I am writing to share my sincere gratitude for the wonderful care I have received at Pelvic Sanity. I am 78 years old and was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) in 2008. Over the past 18 years, I have worked with several urologists and physical therapists, and while PT has always helped manage my IC, my experience at Pelvic Sanity has truly helped getting close to "breaking the cycle of pain." My treatment has consisted of weekly, one-on-one sessions with Dr. Sara VanStratton. Each session includes dedicated time for questions and answers, hands-on fascia therapy, and practical tools and exercises for homework. Dr. Sara is excellent at explaining healing strategies, and she spends the full 60 minutes completely engaged in what I am experiencing. She has been a joy to know and work with. Pelvic Sanity's holistic approach to movement, bodywork, and breathwork has been a game changer for me. Although I was already aware of diaphragmatic breathing, Dr. Sara was amazing at helping me successfully integrate it into my daily routine. As a result, I am now experiencing fewer bathroom trips both during the day and throughout the night. Thank you for your impactful approach to care. Best regards, Linda Navarro read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mikkie Souza. I started seeing her for pelvic pain that I have dealt with for a long time. I've seen other pelvic pain providers and they don't compare. She is incredibly knowledgeable, highly intuitive, and always willing to think outside the box. I feel better every single time after seeing her, and each session is somehow exactly what I needed and more. Thanks to her, I am on a journey to healing that I never thought was possible! read more

I am so impressed with this facility and all the people in it. All professional, caring and responsive. I have been seeing Nicole for some pelvic floor issues and she is fantastic. She definitely has a calling for this work and is a real hero in my book for doing this for women. She helped remove any embarrassment or issues related to this sensitive issue and treated me with kindness and respect. Her techniques and homework have truly helped my issue and I'm forever grateful. Highly recommend. read more

I started seeing Dr. Faith in my third trimester of my first pregnancy. She helped me so much with my pain and mobility in those final weeks. Not only that, she was significantly helpful in preparing me for labor! We tested what positions would be best for my body and walked through breathing techniques and more. I felt so prepared for birth thanks to her! I was so grateful for my care that I came back to see Dr. Faith again during postpartum. She helped me with my c-section scar recovery, rebuilding my core strength and fixing my ab separation, as well as treating my back and core which were tight and sore from breastfeeding. I genuinely believe I'd be much worse off if I hadn't received her care and kindness. This was my first time going somewhere for pelvic floor therapy and I was worried it would be awkward or uncomfortable. I couldn't have been more wrong! Dr. Faith was so respectful, gentle, and kind. She told me everything she was going to do before she did it and made sure I was ok as we did the treatments. The facility itself is also great! Parking is a breeze, the office is easy to find. The staff have always been so kind and considerate for scheduling appointments. I only wish they took insurance but the value I get out of my visits is totally worth paying out of pocket for. read more

This business does not care about their patients. I visited consistently for 4 months. After which, a sensitive issue arose and when I tried to contact the owners, or anyone who would listen to me, I was met with an email response letting me know that they do not care about my experience and they won't be giving me a call. My phone calls went unanswered from that point on (they knew it was me with caller ID), and my messages went unreturned. My experience here was disappointing and traumatizing. I have never been treated so poorly by any business, ever. Take your business elsewhere, this business does not deserve your time, money or vulnerability. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. They only care about getting you in for an overly expensive 'initial evaluation' appointment, then just become extremely unhelpful and unavailable. There are much better and more compassionate providers in the area. Look elsewhere. read more

I came to Faith because I was getting up to use the bathroom 4-5 times a night. Within a couple months of treatment, I now only get up once or twice! I would highly recommend Faith! read more

This is the best pelvic floor therapy place in OC! I was so impressed with the kindness and professionalism from everyone, from the first phone call, to the front desk, to the physical therapist, Dr. Sahar. The environment is very comfortable and professional and I felt listened to and taken care of. I feel so much more confident now that they have helped me resolve my diastasis recti after two pregnancies/births. Highly recommend to anyone needing help with pelvic issues! read more

