Supporting Women Through Every Stage of Life
I created Suncoast Pelvic Therapy & Wellness to offer women focused, individualized care in a calm, private environment — a place where you can feel supported and confident as you move toward lasting relief.
My Mission
My mission is to provide women with thoughtful, one‑on‑one pelvic floor care that looks at the whole body, honors each woman’s story, and creates a safe, private space for healing. I’m committed to helping women understand what’s happening in their bodies — whether during perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, or any stage in between — and to offering care that is clear, supportive, and truly individualized.
Above all, I want every woman I work with to feel confident in her body, hopeful in her healing, and deeply supported throughout her journey.
Meet Melissa
I’m Melissa, a pelvic floor physical therapist with a deep passion for helping women understand their bodies and feel supported through every stage of life. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Florida Gulf Coast University and my Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Central Florida. I began my career in outpatient orthopedics, but my path shifted unexpectedly when I discovered how profoundly pelvic health impacts women’s daily lives. That “chance” introduction became a calling.
Over the years, I’ve developed a whole‑body approach to pelvic floor therapy — looking beyond the pelvis to understand how the core, hips, posture, movement patterns, and lifestyle factors influence symptoms. I especially love supporting women in perimenopause and menopause as they navigate changes that are often confusing, overlooked, or dismissed. I also have a soft spot for postpartum care, having gone through that journey myself as a mom of two girls.
In addition to pelvic health, I’m a certified lymphedema therapist and a certified health and wellness coach, which allows me to integrate broader wellness and recovery strategies when they’re helpful. Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me with family and friends, traveling, baking, trying new recipes, or enjoying time on the water.
My goal is simple: to provide thoughtful, one‑on‑one care that helps women feel understood, supported, and confident in their bodies again.
My Values
Women‑Centered Care
Every woman’s story matters. I create a space where concerns are heard, validated, and never rushed or dismissed.
Whole‑Body Perspective
Pelvic health is influenced by the entire body — core, hips, posture, movement, and lifestyle. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture.
One‑on‑One Treatment
Your care is always private, focused, and individualized. No assistants, no techs, no switching providers — just consistent support from start to finish.
Education + Empowerment
Understanding your body is a powerful part of healing. I explain what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how we can create meaningful change together.
Safe, Private Environment
Pelvic health can feel vulnerable. I provide a calm, comfortable space designed specifically for women navigating sensitive concerns.
Support Through Every Stage
Whether you’re postpartum, in perimenopause, navigating menopause, or managing long‑standing symptoms, you deserve care that adapts to your life and your goals.
