With over 15 years of diverse experience in occupational therapy, Suzy brings deep clinical insight and compassionate care to the Thrive Maternal Care team. Her journey into pelvic health was inspired by her years serving women through home-based care, neurological rehab, and spinal cord injury recovery—most recently at the VA, where she worked with veterans navigating brain injury, spinal cord injury, and home-based primary care.

Originally from Los Angeles and now rooted in the Bay Area, Suzy combines her clinical expertise with a whole-person approach to care. She’s passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where moms feel seen, heard, and empowered in their recovery—because pelvic health is not just about the body, but about feeling whole again.
