Rose Dominguez-Osuna

Rose (she/her) is a licensed occupational therapist (OTR/L) who specializes in pelvic health and rehabilitation. She has extensive experience in traumatic brain injury and neurological disorders as well as extensive training through the Herman & Wallace Institute for pelvic health. While caring for patients in hospital settings, Rose felt disconnected to other dimensions of health that are often not taken into account through the medical industrial complex such as the mind-body connection. Because of this she was called to the pelvic health specialty as she views the pelvic floor as a vulnerable but powerful place of self.

With over seven years in the field of occupational therapy, she has acquired certifications in John Barnes myofascial release, visceral mobilization, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. During graduate school, Rose spearheaded community-based occupational therapy treatment for children with neurological and developmental disorders in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, and was awarded the Spirit of Occupational Therapy Award by the Occupational Therapy Association of California (OTAC).
