body during pregnancy, preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, or addressing a setback along the way, Heather has always known exactly how to help. Her friendly, warm personality makes every appointment feel like catching up with a friend—with the added bonus of healing your body along the way! I cannot express enough what a great asset she is to add to your personal healthcare team!"

 Physical Therapy with Heather has been life changing for me! I started seeing her five years ago for chronic neck and shoulder pain and had no idea how much muscle tightness I was dealing with. Dry needling has been a game changer. More recently, she helped me recover from an injury and get back to running. Along with being very good at her job, Heather is kind and caring. I appreciate how she always listens to all of my concerns.

 For the last 6 years , Heather has helped me in different chapters of my life.  Initially, she met me after having back-to-back pregnancies, needing pelvic floor strengthening; between injuries and age, she has continued to listen, evaluate, and provide strengthening and dry needling that has helped my body to not just survive but to thrive.  Now entering perimenopause, her knowledge and connections with other professionals has been so invaluable to women like me as I navigate this next phase of my life.  Her expertise with pelvic floor doesn't just benefit women; she worked with my husband following a hernia surgery; from there, she continued to support his evolving health and needs. Heather is personable, empathetic, and kind, always making you feel valued, cared for, and heard; her approach and mindset encompasses the whole body, mind, and soul.
