Why Illume Pelvic Health Is Out-of-Network - and Why That Matters to You

There’s a reason more and more highly trained specialists are choosing to operate out-of-network: it allows us to provide care that’s truly centered around you — not what insurance companies decide is "necessary." At Illume Pelvic Health, I’ve chosen this model because it gives me the freedom to treat the whole person, not just the parts your insurance approves.

As a result, many of my patients come to me after trying physical therapy elsewhere — where care may have felt rushed, limited, or simply ineffective. My approach is different. It’s rooted in deep expertise, personalized treatment, and a belief that lasting change happens when your care is based on your unique needs - not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Rooted in the core beliefs of my clinic is this: If I’m not the right provider to help you heal, I will help you find who is. That’s part of my commitment to you. Our work doesn’t end when we hit a roadblock or run out of textbook solutions. It ends when you feel confident managing your symptoms, with the support and knowledge you need to thrive; whether that’s on your own or with a team of trusted providers.

At Illume, pelvic health is my specialty and my passion. I’m the only board-certified clinical specialist in women’s health (or more accurately, pelvic health) in the Temecula Valley. I was also the first in the region with advanced training in this field, and I’ve spent over a decade deepening that knowledge. I work with all genders and especially love treating men, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction.

Over the years, many local healthcare providers have come to see me as the “Hail Mary” — the provider they call when nothing else is working. If your symptoms are complex, unexplained, or persistent even after normal imaging and labs, this is where I do my best work. These are the patients I serve best; the ones who need someone to truly listen, investigate, and connect the dots.

If you're curious about what care can feel like when it’s actually built around you, I invite you to schedule an evaluation. Most patients don’t realize what they’ve been missing until they experience it for themselves.

I’m honored to do this work and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help you heal, grow, and thrive.
