Your Pelvic Health Specialist Serving Northern Colorado
Johanna Schmitz (She, Her)
MS, OTR/L, Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), Owner
I am originally a Midwest girl whose love of the sun and nature drew her to Colorado. In 2021 I graduated from Colorado State University with a Master’s of Occupational Therapy. My passion for pelvic health originated from my own struggles with pelvic floor dysfunction including a diagnosis of PCOS, pelvic pain, pain with sex, and my recent transition to motherhood through the birth of my daughter. Through my own journey I have experienced the isolation, uncertainty, and feelings of shame that often times come with these difficulties and transitions in life. Through my own journey I have realized that I don’t have to be defined by these feelings or difficulties.
This is why I named my practice Thriving Pelvic Health. We are not meant to just live with this pain, pelvic health difficulties, and navigating life’s transitions on our own but we are meant to thrive and live life to the fullest. As I am learning how to do this in my own life it feeds my passion to help others do the same.
I want to help individuals navigate and feel empowered to manage pelvic pain, pain with sex, navigate urinary dysfunction, and the transitions of life including motherhood, menopause, and many other transitions. Creating a space where individuals feel safe navigating these difficulties while also feeling heard, seen, and supported to meet their goals is my number one priority. I approach evaluation and treatment with a holistic perspective not just addressing physical healing, but emotional and mental health as well. I care deeply about empowering you to understand your body and learning how to thrive in everyday life. My practice is unique in that you can receive therapy in the comfort of your own home.

Here’s how we help:
Eliminate leaking naturally
Your pelvic floor is like any other muscle in your body. It needs to be able to go through full range of motion. Most leaking is resolved after we work on restoring your pelvic floor’s natural range of motion and with modifications to habits and routines.
Enjoy intimacy again
Experiencing pelvic pain is incredibly common postpartum and with other diagnoses such as endometriosis, but it should not be something that you have to navigate alone. With our holistic approach and innovative strategies we can help reduce the pain symptoms no matter how long the pain has existed and give you a wide variety of techniques to start enjoying intimacy again.
Feel like yourself again
We work to empower you to return to activities you need and love to do. We know that the answer isn’t to just give you a set of exercises and send you on your way. We teach you strategies to connect to your body, move pain-free, feel more confidence in whatever transition you are in, and reach the goals that are important to you. And we do it in a way that fits into YOUR lifestyle.
