Summary
After three years working as a pelvic physical therapist, I have decided to invest in growing professionally by considering mentorship. As a new mother of a nine month old, I find schedule flexibility important. However, I prefer meeting in-person as much as a possible as I know of many pelvic PT mentorship programs and cohorts meeting online likely in different time zones. I also hope to further make connections with other pelvic physical therapists in the area to encourage collaboration and support to help women in our community.
