“I've had 3 pelvic PTs and Susan is the best! She made me feel very comfortable with the whole process and really tailored my sessions to my specific needs. She helped me through setbacks and celebrated my wins with me. I am so grateful for finding her and highly recommend her to anyone considering pelvic floor therapy"!”

“I went to Susan for postpartum treatment and I could not be happier with my experience. Susan made me feel so comfortable from the start and she helped my healing process tremendously. She is extremely knowledgeable/experienced in this field- I was able to learn so much from her. You can tell Susan truly cares about helping you feel better and addressing any concerns. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Because Dr. Y is strictly a pelvic rehab specialist, no two patients get the same exact treatment. You plan of care is always customized to you.
Not only does Dr. Y have advanced trauma training, but as an occupational therapist, she is trained in the nervous system, mental health, and the roles these systems play in daily self-care tasks, which includes ensuring a safe, neuroaffirming space for all clientele.

Dr. Y continues to participate in the advancement of her profession, presenting at local and national conferences, is featured on podcasts, and is recognized throughout the world as a specialist in gender-affirming pelvic health.
Dr. Y believes that occupational justice is at the core foundation of pelvic rehabilitation; everyone with a pelvis deserves to be seen by a specialist.

During the second set of 4 visits, we are going to retrain your body - and yes - more homework! And during the last set, we are going to ensure you are strong enough to maintain a functional, pain-free life, which is not going to feel like homework anymore because you will have established strong habits and routines to support your ongoing health.

Mya says..."Compassionate and effective pelvic floor care during pregnancy I started seeing Dr. Yebra while I was pregnant. I was experiencing severe pain in my tailbone, hips, and pubic bone that was preventing me from doing normal activities or sitting comfortably. Susan treated me with care and compassion, taking extra precautions to make me feel comfortable and safe during our sessions. Over the course of my treatment, my pain improved significantly, and I was able to resume daily walks and sit with minimal discomfort. She even went above and beyond to teach my husband some assisted stretches we could do at home and during labor. I am incredibly grateful for her support and expertise during my pregnancy and would recommend her services to anyone looking for personalized and supportive pelvic floor therapy.”
Heather says...“I can’t say enough good things about Susan! I was very nervous reaching out for help postpartum, but she made the whole experience very comfortable and listened to everything I had to say. She prepared me for getting ready to go back to work and get back into exercising which I’m so grateful for!”
Katie says..“I cannot say enough amazing things about Susan at Encompass Pelvic Therapy. I’m currently pregnant and was dealing with pretty intense tailbone pain—to the point where sitting was really uncomfortable. After working with Susan, I felt relief almost immediately and was able to sit again with no pain, which honestly felt like a miracle.
Beyond that, she has been incredibly helpful in preparing me for labor. As a first-time mom, that guidance has been invaluable and gave me so much more confidence going into this next phase.
Susan truly knows what she’s doing. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and makes the entire experience feel so comfortable and supportive. I always felt at ease during our sessions, which makes such a difference, especially during pregnancy.
I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially expecting moms dealing with discomfort or looking to feel more prepared for labor!”
