What People Are Saying
“I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ellen previously, in a traditional outpatient clinic setting, and now through her own business at Retreat Wellness. As a runner, I had been struggling with leakage and was feeling frustrated and defeated. Dr. Ellen’s vast knowledge of women’s health, pelvic floor dysfunction, and running mechanics were instrumental in identifying my deficits and establishing a customized exercise plan tailored to fit into my busy lifestyle as a working mom. She is very skilled clinician who makes you feel comfortable, understood and validated. I really enjoyed the environment outside of a traditional clinic setting, as sessions were thorough and comprehensive. I would recommend Retreat Wellness to any individual in need of physical therapy, as you will receive 5 start quality care.”— Stefanie F.
"Ellen was amazing to work with during my final pregnancy journey. She was professional, knowledgeable and super easy to work with. She constantly tailored the PT exercises to my body's changing needs to facilitate and optimal outcome for delivery and postpartum recovery. I can't recommend Ellen enough and feel very fortunate to have had her by my side!"— Katie W.
“I can’t say enough good things about Ellen! I am a perimenopausal woman who came to her with debilitating hip pain that had been going on for over 6 months. After the very first session, my pain significantly decreased and after a few sessions it was nearly gone. Her initial evaluation was so thorough, and she discovered that my “hip” pain was actually a hamstring and pelvic floor issue. She found the root of several issues I was having and helped me “rebuild” from the ground up – she didn’t just put a band-aid on the initial problem. Previously working in the therapy world, I recognized the significant benefits of her ability to take the time she needs to really address all the issues. I never felt rushed through sessions, and she really listened to everything I was feeling. Her knowledge is second to none and she even sent me podcasts on some of the additional menopause related issues I was having. Without a doubt I would recommend Ellen and her services to anyone!.”— Stasia M.
"After having my first baby, I began working with Ellen to address postpartum concerns. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable, provided valuable education and answered all my questions along the way. Ellen helped me rebuild strength in my core and pelvic floor which provided me with the confidence to safety return to weight lifting and running. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and passionate about her work and I would highly recommend her to anyone for pelvic floor therapy!"— Taylor M.
