"I started working with Davida after having my first child. I was over a year postpartum and trying to get back into running while managing a permanent pelvic floor injury from childbirth. I also had some lingering lower back pain that I had been dealing with for years. From the first phone call, Davida was so encouraging and focused on working through my issues. During our first session, Davida began solving the puzzle of my symptoms and found areas of weakness in my body that were causing my issues. I saw improvements with my back pain and pelvic floor after only one session with Davida and continue to feel more balanced and strong through my whole body with each session. Davida is so fun to work with and you can tell she cares so deeply about helping her patients achieve their goals. She takes the time to explain the connections in the body and why the exercises she prescribes work to eliminate symptoms. I'm so grateful I booked my first appointment with Davida and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to feel at home in their body again."
