Nura is a pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist with a passion for providing holistic care for all genders and fostering a safe and nurturing environment for every patient.

Patient Testimonial
When I first met Nura, I didn’t realize just how uncomfortable I felt in my body. First it started with constipation, then sexual dysfunction, then I had leaking while dancing at concerts, my favorite thing to do. I was nervous to explore pelvic floor therapy as a trans person, and I didn’t know anything about it beyond kegels. I was pessimistic about healing, and I didn’t realize how out of touch and disconnected I was with my body. After years of binding my chest and wearing tight clothes, I had gotten too used to it.

Working with Nura was transformative: it gave me a radically different understanding of my body and what it needs, how to take care of and accommodate my body so it can function in the ways I want, and it has impacted every way I go about my life, whether in the bedroom, sitting at my desk, dancing at concerts, getting dressed in the morning… doing PT exercises was critical but also such a surprisingly small part of the wonderful work Nura and I did together, along with education, emotional processing, and hands-on work. The internal releases were very helpful and I felt I could trust and feel comfortable with Nura doing that work. I appreciated the level of intention surrounding consent and communication as well. Nura is a gift to the queer community and to anyone who is struggling in this way. Truly life-changing!

For me, pelvic floor PT was not covered by my insurance so it was a big expense, but it was worth every dollar. If you’re on the fence and you can afford it, I hope this gets you off the fence! My life is so different now because of it and I am incredibly grateful for Nura’s expertise and bedside manner.
