EPISODE 015

Have I mentioned that I love to interview trailblazers and visionaries in the OT profession? I also love when these trailblazing OTs really lean into curriculum design and program development, helping to pave the way for more therapists to do this work. Which is why I am thrilled to be featuring Laura Rowan in today’s episode, an OT that is quickly developing a name for herself in the world of pelvic health AND professional development. 

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• What helped Laura jump from the world of SNF and geriatrics to pelvic health therapist and purpose-driven entrepreneur

• How Laura inadvertently signed up for her first pelvic floor course, not quite knowing what she was getting herself into

• Why pelvic health helped her to rediscover her passion for OT

• The first time Laura discovered she could use her hands therapeutically to listen and communicate with the brain

• What Laura learned from working in the insurance world as a pelvic health therapist 

• How CoVid was an instigating factor in Laura creating her first professional development course

• The different ways Laura currently works with her clients through her practice

• A breakdown of Laura’s CEU-approved weekend course, PR-MATT (Pelvic Rehab Manual Assessment & Treatment Techniques)
