About Us

Tara, owner of Desert Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health, has over a decade of clinical experience with both men’s and women’s pelvic floor dysfunction. She graduated from A.T Still University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She possesses an in-depth knowledge and empathy of the emotional and psychological stresses that can accompany any dysfunction. This comes from a personal journey and understanding through her own dealings with pelvic floor dysfunction. She also hails from a long lineage of physicians, nurses and clinicians in the field of women’s health, obstetrics, and gynecology. Her passion is to revolutionize the way that both women and men recover from low back, hip, and pelvic floor injuries. She pursues this through innovative education, evidence based rehabilitation, advanced manual therapy techniques, and return to fitness programs that promote diaphragm and pelvic floor integration into core strengthening and stability programs.

Tara is a registered yoga therapist, trained in myofascial release and utilizes advanced biofeedback techniques to achieve quicker, lasting results for her patients.

Tara specializes in treating pelvic floor pain due to trauma, infections, post surgical, and dyspareunia (painful sex), as well as stress and urge incontinence, interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis and post prostatectomy dysfunction in men.
When not trying to change the world one pelvic floor at a time, she is focused on her other passions: being a mom to Danny and Tyler and wife to her husband Jeff.

Haley, owner of Revive physical therapy and pelvic health, earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northern Arizona University. She has years of experience in treating a wide variety of conditions ranging from orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, geriatrics and pediatrics. Haley found her passion in treating pelvic floor conditions for her own health and well-being and advanced her education and skills in treating pelvic floor disorders with a mission to better educate the community on pelvic floor health and what is “normal versus abnormal.”

Haley treats a variety of conditions including low back pain, hip pain, SI-joint dysfunctions, prenatal/post-partum healing and strengthening, pelvic floor pain, abdominal pain, urinary and fecal incontinence, over-active bladder, dyspareunia (pain with intercourse) and pelvic organ prolapse.

Haley’s treatment approach is highly individualized and is geared towards empowering the patient to take control of his or her own healing journey. Her hands-on treatment approach includes manual therapy skills, myofascial release, breathing and relaxation techniques, postural retraining, biofeedback, dry-needling, and therapeutic exercise.

Haley is a strong believer in the importance of balance in life. So, when away from work she is traveling the world with her husband, exploring the outdoors, working in her garden, or spending time with her family.

Tami has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000 and a certified yoga and Pilates instructor since 2006. Tami began a personal practice of yoga in 1998 and Pilates a couple years later.

Tami received training through physiotherapist and yoga therapist, Neil Pearson’s, Pain Care Yoga courses. Working alongside physical therapists, Tami works with those who want to use the ancient art of yoga blended with modern science to develop a healthy, mindful movement practice. Tami emphasizes the use of awareness, breath, moving and inhabiting the body with more ease and less tension, mindfulness-based relaxation and meditation. Active and restorative yoga are both utilized. Tami offers Pilates as a way to enhance movement variety, coordination and strength. Tami completes continuing education workshops in Pilates through the Physical Therapy based Polestar Pilates. She also offers relaxation massage therapy as a helpful way to help find more ease in the body and mind. With a ceaseless curiosity of the sciences and art of movement, she designs her sessions with clients to explore movement in a way that is supportive for their individual needs. She also has a strong interest in what mindful movement allows us to discover about ourselves — body, mind, heart, soul, the world around us, and how it all connects. Tami’s hope is to inspire others to mindfully and compassionately support the whole-self in a way that enables and empowers their pursuit of what is meaningful in life. When not working, Tami spends time with her husband, three dogs and cat.
