Dustienne truly gave me my quality of life back as I recover from Endo excision surgery. She’s non-judgemental, friendly, impressively knowledgeable and I’ve made remarkable progress with her, starting from a situation I wasn’t sure I could ever improve. Every issue I come to her with, she has a suggestion on how we can fix it, and helps make me feel like I am in control of my recovery! I cannot recommend her enough. ~Molly G; Very grateful for the exceptional knowledge, care, and comfort at Flourish PT. Alex was a treasure trove of knowledge. It is so clear that they are passionate about learning and about serving marginalized groups in their field. For the first time in years, I felt not only heard, but supported in my healing. I hope more people find Flourish. I couldn't recommend them enough. ~CB;
