Empowered Wellness is an incredible resource for women’s health. As a female chiropractor, I’m grateful to have a local team that further supports my patients through every stage of life. I’ve personally been cared for by Dr. Sarah Catherine and Nancy, and their knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Dr. Stephanie’s passion for women’s health is inspiring, and it’s refreshing to collaborate with providers who truly respect the body’s natural design to thrive.

Dr. Sarah Catherine is wonderful. She is incredibly easy to talk to and genuinely attentive during every visit. She takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and makes you feel comfortable and understood. Working with her never feels rushed, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients. I highly recommend her.

Ladies PLEASE use this team of women for your benefit! Pelvic floor therapy is very underrated and yes it does help!! I was barely 20 weeks pregnant and in excruciating pain in my pelvis, hips, and lower back.. I couldn't do anything (sit, stand, walk, laydown, nothing) and it was due to Pubic Symphysis Disfunction. Dr. Sarah Catherine worked on me IMMEDIATELY and within 3 days I could sit without major pain. I trusted in her completely and she did nothing but support me and educate me on my body. She did dry needling, cupping, sound wave therapy, traditional stretching and strengthening exercises, and took away any stigma or discomfort. Weather you are pregnant or not, you do not have to live in the pain, discomfort, or just deal with it! Pain during sex, let them check on your pelvic floor, can't hold your pee in, let them check on your pelvic floor. Even for those ladies who have really supportive partners, let them come with you so they can also learn. My husband learned just as much as I did and now we both understand my body more and why things happen. I cannot recommend this wonderful group of women enough, I can finally enjoy my pregnancy and prepare for the unmedicated, nature birth that I want.

Empowered Wellness is filling a void in this state that many women need. Dr Jenn listened to me from the moment I sat down and told her that I wanted her to hear my entire story so we could try to treat my body from head to toe, knowing all the information. I never felt judged or rushed. I've never had physical therapy help me the way it sid there. Everyone there is kind, patient, and very helpful. If you're a woman who feels like you haven't been heard or respected at a doctor's office or you always feel rushed through, this is definitely the place to go!

Empowered Wellness is an incredible resource for women in our community. The space is calm, welcoming, and designed to help you feel supported... not rushed. While I haven’t personally used the pelvic floor PT services yet, I have worked with one of the therapists here for counseling and had a wonderful experience. I also have clients who see Dr. Perez and rave about her knowledge, compassion, and the results they’ve experienced. They truly feel cared for and supported in their healing. From pelvic floor therapy to counseling, massage, holistic nutrition, and more, Empowered Wellness offers high-quality care for women in every season especially during pregnancy and the postpartum journey. If you value a peaceful environment, skilled providers, and genuine care, I highly recommend Empowered Wellness. A true hidden gem.

Dr Sarah Catherine is so amazing! I appreciate all of the knowledge she shares and she is so intune and consenting during internal checks. I have left both of my appointments with better understanding of my body and healing. Shes given me so many tools to tackle things that I brought up in our appointment. I'd recommend her (and HAVE already recommended her!) to anyone pregnant or postpartum!

Dr. Sarah Catherine has helped me tremendously during my pregnancy. The dry needling and cupping she has done for me has relieved the hip/lower back pain I was experiencing. She is a great teacher and has educated me about helpful prenatal stretches, body mechanics, healthy bowel/bladder patterns, preventing tears, and more. I highly recommend Dr. Sarah Catherine as a pelvic floor PT! The environment of Empowered Wellness is very calm and inviting. My daughters enjoy the kid toys/books in the lobby. Summer at the front desk is very helpful and friendly. I am grateful for Empowered Wellness!

I was dealing with what felt to me like an urgent pelvic floor issue when I called Empowered Wellness. I was at the lowest of my lows regarding symptoms, and I called the front desk in tears, telling them I had never been seen there but was in desperate need to see a PT. Summer (the admin assistant) calmed me down and showed me so much kindness. She was able to find me an appointment that very same day due to a cancellation. Despite my doubts, I started seeing drastic relief from my symptoms after just a few sessions of working with Dr. Sarah Catherine. Dr. Sarah Catherine is truly a miracle worker. She was able to explain to me exactly what was going on with my body and develop a treatment plan that got me relief quickly without feeling physically or emotionally uncomfortable. Having recently moved from a major metro city, I was so shocked to find this level of experienced, effective care in humble Alabama. I would recommend Empowered Wellness to any woman experiencing any kind of pelvic dysfunction symptoms. I truly thought my life was ruined, and here I am, living a normal and symptom-free life without any major medical or surgical interventions. Even if you don’t “believe in” physical therapy, just go see them. There is help to be found with them. You won’t regret it or ever look back.

Dr. Sarah Catherine at Empowered Wellness has been such a meaningful part of my healing. Her holistic approach is what truly sets her apart — she looks at the whole body and how everything connects to the pelvic floor, not just isolated symptoms. From the very beginning, she made me feel safe, heard, and supported. She is kind, deeply knowledgeable, and explains things in a way that feels empowering and easy to understand. I never feel rushed, and I never feel alone in the issues I’ve been having — something I didn’t even realize I needed until I experienced it. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their healing. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

As a birth and postpartum doula and as a perimenopausal woman I know firsthand how important it is to take care of the pelvic floor and how much it can weaken after pregnancy, birth, and in general. Empowered Wellness is one of my favorite referral resources and is such a wonderful resource for women’s health in our community, going for beyond the pelvic floor physical therapy that brings most of us to their doors. From the moment you walk in, you can access their well curated lending library, friendly and helpful reception staff, and a cozy cup of tea. The PTs Dr. Stephanie, Dr. Jenn, and Dr. Sara Catherine are so knowledgeable and sensitive in helping understand the neglected but important aspects of our bodies and how to support them. When I went for my own appointment, Dr. Jenn made me feel very safe and comfortable, taking plenty of time to explain what I needed to know and making sure I had all my questions answered. The wraparound service also includes mental health and even prenatal yoga. A great resource for pregnancy, postpartum, and actually all women in our community!
