Growing up I always knew I wanted to go into the healthcare field. I just didn’t know in what way…
In high school I suffered from repeated injuries as a dancer, and spent a lot of time in a physical therapy clinic. It was unlike any other healthcare setting I had experienced and I loved it - the one on one time, the frequency of visits, the ability to see someone all the way to reach their goals.
2011
I graduated from Simmons College with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2011. The first thing I did after graduation was sign up for a 200 hour yoga teacher training - I’ve always been a lifelong learner. I started working as a physical therapist while completing my training. Over the following decade I worked in several private practice and hospital settings, with orthopedic and medically complex patients - and taught yoga at gyms and local studios.
2020
In 2020 I started Kathryn Moulison Physical Therapy. After years as a therapist I knew that what I wanted was the ability to practice without time constraints or insurance limitations, so that I could provide the holistic treatment that my clients deserved.
2021
In 2021 I was pregnant, and thinking about what it meant for my business. I decided to expand my yoga training, and started teaching prenatal yoga. I fell instantly in love. I had the ability to connect with and support those going through such a tremendous life change. It was both an honor, and a joy.
Soon after my son was born in December of 2021, the first role I returned to was teaching prenatal yoga. Then it expanded to Baby and Me yoga classes, where I was supporting new parents as they returned to movement.
During that time, I started taking pregnancy, postpartum, and pelvic health courses.
2023
With each yoga class I taught to pregnant and postpartum individuals, and each course I took, it became clear what my next career move would be.
Root to Bloom: Perinatal Pelvic Health Therapy and Yoga was born.
I am here for you. It is my passion and goal to help you through the wild journey that is the pre and postnatal period.
Whether you are looking for support preparing for labor and delivery, struggling with pain in pregnancy, troubleshooting how to hold your baby without pain, recovering from a c-section, or wondering “is this normal?” when it comes to bowel/bladder/sexual function I am here for you.
Over the years clients had told me things like “you have such a calming presence” “you help me feel heard” and “why am I even talking to you about (insert “taboo” topic here), I never talk about it” I pride myself on creating a non judgmental, calming environment for you to get support
I live in North Reading Massachusetts with my husband, Mike, my two rescue dogs Maggie and Sunny, and my son who was born in December 2021. When I’m not chasing a toddler or working, I enjoy cooking and making sourdough bread, and volunteering with Bark n’ Rolls Rock*n Rescue.