I fractured my tailbone in July 2022 which got healed but the constant pain was there along with extreme lower back and other issues. I was told by so many people that I will have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I was recommended to PelvicSanity by my PT in BayArea when I moved to OC and I am so glad I reached out to PelvicSanity. During the evaluation, Dr. Lesley identified the issues right away, explained them to me and jumped right in. I was well informed of her plan during each visit and it worked like wonders for me. I started feeling better since the first visit itself and I am almost pain free in just a few weeks. I was unable to sit on the floor without pain and perform certain yoga routine but now I can not only sit on the floor without cushion, I can perform all the exercises like before without any pain at all. Dr. Lesley is extremely detailed oriented, punctual, and her expertise is unparalleled. She shared not just the exercises but all the tools that she was using for me to educate me and taught me how to use it myself, as and when needed. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Lesley's attention, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pelvic floor specialist. I am thankful to the entire PelvicSanity team. read more

Dr. Faith Crary is amazing to work with! I started going to PT at 5 weeks PP and I learned so much from her! Initially I just wanted to be proactive and get to PT to ensure I'd safely return to exercising after getting cleared, but I learned so much more from her about the pelvic floor, correct form, & orthopedics in general. She is so great at hearing you out and explaining the why behind everything which was super important to me. She always made me comfortable and went above and beyond to help me and answer all of my questions. I highly recommend her for your pelvic floor therapy, she is extremely knowledgeable! read more

This place has bad specialists working there and questionable ethics. (Do yourself a favor- leave this page and get yourself Luna app- super professional PTs, will come to your place, take insurance and you won't be treated like a peasant by lords) Now my story: I went there at 6 months pregnant with pelvic pain. Their doctor (Lorri- seemed to be a sweet lady) did the diagnostics and gave me 3 simple exercises to do for 2 min a day. I did them at home as she said and instantly felt discomfort. After 2 hours I COULD NOT WALK neither roll over in bed. (Which lasted for 3 days) I got scared called them and asked the doctor to call me back bc I couldn't walk after exercises - she emailed me by the end of the day, saying- oh, just stop the exercises. - I already did stop since I can't stand up, what to do with immobility?! The next day we spoke on the phone ( I'm still in bed- had to cancel work) she started blaming it on me- that it's me who did her exercises wrong, like a child that can't take responsibility for prescribing the wrong thing that stressed my issue even more. (Mistakes happen- just own it!) So I called the owner- Jesse explained what happened, and asked for a refund- that's the least they could do for handicapping me for 3 days. He said they don't give refunds, bc they are a medical facility. "Kind of like pills that you get a side effect from"- He said. I asked maybe they can reimburse me with a session with another doctor- he responded: "NO, IT WON"T BE A GOOD MATCH!" What??? As a business owner myself I can say- the fish rots from it's head. My opinion if they treat people like this they don't deserve our money. PTs from Luna are super awesome- they fixed the issue. As a second opinion they stated that dr. Lorri did make a mistake. So yes, no human with dignity is a good match you and your business, Jesse. Please don't write me fake apologies here just bc people are reading- I know where you stand. Hope no one will have go through what I experienced with this place. Ew. read more

I did Pelvic PT previously in 2016 at Mission Womens Wellness, who took insurance and was very helpful. This year my GI recommended therapy again and did not specify a therapist. Called MWW but it would be a month before I could start, so called around. Pelvic Sanity's website says "Speak To A Human" (see photo). I called during business hours and was surprised to get a voicemail so left a message. Never received a call back period. I read more about them and discovered they do not take insurance, and provide Super-Bills. Note some insurances will not reimburse Super-Bills and if they do the amount is usually based on what they would pay the provider...not 100% so the rest is on you. I found a Pelvic therapist who took my insurance and has been a great experience. Mentioned Pelvic Sanity on my recent GI follow up and he no longer refers patients there. Also mentioned them to my manual PT, who I have been with for 17 years and she does not refer patients to Pelvic Sanity for several reasons including the insurance issue. I pay for insurance and don't have deep pockets to pay for these cash only "Boutique" facilities. If you can't afford cash try MWW, Ocean PT or Luna App with PT's who come to your home. read more

