Meet Karissa Dowling - Your Pelvic Health Therapist Serving the Tri-Cities in East Tennessee
I could not have understood how much hormones impacted my body until I saw the wavy lines on the graph. It was a few years ago, and I was looking for answers.
I was reading about estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH and my head was spinning. I knew those pesky, invisible molecules had influenced my monthly cycle. I remember an emotional shift when I started birth control; I noticed my body react aggressively during pregnancy as my baby grew; and of course, the rollercoaster of postpartum recovery was another hormonal “adventure”. But at least I heard people talk about those expected transitions.
Then I hit midlife. Nobody warned me that this time was the biggest transition. This was a time when hormones would again dictate how I felt physically and emotionally. I felt unprepared. I felt off balance. I even felt a little desperate. I quickly discovered that I wasn’t alone.
Once I started finding answers for myself, I could see what I had been missing, and how much help was possible.
I became a pelvic floor therapist who could provide the type of support, guidance, and holistic lens that I knew more folks needed.
And so Pelvic Health and Healing was born. You don’t have to navigate the physical and emotional impact alone. We support adults in midlife with leaking or pelvic pain, achieve confidence and connection in their lives again.
If you are curious to learn more, I invite you book a free 15 minute discovery call with me.
Meet Valerie Joseph,
our registered nurse
I began my wellness career as a Fitness Trainer over 20 years ago. I created personalized plans for my clients to achieve their goals and as the saying goes, if you enjoy what you do you will never work a day in your life. I enjoyed it so much I never worked one day! Having a positive impact on someone’s life, and sharing in their success makes for an amazing career. As I continued to gain education and experience, I became interested in learning more about the medical issues my clients were experiencing and I didn’t want to simply teach them how to adapt, but how to prevent illness. I decided to become a Registered Nurse with the focus on prevention of disease. I became passionate about educating patients in terms that they could understand and relate to, and helping empower them to make better decisions about their own health. This is my goal for you as a patient at Pelvic Health and Healing. I am honored to help you live your best life!

Focused Expertise in Pelvic Health: We offer biofeedback training along with traditional pelvic health treatment.
