FOUNDER + OWNER
Hi! I am Allison and I am a board-certified Occupational Therapist licensed in Iowa and Illinois and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I am a mom of an adventurous, kind, intelligent 4-year-old girl and a smiley, cuddly, climbing 2-year-old boy. I, like many women, had some challenges during pregnancy and postpartum which led me to become a women’s health therapist. I opened One Strong Woman Therapy, LLC to provide pelvic floor therapy, lactation support, sexual function/dysfunction interventions and bring QC women together to empower one another.
MEET THE TEAM
Kirstin
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I am a board-certified physical therapist licensed in the state of Iowa and Illinois. I have been a pelvic floor therapist for over a decade and have witnessed the wonderful evolution of pelvic floor care. New opportunities and education in the pelvic floor realm are so exciting and I love getting to share this information with my patients. Science rules! (If the Bill Nye theme song just started in your head, you're welcome.) I love providing a "toolbox" of tactics that empower my patients to take control of their own health. And it never hurts when there are a few laughs along the way. My husband and I are parents to a wonder little munchkin. I spend my spare time crafting, cooking, gardening, and entertaining my co-workers with random trivia facts.
Brooke
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Meet Brooke, our fantastic admin assistant who keeps everything running smoothly at the pelvic floor therapy office. When she's not at work, you'll find her lost in a good book or creating beautiful knitted masterpieces. Brooke enjoys spending quality time with her loving husband and adorable daughter. Her multitasking skills and friendly nature make her an irreplaceable part of our team!
Catie
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I am a board certified doctor of physical therapy in both Illinois and Iowa. I have been a physical therapist for over 5 years specializing in pediatric and neurological populations. I have taken courses on pediatric pelvic health to better serve the Quad Cities and surrounding areas. What drew me to One Strong Woman was the incredible message of empowering + supporting women and children to optimize their health throughout their journey - whatever that may be. When I am not working, I love to bake, play board games, and run. I have an energetic and playful rescue puppy that keeps my husband and I very busy.
Laiken
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
I am a board-certified occupational therapist licensed in Iowa and also certified in dry needling! I recently received my degree from Drake University and had the wonderful opportunity to complete my Capstone rotation at One Strong Woman Therapy, giving me a unique insight on the incredible dynamic of the clinic and build relationships with my future coworkers and patients. I was drawn to pelvic floor therapy because of how empowering and inspiring it is to work with women across the lifespan, especially those that are current athletes or looking to get back into exercising. When I am not at OSW, I enjoy going on walks with my dogs Daisy and Bruno, trying new restaurants, reading, and hanging out with my family, my boyfriend, and the hometown girls.
Ashley
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
I am a board-certified occupational therapist, licensed in Iowa. I have been a practicing therapist for nearly 15 years with a multitude of experiences with people across the lifespan. I started out in pediatrics and am so eager to be working with kids again. I am a wife and mom to two grade-school aged boys, who keep me busy watching their sports events, creating Lego builds, and brushing up on all my Disney trivia. I was inspired to join the One Strong Woman team after my own experiences. My family was on the receiving end of care here at OSW and we felt so welcome! Now as a member of the team, I love the supportive and knowledgeable colleagues, positive environment, and emphasis on person centered care. I am here to help your family navigate through challenges with lactation, infant feeding, and pediatric pelvic health. I firmly believe these are paths we should not be walking alone!
Alyssa
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I am a board-certified physical therapist licensed in Iowa and Illinois. I am also board certified in orthopedic physical therapy and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. I received my degree from Azusa Pacific University in California, but knew I wanted to return home to the Quad Cities to start my career as a physical therapist. I had been working as a physical therapist for 6 years seeing a lot of post-surgical patients and sports injuries, but after having my son in 2023 and having pelvic floor-related issues of my own, I knew I wanted to advance my skills and start helping other women who had been through similar setbacks. I am an avid weightlifter and enjoy running and walking and if you are struggling with either of those things due to incontinence or pelvic pain, I am here to help! When I am not at OSW, I try to enjoy all the fun things the QC has to offer with my husband Dan and son Carter, going to local breweries, farmers markets, biking on the river path, and spending time with girl friends.
Rachel
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
I am a board certified occupational therapist licensed in both Iowa and Illinois. I was drawn to pelvic floor therapy after having my son while still in grad school. Now as a mom of 2, serving women and mothers is my passion. There is no better place to do that than at OSW! Hearing each woman’s story and strength is the best part of my job. Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find me sipping iced coffee at a park or at a Tex-Mex restaurant with my kiddos and husband.
