FERTILITY PELVIC FLOOR PT
Using a holistic model, Sonya is intuitively led as she applies evidence-based care to address the “drivers” of symptoms. A womb with greater movement, blood flow and lymphatic clearing has greater function thus optimizing conditions for conception. It can be used as a stand-alone therapy and/or used as an adjunct to other assisted reproductive technology techniques (ART) such as IUI or IVF. Sonya is a strong believer in the mind-body connection and supports an integrative approach to healthcare. Born out of personal experience, Oasis offers services in a safe, nurturing environment with a whole-body focus from a trauma-informed perspective.
