MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE
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 was fortunate enough to be part of a family who encouraged discussion about pelvic wellness and found myself drawn to the speciality practice of pelvic floor therapy as a student at Saint Ambrose. Fast forward over a decade, and I could not see myself doing anything different (besides being as cool as Betty White, but I’m still working on that). I was drawn to One Strong Woman Therapy because of the positivity and support that vibrates through the clinic. A warmth exudes from everyone that fosters the healing process. My focus is to provide education to empower all of my patients, and possibly share a few laughs along the way. My husband and I share a lovely, cozy home with two mostly lovely cats. I enjoy crafting, trivia, cooking, gardening, and being a Scorpio in my spare time.
Amy
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
I'm a wife, mom, grandma, and an Admin Assistant at OSW Therapy. I love working in a homey environment with a wonderful group of therapists who are passionate about helping others reach their goals. After transitioning from career to retirement, I was looking to continue working part time utilizing my skills while continuing to learn and be around people.I enjoy the atmosphere, mood, and kind patients. When I'm not at OSW Therapy, I enjoy family time, outdoor activities to include walking our two mini golden doodles, reading, and binge watching Netflix.
Does Netflix and chill actually mean watching Netflix and icing my knee? ;)
Catie
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I am a board certified doctor of physical therapy in both Illinois and Iowa. I have been a physical therapist for 4 years specializing in pediatric and neurological populations. I recently 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.
Jaclyn
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
I am Jaclyn, a board-certified occupational therapist, licensed in Iowa. I am a wife to Caleb and a mom to a fun-loving, kind and at times strong willed teenage daughter, Ava, and a free-spirited, funny and sweet 7-year-old daughter, Etta. In my free time, I enjoy watching my girls participate in all that they love, collegiate sports, the Iowa Hawkeyes, playing the piano, baking and spending time with family and friends! I love to work with and learn about the human body and enjoy figuring out how people move and function!! I specialize in myofascial release therapy, manual/massage therapy and pelvic health. I sought out OSW a few years ago after going through many years of difficulties with tailbone/coxyyx pain. I found that I wanted a holistic approach to my care and found that in Allison at OSW! With the passion surrounding my care, I knew I wanted to learn more about women's health and the lack of continuity of care within our community. As an OT at OSW, I feel I can help to provide some of the tools necessary to provide the body an avenue to release and recover and the mind to heal!
