With 22 years experience primarily in the inpatient setting, she recently opened a small business mentoring therapists on neurogenic bowel/bladder. This spring, she left inpatient and negotiated the first OT position in her hospital based pelvic health outpatient clinic. Her passion is continence training no matter what the diagnosis but her background is training SCI patients, caregivers, and staff. She is thrilled to specialize in pelvic health. Her claim to fame is being on the Oprah Show to promote women's safety on college campuses. In her free time, she loves making home grown bouquets, learning to quilt, mountain biking, and hanging out with her dog.

Sarah has been an OT for over 20 years in multiple practice settings, from the NICU to retirement communities (her youngest patient was a 27 week preemie, and oldest was 106!) While she has loved being an OT in every practice setting she has worked in, she has truly found her calling in pelvic health over the past 4-5 years. Her other passions include teaching and supervising students, and research. She is faculty at Shenandoah University's Division of Occupational Therapy, and owns a mobile outpatient pelvic health practice in Northern Virginia called Balanced Pelvic Health. When she's not geeking out about all things OT and pelvic health, you can find her spending time with her husband, 3 kids, and cat.
