From the reviews
…The dry needling and cupping she has done for me has relieved the hip/lower back pain I was experiencing. She is a great teacher and has educated me about helpful prenatal stretches, body mechanics, healthy bowel/bladder patterns, preventing tears, and more. I highly recommend Dr. Sarah Catherine as a pelvic floor PT!
…She did dry needling, cupping, sound wave therapy, traditional stretching and strengthening exercises, and took away any stigma or discomfort. Weather you are pregnant or not, you do not have to live in the pain, discomfort, or just deal with it!
I was dealing with what felt to me like an urgent pelvic floor issue when I called Empowered Wellness. I was at the lowest of my lows regarding symptoms, and I called the front desk in tears, telling them I had never been seen there but was in desperate need to see a PT.
Stephanie is one of the most personal people you will ever meet. She is incredibly thorough educated and “empowering”. I wish I would’ve known about her prior to having children so anyone who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant or even after she is a great resource.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
