Welcome to EmBodied Physical Therapy.
It’s time to thrive.
Through my over a decade of experience in helping women to connect with their pelvis and womb space, it’s my honor to share with you my musings, classes and how to work with me.
It’s my opinion that the more you know the more you can heal. Through a detailed understanding of “what’s even going on” and a reconnection with your energetics and creative center, it allows the person seeking pelvic floor therapy a true understanding of their bodies. Sovereignty and autonomy come from knowing how to care for ourselves both physically and energetically.
You can work with me through Virtual live classes, self paced courses of pre-recorded exercise routines + educational lectures or In-Person with live classes and 1:1 Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy and Energy Medicine Sessions.

Kind Words from Clients
Dr. Emily is flat out awesome! I first met her when I signed up for her prenatal yoga classes, which helped me greatly during labor and delivery. After birth, I saw her for pelvic floor physical therapy and she gave me easy to follow at home exercises for strengthening. Then, I saw her for her postpartum core flow yoga classes. Dr. Emily is a great resource for anyone who is expecting, as she has different offerings for every step of your journey! I recommended Dr. Emily to all of my friends who love her as well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for any of her many services!
Emily is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and has helped me through various experiences. I had never experienced reiki before going to Embodied Physical Therapy and Emily's kindness and patience made the experience very enjoyable and I has helped me through my journey. Knowing her and her practice has helped me in more way that I can think. So very grateful for Embodied Physical Therapy.
Emily is truly magnificent. Her energy is infectious and her healing ability is like magic. Whether you are looking for reiki and energy work, pelvic floor therapy or you need an Arvigo Abdominal Massage, Embodied Physical Therapy is where you should go.
What Emily has created here is so beautiful! The work she does, the amazing other teachers she has come in to share their light - shout out to Katie and Amanda - it is just amazing. A safe beautiful space, filled with the light, energy and love we need so much more of in this world. The Reiki classes and work with Emily are one of the most important parts of my journey so far. And now the yoga sutras work! I am forever grateful for finding Emily and her team at Embodied.
Dr. Emily is an excellent practitioner, health advocate, and healing partner. Women’s health and well-being are finally being honored and addressed by this talented woman. I will be eternally grateful for her steadfast help in ending my decades long suffering of chronic pain. I’m stronger, more creative, and more alive than ever before. Thank you, Dr. Emily, for sharing your gifts with me.
Honestly, the best experience and then some! Dr. Emily is an absolute master in her Craft. The level of skill from her trainings that she brings for anything that comes up during your care is unmatched. This was my 2nd stint with PFPT and this definitely assisted more. There's such a level of intuitive care that comes with her work, getting down to the nitty-gritty of the energetic ties that play into why your body isn't releasing and getting better. I can't thank her enough and I can't sing her good graces enough. It's opened up an entire part of myself that I felt I lost a long time ago. Even before pregnancy and labor. And I love all the tools that I've been able to retain to continue my care even after appts.
Emily made me feel so welcomed from the moment I stepped into her office! She is a genuine soul, so kind, so knowledgeable and I am beyond grateful for finding such an amazing practitioner. I felt renewed immediately after my visit, I will recommend her to anyone and everyone! Looking forward to my next session 😄
Dr. Emily has been working with my baby providing cranial sacral therapy, and I am so glad we reached out to her. She has an amazing touch and I feel completely comfortable handing my baby over to her. She has assisted with “colic,” gas, and muscle tension. We see huge improvements after every appointment and she has taught us so much! Her services are worth every penny and then some.
Dr. Emily is a world-class (or perhaps I should say other-worldly) energy worker, pelvic floor specialist and cranio sacral practitioner. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and supremely intuitive. I am so grateful for her care and support. She has helped me more than any other medical or energy expert and truly makes magic. She has created a beautiful space at EmBodied with wonderful offerings and engaged supportive community.
“Working with Dr. Emily Bessemer has been a life-changing experience. I suffered with pelvic pain for as long as I could remember. Visiting the gynecologist was a nightmare; exams were painful and many doctors had no sympathy for my squirming. Fortunately, fate led me to a caring new OB/GYN who referred me to pelvic floor physical therapy and diagnosed me with vaginismus. That's when I had the incredibly good fortune to become a patient with Dr. Bessemer.
Even after my first session, I felt heard, validated, and finally in control of my pelvic health. Dr. Bessemer has taken the time and patience to explain everything I needed to know about the pelvic floor, where I was in pain, and steps I could do within and without the treatment room. I always feel comfortable, welcomed, and unafraid to share my feelings and thoughts with Dr. Bessemer. She is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced clinicians I know. What makes her stand out is her true passion to help others on their path to well-being. She is so full of light and inspires me to treat myself kinder.”
“Dr. Emily Bessemer is my pelvic floor physical therapist. I have to start out by saying she is truly a life saver. Emily has helped put my mind at ease with her compassionate manor along with helping me feel physically better. I was diagnosed with vaginal cancer at the age of 22 and overtime the scar tissue became a problem from my partial vaginectomy surgery. I also developed tailbone pain and have hyper-mobility so my joints have a hard time staying in place and have had rheumatoid arthritis since a young teen. Emily has been patient and kind and also taught me so much about my body and the entire pelvic bowl. It’s very hard to find someone who you can fully trust in knowing that they really really want you to get better and live a normal life and you find that with Emily. Pelvic floor physical therapy is something that I feel so strongly about and honestly feel so so lucky that Emily is my therapist. She continues to educate herself and is so passionate about what she does and that alone makes me as her patient feel confident in knowing that she’ll try her best to help me.”
“Before meeting Emily, I had experienced various forms of pelvic discomfort, such as painful bladder symptoms and vulvodynia, for many years. After having felt for a long time that those issues were just always going to be a normal part of life for me, I was amazed at how much Emily was able to show me that it did not have to be that way. Through taking a holistic approach to physical therapy, she was able to show me multiple techniques, such as manual therapy and lifestyle changes, to help me feel better and overcome my symptoms. This has allowed me to have a new outlook and significantly improved life and I will always be grateful to Emily for helping me get there.”
“It meant everything to hear from Dr. Bessemer that the chronic pain I've experienced wasn't just ‘in my head.’ She made it clear to me that I will improve, I will get better, and I did not have to accept pain as part of my daily life. I spent years feeling ashamed of myself and my body; Dr. Bessemer told me I was going to be okay. And for that, I will be forever grateful.”