Faith Crary at Pelvic Sanity is an exceptional therapist. For 16 long years, I struggled with numbness in my left foot post c-section, and doctors had no answers. Then I met Faith. Her compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable approach made all the difference. She listened, explained things clearly, and most importantly, gave me hope. Thanks to Faith, I'm now experiencing sensations in my foot again! If you're feeling overlooked by the medical community, Faith is a beacon of hope. Highly recommend her extraordinary care. In addition, the front office was always friendly and helpful. Thank you! read more

Currently trying to get ahold of the owner about a very serious situation about the care I received and have reached out 2 times with no response. read more

Best PT!! I've been going to Nicole for at least five years and then when I got pregnant I was really excited that I already found her! She helped me tremendously during my pregnancy. She gave me exercises, she helped with my body as it was changing every week and month. I really think I had a really good pregnancy due to Nicole's care. I think especially if you're pregnant, it's a must to have pelvic physical therapy! I did not have any pain during my pregnancy and was healthy and had lots of energy! I am so thankful to Nicole and the team at pelvic sanity, and I highly recommend!! The staff is incredibly nice and very professional. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and good. I am so happy I found Nicole . read more

I have been struggling with years of anxiety with my bladder issues and painful periods Lesley has helped me identify what my underlying problem was when doctors wouldn't listen to me. She identified I had a cyst in my ovary and told me I had all the yellow flags of PCOS and finally got my OBGYN to run tests after her findings.She is incredibly knowledgeable and such a caring person overall. Do no hesitate to book an appointment with her. read more

I was recently diagnosed with a rectocele posterior vaginal prolapse which completely scared and depressed me! My gyno gave me vaginal inserts & told me to go home and research rectocele. I was devastated so searched the internet for everything I could find regarding this issue. That is when I learned about pelvic health and strengthening the pelvic floor. Which led me to PELVIC SANITY. My experience with Sahar was unbelievably reassuring. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding prolapse and I was instantly reassured that we could improve this condition. I highly recommend PELVIC SANITY if you are in need of answers. I was enlightened and very optimistic regarding my issue after my first appointment with Sahar. Joan Dunlop read more

Mallorie is the absolute BEST! She is deeply caring and so intelligent. She goes way above and beyond to make sure that you are living your healthiest and best life! Pelvic floor therapy is really expensive, but you will not regret seeing her! read more

Sahar and PelvicSanity increased my quality of life so, so much during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. I had SI joint pain so severe that I could barely function. Traditional PT and chiropractic didn't help at all, and even my OB's office thought that I would remain in pain until after giving birth. Sahar is very knowledgeable and after a few weeks of working with her, my pain has remained 85%-95% resolved, allowing resume my regular activities even during very late pregnancy. The admins are also great - everything at PelvicSanity runs very smoothly. read more

Dr. Nicole is a fabulous and so is her entire team. I was a patient years ago and needed to return. I wanted to see Dr. Nicole again because she helped me when no one else could. I hesitantly saw one of her colleagues, Dr. Ellen, and I am so very glad I did. Dr. Ellen is kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. She is very approachable and listened to what I had to say. She made me feel heard and well cared for. She is equally as wonderful as Dr. Nicole. My visit today left me feeling hopeful that I am on the right track. I cannot recommend Pelvic Sanity more highly. The entire team truly cares about your health and well being. read more

I got scammed! My gynecologist recommended this place for urinary incontinence. I went there five times before I was told you don't you dont smell like pee it's probably hormonal! She was sticking her finger up me for what ? What was she treating me for . I was signed up for 5 more visits which I canceled. I called and talked with the office manager . She said she would talk to Sahar and call me back. I left a message and 2 emails and she finally got back to me. She gave a very generic answer of course!she says their people are very skilled and trained and therefore no I won't be getting a refund! If they are so skilled why did it take her 5 visits to tell me I don't smell like pee? They are out of Network which means they don't deal with any insurance and it will cost you more! I spent over $1000 for what? I would give them negative stars if I could. I will be reporting them to my insurance and the BBB read more

