No. California is a Direct Access state, which means you can come directly to me for Physical Therapy without a physician referral. After 12 visits or 45 days of treatment, a referral will be needed to continue care. If you're seeking insurance reimbursement, some plans do require a referral — feel free to contact me and we can figure that out together.

Your first session is about listening, both to your story and to your body. I'll take time to understand your history, your symptoms, and what you've already tried. From there, I use gentle, hands-on assessment to identify the root cause of your pain or dysfunction. Treatment begins that same session. Most clients feel a noticeable shift before they leave.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to receive reimbursement through their health insurance plan or Health Savings Account (HSA). Please note that I am not a Medicare provider, and Medicare currently prohibits participants from being seen by non-Medicare providers , even with self-payment.

It starts with a conversation. Reach out by phone or email and we'll talk through what's going on and whether my approach is the right fit for you. If it is, I'll have you complete a short intake form before your first appointment so I can come prepared to listen, assess, and start working on the root of the issue and not just the surface.
