Rashika, Pre-PT

I feel like I found a direction in PT where I feel like I can truly make a difference. I have been looking for some way to combine a profession with a passion because school has made me almost have regrets/second thoughts about PT and PT school.  I can confirm that PHPT has become a passion of mine because I would wake up early on the weekends instead of sleeping in to watch the videos and my eyes were literally always glued to the screen like I was watching a crime show. Especially as the baby of the cohort, I felt special knowing I had this unique opportunity to be surrounded by such high achievers! All in all, I loved it!

Yes, I know it may be money you don't think you have but this is an investment. See what you can do to make it happen because especially as a pre-pt, you don't get opportunities like this. As a tech, you might go through exercises and pick-up things from your own context clues but very rarely do you get to be taught at a grad school level. The way Julia explains these topics is so easy to grasp so even though this is high level content, it is easy to understand. So many things I have learned just blow my mind so if you feel like school isn't enriching and you're down for a challenge, I highly encourage investing in yourself.

Cristina, 3rd Year SPT

The PHKA has been such an incredible experience! Julia is an absolute wealth of knowledge, encouragement, and positive energy. The community that I was introduced to through the Academy has been life changing and career igniting! In PT school I had no idea there was such a large population of students and clinicians like me that were interested in pelvic floor, but didn't know where to start. The Kickstarter Academy has not only armed me with the foundational knowledge for pelvic floor PT, it has also plugged me into an incredible group of like-minded individuals that I am excited to live and grow with well beyond the conclusion of this fantastic course. I can not recommend Julia and the Kickstarter Academy enough!

If you are a pre-PT, SPT, or entry level clinician interested in diving into the world of pelvic health, this course is for you!! There are several great introductory pelvic floor courses out there, but The Academy is a step above the others for several reasons. On top of the foundational didactic knowledge, you also are plugged in to a community of like-minded individuals to travel your path with you, you received top notch individualized mentoring, you have opportunities to interact with superstars in the world of pelvic health through live interview sessions, you get to plan for the future with pelvic health specific interview preparation... the list goes on!! And perhaps most importantly, you get all of this (6 weeks!!!) of material for a fraction of the price that you would elsewhere. If you are considering joining The Academy, I can guarantee it will not be a decision you regret!

Michelle, 3rd Year SPT

This has been such an awesome experience - I can't stop telling people about it!

I know there are some students/clinicians out there who already know that pelvic health is their passion and are just looking to learn academic and clinical content to start practicing asap. I definitely wasn't in that boat; I didn't really know what pelvic health was and knew I wanted mentorship, guidance, and a community with resources.

Being part of the Pelvic Health Kickstarter Academy has empowered me with knowledge and confidence to take the next steps towards my dream career. Don't underestimate the power of mentorship and community! The Academy provides both of those things as well as academic content.

Bethany, 3rd Year SPT

This experience has encouraged me to set big goals and do everything within my power to be able to reach them. It provided so many opportunities through one on one power calls, easy-to follow content, learning from experts in the field, and building a community. It was so inspiring to be a part of the very first season filled with so many passionate individuals and such a supportive leader. Previously, I doubted my ability to pursue pelvic health since I did not learn much about it in PT school, and I didn't know where I would find mentorship or guidance. This course has unlocked resources and provided direction to move forward towards achieving my dreams.

If you have any interest in pursuing pelvic health, take the leap and start the academy. The wealth of knowledge you will gain will benefit you whether you decide to become a PHPT or not. The course will prepare you to incorporate pelvic health in your practice no matter the area you practice within.

Michaela, Pre-PT 

The Academy has given me the opportunity to fall in love with physical therapy in another way. I love taking any chance I get to see how optimal health can be achieved in a patient & pelvic health has been everything I did not know I needed.

All the knowledge & insight from Julia & her guest speakers has made my experience in the academy very fulfilling & has left me with lasting impressions.

Do it! I was definitely on the fence because I am a college kid so the funds are low BUT it was well worth the money. Even past the money, at times I forgot I was in a course because Julia is so personable & makes you feel like way more than a typical student. The power calls, guest speakers, & copious amount of resources show just how much we matter to her. Sign up now!

Tori, New Grad PT

Kickstarter Academy has inspired me to dream big and take action toward my career goals. Through this course I have been exposed to a whole new community of pelvic health practitioners and made me realize how much I want to be one of them! I feel empowered! There is great information here on pelvic basics and career planning all led by an amazing mentor!   

I loved all this access to incredible women and their stories but I particularly loved the video on intro to the pelvic health eval because I could take pieces and translate it directly to my everyday practice in the ortho clinic I am currently in. “Make change today” makes me stop and think about what direct change I can make at eval and each visit after to allow the pt to walk away feeling like PT is helping even when they struggle to see their own progress. It helps them buy right into it all and keeps them motivated to come back and put in the effort. It keeps me from being stuck in a rut and going through the motions of basic exercises and blah blah blah. She also opened my eyes to a new way to structure and think through each impairment found on exam and pair it directly with treatment whether hands on, HEP or educational! I feel like I can better personalize an eval to my patient now rather than just trying to get through everything just from this new perspective.

I’ll add too that I now feel like my dreams of my own clinic/concierge practice are much more attainable because I have been exposed to a community of people I feel like I can reach out to for help who will empower me to keep going and guide me when I need it! 

Logan, PT Biz Owner

I feel confident being able to screen for pelvic health dysfunction, and being able to provide a baseline education to my patients about pelvic health. I love the little book of resources so we can continue to learn! I have a bigger belief in my ability to pursue this field and make a difference educating people about these topics!

Pamela, Retired PT of 35 Years

I am a retired physical therapist. I know I helped a lot of patients but it seemed there was something missing, like a block, that I couldn’t get them past for a 100% recovery. After my exposure to the Kickstarter Academy, I now realize what the missing link was. With all this new knowledge in my toolbox, I wish I could go back and start over. I know I could be an even more effective physical therapist! Truly enjoyed all the information...such a treasure chest of knowledge!

Morgan, 1st Year SPT

I have gained more knowledge to become a more well rounded clinician in 2 years. This academy has given me more experience and knowledge in pelvic health than PT school has thus far.

You will not regret it. Take the jump and follow your passion!

Megan, 3rd Year SPT

The Academy has helped me start to think critically about my career goals as I start the last year of PT school! It has helped me to make a plan to strive for the career I want. I think it will be especially helpful next year as I start to look for a first job.

The Academy was a great experience! If you're looking for 1:1 mentoring and encouragement to set and reach your goals, this is the program for you.

Amy, Pelvic Health PT

[The Academy] has helped me feel more confident in my evaluations and treatments and added more ther-ex tools to my tool box! If you are unsure if pelvic health is for you, this is a great introduction to figure out whether or not you want to adventure down this path!