Excellent care and super professional. They have really helped me. Many thanks! I have been working with them for about 3 months and have seen a big difference. read more

I've been working with Ellen for several months and it has been an excellent experience. She is my first physical therapist and has been helping me work through my pelvic floor dysfunction. Although my symptoms are mixed and seem to be caused by a wide variety of factors, Ellen has always been helpful in exploring different options and methods of treatment. She has more than once pointed me in directions I hadn't considered that really helped me improve. I appreciate that she has also suggested other specialists who might help me in conjunction with the appointments I have at Pelvic Sanity. The front staff is also very courteous. Mainly I speak with Carrie, who is friendly and professional. Overall I would highly recommend this office. It is expensive, but they don't use any high-pressure sales tactics and that makes a difference to me. If you can afford it and have been exhausted by a lack of results from your regular doctors, this might be a good choice for you. read more

Nicole has literally given me my life back! I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis and before I met her, I used to have to take 2 Advil EVERY HOUR just to be able to move around and function. She worked on me so effectively and over the years we have gone from a point where I would have to see her every week (with regular flare-ups) to now, where I see her once a month. I highly recommend Nicole and her entire staff to anyone who needs pelvic floor treatment read more

Nicole gave me my life back! I'm so grateful to have come across her knowledge and practice. Other doctors just didn't know what to do with me. Nicole did. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking help with Pelvic Floor issues and more. Thank you Nicole! read more

I had treatment done pre and post operation. This clinic checks all the boxes. Thank you for your great support during my recovery

I had the great pleasure of meeting with Dr. Cozean and I can say it is beyond clear that a she cares deeply for her patients and the practice of physical therapy. Pelvic floor PT is something that many women do not know about and generally would significantly benefit from. This also applies to many males. Consider getting checked out here for truly 5 star service. read more

I was terrified to start physical therapy and now I look forward to every visit. The people are amazing and my symptoms have gotten so much better. Could not recommend more. read more

I highly recommend PelvicSanity! Dr. Kelsey is so amazing and helped me tremendously. I've been to several different PT's postpartum and she was the first one who actually got to the root of my issues and helped me heal. She is super knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease in what can be an otherwise uncomfortable situation. The front desk staff are great too and my whole experience has been really positive. I'll definitely be back in the future for any PT needs! read more

God bless this place! I've had two sessions so far, and they have had a radical impact. Bonnie has pinpointed pelvic and abdominal issues related to my pain that no other doctor had even considered. I wish I could have come in 4 years ago, instead of being dismissed by so many other medical providers and suffering because of it. I'm in my early twenties. PelvicSanity isn't just for postpartum moms and elderly ladies (though I'm sure they experience incredible results too!) Bonnie has listened to all of the concerns I raise, some of which I've been trying to ask doctors about since I was in junior high. I feel respected, heard, and never belittled or dismissed. Even their lovely receptionist Linda adds to the welcoming environment. Thank you! read more

If you are looking for answers, then you have come to the right place! I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Dr. Cozean and Dr. Lasher (aka Nicole and Bonnie). After just a few treatments, I have finally gotten relief of symptoms that flew under the radar of my urologist and MDs for over 10 years. It is an absolute joy to meet healthcare providers who care about what they do. No more useless tests, sleepless nights, or hours searching on forums to figure out what is going on!! Thank you -Dr. Michaels PT, DPT read more

Very satisfying experience!! I loved going at pelvic sanity which helped me a lot after my postpartum. People are kind friendly and very knowledgeable. I worked with Amy who was great!!! I come from France and in Europe women almost always take pelvic floor therapy sessions after birth to strengthen the pelvic area again, which is challenged during pregnancy. I recommend!! read more

