Hi! My name is Jessie and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and moved to the east coast to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at New York University.
My initial interest in pelvic health stemmed from exposure during PT school which provided powerful insight into gender bias and how pelvic health concerns, especially women’s, are often dismissed. My mission is to provide a restorative environment to encourage and empower my clients to connect with and heal their bodies.
I have extensive experience practicing pelvic floor physical therapy including previously establishing the Pelvic Health Program for a large physical therapy practice and acting as the Program Director, mentoring dozens of other Pelvic Floor Physical Therapists. I have and continue to stay current with continuing education courses on topics including pelvic pain, exercise and pregnancy, postpartum rehabilitation, bowel and sexual dysfunction.
My passion for pelvic health extends to acting as a lecturer on pelvic floor physical therapy at both New York University and Columbia University, and serving as teaching assistant for multiple pelvic floor continuing education courses through Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute.

Hi! My name is Lital, and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist. I am originally from Maryland and made my way to the New York/New Jersey area to start my PT career. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and then went on to complete a Masters in Public Health and Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northwestern University in Chicago.
I became interested in pelvic health during my masters program, when I developed a passion for maternal health, realizing the gaps that exist within maternal healthcare. My research in public health focused on the ways in which pelvic floor physical therapy can optimize pre and postnatal outcomes. This work ultimately lead me to pursue a career as a pelvic floor physical therapist, and become a certified pregnancy and postpartum exercise specialist.
After entering the field I quickly realized the value this care holds for so many different patient populations. I then pursued additional continuing education courses and certifications in colorectal, urogynecologic, and men’s pelvic health through Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute.
My goal is to create a comfortable environment that empowers all individuals seeking support for any pelvic health concern. I treat every patient with a mind-body approach, prioritizing not only physical health, but overall well being.
I am treating patients at the Hoboken and Flatiron offices!
