About
Colleen Shovlin, MS, OTR/L, ECHM, PCES
Hi! I’m Colleen, the owner and therapist at Axis Pelvic Floor Therapy and Wellness. I am a pelvic floor occupational therapist, a wife, a mom, a pre and postnatal corrective exercise specialist and an integrative women’s health coach.
I have 14 years of experience working as an OT in a variety of rehabilitation settings, assisting adults of all ages regain function and independence after acute injury, surgery and exacerbation of chronic illness. My passion for women’s health and pelvic floor therapy really began after my first child was born and I experienced my own pelvic floor changes and challenges. After going to pelvic floor therapy myself and experiencing first hand it’s benefits, I was ready to help other women on their own pelvic health journey’s.
As a therapist and health coach, I believe that you are the CEO of your body, your health and your wellness. I am merely a facilitator on your journey, providing you with the tools you need to get better.
My goal is to always help you feel heard, validated and comfortable. In the end, I want to ensure that you have a successful experience and are 100% satisfied when you choose to partner with me.
If you have ever been to outpatient occupational or physical therapy before, you will notice right away that my practice is different. How so?
Sessions are always one-to-one and are longer to allow for adequate care.
Evaluations are 90 minutes to 2 hours in length
Treatment sessions are always 60 minutes in length
The computer is completely out of the way ~ I am focused on YOU throughout the appointment, actively listening.
Treatments are individualized for you, not cookie cutter ~ I work with you to determine what you really need and what is realistic in your life.
You are not just another patient or medical record number ~ you are a person who has chosen to specifically work with me. Your care and progress is of the utmost importance to me.
