As noted above, Katherine immediately made me feel comfortable talking about what are otherwise sensitive subjects. She was clear in terms of what the therapy will entail and what I can expect out of it. At no point did I feel awkward or uncomfortable, which is something given this type of therapy.

Katherine Ireland has been amazing to work with. I feel that she genuinely cares about not just my pelvic health but my overall well-being. She has offered me so many ideas on how to take care of my pelvic health, and her physical trigger point release techniques are extremely helpful! My pelvic area feels amazing after my last visit - she took what I thought was itchiness or burning and just gently held on that spot and the discomfort went away! I was blown away by how much better my pelvic floor feels after that appointment. It didn’t feel terrible before, but it just feels so relaxed now! My hips low back and hip flexors feel like there is more space and I can breathe better. Truly amazing what she can do!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