There are few medical professionals I trust. I hate to say that, but it's true. I've been excused more times than I can count. I have legitimately had an Urgent Care nurse ask me if I think that perhaps I was being "melodramatic". Really! But the amount of trust I have for the staff at Pelvic Sanity is above and beyond. Sharon Thompson, my P.T., is nothing but a wealth of information. In every appointment, she not only treats me physically, but educates me, sympathizes with me, and makes laugh. She makes an appointment that I could easily be very uncomfortable in and dread with the wrong doctor such a piece of cake. I always leave with encouragement and more resources and knowledge than I had coming in. She is the medical professional I trust first. Having been a patient at Pelvic Sanity for quite some time now, I was over the moon excited to hear about the newest addition to the team, a certified massage therapist, Michele! I'm an esthetician and work in a spa, but hate getting massages there simply because I can't go into work without wanting to work. I jumped on the chance to book an appointment with Michele, and it was absolutely wonderful. She is warm, inviting, and has a very nurturing spirit about her. Her touch is absolutely perfect. Never too light, never too firm, I left feeling like a total zombie. The search for a fantastic massage therapist in the area is over! read more

Pelvic Sanity is such a unique place. Most pelvic clinics have a bunch of PTs working around the clock in isolation. Pelvic Sanity has a unique vision. All the PTs have multiple specialties and they all work together on patient care. They also have the unique advantage that one of the owners is not a PT but spends his time doing research in the field. Both owners are dedicated to the integrity of their vision of a multi-disciplined collaborative pelvic care clinic. Check out their website or blog and you will see what I am talking about. read more

Dr. Ellen helped me feel so prepared for my first child birth experience. She also helped so much in the weeks after delivery to promote healing, and was really thorough, professional and thoughtful. She made what could had been an awkward experience much more enjoyable. The office is beautiful and serene. Carrie at the front desk was so helpful in scheduling my appointments. Thank you guys so much! read more

All women should be referred to a pelvic PT after having a child. Very glad I chose PelvicSanity to help with my recovery. You will feel welcome and comfortable here! read more

I started at Pelvic Sanity for my back and hip pain a few years ago after first trying chiropractor procedures, sports medicine physical therapy and supplementation/nutritional support. I have had appointments with both Nicole and Sharon and they are both extremely knowledgeable. The therapy I received and exercises I learned have been incredible helpful for both short term and long term chronic pain. read more

If you are looking to heal in the most peaceful and welcoming environment Pelvic Sanity is the place. Everyone is kind, professional and helpful. Michele the massage therapist has been helping me with my pain and stress management due to autoimmune disease. Her massages leave me feeling mentally and physically well. My husband also sees Michele for massage and we both highly recommend her. read more

Going to Pelvic Sanity was one of the best things I have ever done! I had no clue so much of my pain and discomfort had to do with my pelvic floor muscles. My urologist strongly recommended I start PT at Pelvic Sanity. During my first visit Nicole was able to find that my frequent urination had a lot to do with my muscles sending the wrong messages telling my brain I needed to pee. After the second visit my frequent urination decreased and the lower back pain I started having 3 months prior lessened significantly! A few more sessions and my back pain was gone. After 8 sessions the frequent urination was gone (unless I ate a food item that irritated my bladder). My quality of life has improved so much by doing pelvic floor PT with Nicole for 2 months. Thank you so much Nicole for restoring my life! read more

Nicole is amazing, passionate about what she does, and super knowledgeable. After 15 years of back pain, I came to find out from another PT that I actually had some issues with sacrum rotation/tilting and ligaments in my glutes that were actually a big cause of my lower back pain. He referred me to Nicole, as she could work on these ligaments more directly. After just a handful of treatments, Nicole was able to relax a lot of the spasming that had caused me so much pain for so many years. I never thought I needed a pelvic physical therapist, but I would happily go back to Nicole for anything in my low back/pelvic/hip area. read more
