About Me
Hi, I’m Dr. Leelee—pelvic floor physical therapist, birth doula, yoga instructor, and founder of Mommaste Wellness.
My passion for physical therapy began when I was just six years old. After a severe work accident, my dad was told he’d never walk again. I went with him to nearly every physical therapy appointment, and I watched him go from barely pedaling a bike to running on a treadmill. That experience showed me the power of healing—and I knew I wanted to give that gift to others.
A Journey Rooted in Movement and Care
As a former Division I tennis player, I understood firsthand the importance of movement, recovery, and support. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) from Indiana University – Indianapolis, and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Hampton University in Virginia.
Since becoming a licensed physical therapist in 2016, I’ve specialized in pelvic floor therapy since 2017 and have taught prenatal yoga since 2017, adding mom and baby yoga in 2023. Through every stage of my career, I’ve been passionate about helping women feel strong, supported, and informed.
Why I Do This Work
When I became a mom myself, I was heartbroken knowing my own mother wouldn’t be there for my birth. That loss shaped my journey and inspired me to become a certified birth doula in 2022—not only to support others, but to support myself through that transition.
I know what it’s like to feel unsure, overwhelmed, or like you don’t have the guidance you need. I became the person I once needed—and now I offer that care to you.
Filling the Gaps in Women’s Healthcare
Most prenatal visits are short and focused on monitoring—but they rarely teach you how to actually prepare for birth physically and mentally. I created Mommaste Wellness to fill in those gaps.
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy pain, preparing for labor, recovering postpartum, or just want to feel more like yourself again—you don’t have to do it alone.
I combine physical therapy, yoga, breathwork, birth education, and doula support to help you move through this journey with confidence, comfort, and care.
💛 You deserve support that’s as strong as you are.
