Patricia is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy with a focus on pelvic health and helping individuals maximize their independence and participation in activities of daily living. She graduated from Pacific University in Oregon and completed her capstone project at Akasha Physiotherapy, where she developed a deep interest in supporting people with pelvic floor issues, specifically bladder and bowel dysfunction and stress management. Her passion for pelvic health began while working at a skilled nursing facility (SNF), where she saw how pelvic health issues like incontinence and difficulty with toileting significantly impacted patients’ independence and quality of life. She realized there was a huge need for education and support around these issues, and this motivated her to focus on helping people regain their independence and confidence in managing daily activities. Prior to becoming an occupational therapist, Patricia spent three years as a Special Education Teacher in Fullerton, CA. Working with children in grades TK-4 gave her valuable experience in adapting teaching methods to meet individual needs, which directly informs her approach to patient care today. Her background in teaching allows her to connect with patients in a way that builds trust and makes learning new skills or strategies feel accessible. She’s skilled at breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps and ensuring that each client feels supported and empowered throughout their journey. Throughout her fieldwork, including experiences at Kline Galland and Northwest Center Kids | Early Supports, Patricia continued to see how pelvic health affects people across the lifespan. Whether working with older adults in nursing care or supporting families with young children, she recognized the importance of understanding and addressing pelvic health to help individuals function better in everyday life. This led her to further her expertise through training with the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, where she learned effective strategies to support individuals in managing pelvic floor dysfunction. Patricia is passionate about helping clients solve everyday challenges like toileting, positioning, and mobility, while also improving their overall well-being. Her approach is centered on listening to each person’s unique needs, collaborating with clients on practical solutions, and empowering clients to live the life they want with greater independence. Patricia is dedicated to supporting individuals in improving their quality of life and getting back to the activities they love, with a focus on client autonomy and overall wellness. Outside of work, Patricia enjoys hiking, traveling, and spending time with her partner. She’s also figuring out her sewing machine and enjoys taking on crafting projects.

She prides herself in seeing the whole patient and searching for the “why” behind your symptoms.

In addition to treating patients, Sarah enjoys educating the next generation of Physical Therapists and has been actively involved in the physical therapy program at Chapman University. She also created and ran a Pelvic Health Residency Program and has served as clinical instructor for many physical therapy students. Additionally, she recently served as a question writer for the Women’s Health Board Certification examination.

Sarah is particularly passionate about treating patients with sexual and/or bladder pain and those healing from childbirth, as those are struggles she has experienced herself.

Hi I’m Sherine— Pelvic, Abdominal and Breast Physical Therapist. I grew up dancing (ballet, jazz, and tap) and from a young age I quickly learned the importance of movement, flexibility and strength along with profound love for anatomy. As a young dancer, I experienced my own pelvic journey and was able to treat myself with my anatomy and movement education which was incredibly empowering.

I can honestly say, I deeply understand how pelvic floor dysfunction can impact many avenues of ones life along with the vulnerability and growth it takes to heal. This journey lead me to focus my undergraduate at Cal State Long Beach (go Beach!), graduate studies with Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Western University of Health Sciences and entire career to the pelvis and center of the body. I love empowering, educating, and treating anyone with a pelvis. I was one of the first cohorts to pass the PRPC (Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification) in 2015 and have continued to take courses from Herman and Wallace, APTA, John Barnes, and many others. The furthest I traveled was Berlin, Germany to the International Fascia Conference in 2017- loads of fellow fascia nerds like me.

My style of therapy is mostly manual therapy or “hands on” approach, with myofascial release, connective tissue mobilization, trigger point release, soft tissue mobilization, nervous system down training along with guidance of therapeutic and breathing exercises. I use a shared responsibility model when working with people and appreciate being a part of people’s wellness programs. I love and appreciate collaborating with other providers including integrative nutritionists, naturopaths, functional and integrative physicians, PAs, movement specialists, psychotherapists, acupuncturists, and other highly skilled providers. I deeply believe as a pelvic rehabilitation specialist, pelvic, abdominal and breast physical therapy should be gold standard to anyone pregnant, post partum, pre and post urogynolgical, colorectal, and top/bottom surgeries along with wellness visits to support all phases of life in puberty, reproductive, menopause, and beyond.

Teaching is another professional passion of mine. I have had the honor of representing Herman and Wallace and teach the first cohort of Pelvic PTs in Kenya in 2019. I have also taught the Doctoral Physical Therapy students at Chapman and West Coast University along with multiple community lectures all over Southern California. Like I say to students and patients all the time- I feel like I am sharing the best secrets…. Improving bedroom, bathroom, birthing and so much more!

Out of the office, I love enjoying nature, yoga, live music, and adventuring with my partner and kiddo.

I feel honored to start 2024 with a CanvasRebel interview, here is the link https://canvasrebel.com/meet-sherine-aubert/
