What our community is saying...
"This has been such an awesome experience - I can't stop telling people about it!
I know there are some students/clinicians out there who already know that pelvic health is their passion and are just looking to learn academic and clinical content to start practicing asap. I definitely wasn't in that boat; I didn't really know what pelvic health was and knew I wanted mentorship, guidance, and a community with resources.
Being part of the Pelvic Health Kickstarter Academy has empowered me with knowledge and confidence to take the next steps towards my dream career. Don't underestimate the power of mentorship and community! The Academy provides both of those things as well as academic content."
Michelle, PT Student
"The PHKA has been such an incredible experience! Julia is an absolute wealth of knowledge, encouragement, and positive energy. The community that I was introduced to through the Academy has been life changing and career igniting!
In PT school I had no idea there was such a large population of students and clinicians like me that were interested in pelvic floor, but didn't know where to start. The Kickstarter Academy has not only armed me with the foundational knowledge for pelvic floor PT, it has also plugged me into an incredible group of like-minded individuals that I am excited to live and grow with well beyond the conclusion of this fantastic course. I can not recommend Julia and the Kickstarter Academy enough!
If you are a pre-PT, SPT, or entry level clinician interested in diving into the world of pelvic health, this course is for you!! There are several great introductory pelvic floor courses out there, but The Academy is a step above the others for several reasons. On top of the foundational didactic knowledge, you also are plugged in to a community of like-minded individuals to travel your path with you, you received top notch individualized mentoring, you have opportunities to interact with superstars in the world of pelvic health through live interview sessions, you get to plan for the future with pelvic health specific interview preparation... the list goes on!!"
Christina B, PT Student
“You rock, Julia! I am so blessed that I found you! I was so disappointed and distraught with how quickly I began feeling burned out in the traditional PT world. You have inspired me to start my own mobile practice and be the Physical Therapist that I know I can be when I'm able to fully recharge and practice with autonomy. Thank you!”
Dr. Emily B, Mama Bear Fitness and Physical Therapy
