Hi, I’m Dr. Amelia — a movement-minded pelvic floor physical therapist with a deep belief that your body, your story, and your care should never be one-size-fits-all.

My many years in both pelvic health and orthopedics allows me to take a whole-body approach to your care — whether we’re working through postpartum changes, pain with movement or intimacy, return to lifting or running, or anything in between. I made the switch to pelvic health when I realized how life-changing and underserved this area of care truly is — and I’ve never looked back. From your jaw to your pelvic floor to your feet, it’s all connected — and it all matters.

My goal in every session is to help you understand what’s going on in your body, feel safe and supported in your experience, and make real progress toward feeling strong and confident in how you move through the world.

I love working with folks who are ready to get answers and make real progress — especially active people, postpartum folks, or anyone who’s been dismissed or underwhelmed by traditional PT. I’m not here to tell you to stop lifting, running, or doing the things you love — I’m here to help you get back to them with less pain and more confidence.

✨When I’m Not in the Clinic...

You’ll find me soaking up the beautiful Denver sunshine with my husband and dog — hiking, playing pickleball, or going for a long walk with a good coffee in hand. I’m an avid reader (fantasy, romance, and mystery are my jam), and traveling to new places is my favorite pastime. I am a concert enthusiast, and a big believer that a perfectly curated playlist is a form of therapy — bonus points if you compliment the music in my treatment room.

What my patients have to say…

  • Christine

    “I can't recommend Amelia enough! She is not only incredibly kind and friendly but also exceptionally informed and professional. A true leader in her field, she goes above and beyond to ensure her patients feel cared for and meet their goals. If you're looking for a physical therapist who genuinely makes a difference in the Denver area, Amelia is the one!”

  • Elizabeth

    “Dr. Amelia is such an amazing Pelvic Floor PT! I have been to multiple PTs and she really addressed the whole body to address areas of weakness and tightness and my body feels soooo much better. She is so knowledgeable and knows her skill level is top notch.”

  • Josie

    “Amelia is the best! She is professional and knowledgeable, while at the same time making you feel comfortable and relaxed. She explains everything thoroughly in a way that's easy to understand, and is great about answering questions and keeping communication open. I am already feeling a huge difference in my pelvic floor, and my abdomen is gaining sensation and mobility--even 10 and 12 years after my Cesarean births! I'm totally impressed and recommend Amelia to all people who have a pelvic floor.”

  • Brynn

    “I am so happy I found Amelia! She made me feel completely at ease from day one and always took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. Amelia was available for a quick text when I needed advice or had a questions on anything. Her exercise recommendations were super helpful and allowed me to keep working out safely throughout my pregnancy. Because of her advice and support, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery were so much more manageable. Amelia is super kind, compassionate, and just genuinely fun to be around. Highly, highly recommend Amelia!”

  • Sara

    “Ameila is absolutely incredible! She does such a thorough exam to find exactly what is happening in the body and can communicate everything so clearly. I left her office feeling incredible and cannot wait to go back!”

  • Shannon

    “I am just getting started with Dr. Amelia but I already know I’ve made the right choice for my care. Having seen multiple PTs in the past to address hip pain with running, she already has me back on my feet after two sessions and feeling confident even during my first trimester of pregnancy! As an occupational therapist myself I know I will be referring clients to her in the future.”

  • Christy

    “I love Dr. Amelia! I had no idea that after having large babies 15 years ago it was not too late to work on the pelvic floor to stop leaking. After working with Dr. Amelia, I no longer feel the urge to go to the bathroom when I don’t really need to, leaking has improved drastically, and I can jump a lot more than I could before. Dr. Amelia is kind, caring, and encouraging. She cares about my mental well-being as well as physical. I love that I can be myself with her. She has been a blessing for me!”

  • Cynthia

    “There’s so many qualities I can use to describe Dr. Amelia, but the ones that always stand out are her kindness and intelligence to provide proper treatment. I’ve been dealing with pelvic floor issues for almost 5 years. I visited MANY doctors and none of them could tell me what I had, and even less to find a solution to my problem. A few months ago, after hearing wonderful compliments about Dr. Amelia from another doctor, I quickly made an appointment with her. Since then, I made such a HUGE progress that I can happily say the symptoms are almost gone. Dr. Amelia is simply MARVELOUS! She listens and truly cares for her patients. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
