What People Are Saying

“I have been in excruciating pain for 2.5 years and have seen many specialists. No one was able to diagnose or provide me with relief except for Kayla. I could not recommend her more highly. She truly saved my body. She is knowledgeable, loving, and wants the best for all her patients. There is no one I trust more to care for me!”

Josephine

“I'm so thankful that I found Kayla. I waited for years to find a pelvic floor therapist. My major goal for seeking out a pelvic floor therapist was to gain confidence in obtaining necessary medical care and addressing difficulties with intercourse. From day 1, Kayla took the time to listen to my concerns and validate my anxieties. Her approach is thoughtful, intentional, and collaborative. She focuses on addressing the whole person. I feel seen and heard as a person, not just a client.”

Jaime S.

“I started seeing Kayla for pelvic floor therapy while I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. I had some serious SPD and lower back pain. She was able to help relieve the pain through the rest of pregnancy and help me prepare for my first birth. I could not have gotten through those last few weeks if it wasn’t for her help! I am now 2 months postpartum and she has helped me (start to) get my core strength back. I absolutely recommend her services!!”

Annie B.

“Thank God for Kayla! After nearly four years of chronic pain, I am pain free! I feel like I have my life back. Kayla is a beautiful person inside and out with a heart for helping people. Her office is lovely and the whole vibe makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I cannot recommend her enough!”

Hannah S.

“Kayla is seriously amazing I have been struggling for over three years with lower back and pelvic pain and she has been one of the only people to sit listen and help me figure out what was going on. She understands both sides of things as a mom and PT. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get their life back.”

Savannah P.

“I wish I could give 10 stars! I was told I was going to have to have surgery and I was having accidents and unable to work out, or do anything that involved much movement. Kayla was able to help on the first visit. I have had 4 visits total and I am already back in the gym. I am learning so much about my body and the way things work for us gals. I often thank the Lord for Kayla. The office is very aesthetic, you start to feel calm the moment you walk in. Highly recommend.”

Ellen

“I absolutely love my experience here! Joanne is amazing, she really takes the time to listen and understand my needs, which helps me feel 100% comfortable. All of the staff have been very kind and welcoming from the moment I walk in. I truly feel like I’m making progress and can see a real difference in myself. I always leave feeling better than when I came in. So glad to have found you all! Highly recommend!”

Kayla H.

“Where do I even begin with this amazing business. Joanne has been a life saver in so many aspects. I came to Core after having a baby and all of my issues has become night and day difference. I had to bring my baby with me to my appointments and there were several times where she was less than cooperative and Joanne never made me feel bad about bringing a fussy baby, she would make it a point to either hold her or entertain her while I was doing my exercises. There was even one day where I had to bring all 3 kids and there were PLENTY of toys to keep them entertained. All of the office staff (Becca & Maria) are always so welcoming and kind and greet me by name every appointment. Core has truly been LIFE CHANGING and I cannot recommend them enough.”

Asia A.

“Dr. Aponte is wonderful with great training. She was able to identify and treat my pelvic girdle pain from pregnancy. She took the time to explain the causes, ways to modify my movement, and stretches/exercises I could do at home. She also was very helpful with birth prep and postpartum exercises. Would highly recommend!”

Caitlin

“Kayla is AMAZING at what she does, and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She has been the most incredible support since I started seeing her and is incredibly knowledgeable. I honestly couldn’t imagine not having her as part of my pregnancy!”

Sandy

“Dr. Kayla is AMAZING!! As a postpartum mama, I was struggling with my fair share of body changes. From the very first appointment, Dr. Kayla made me feel heard and made sure we agreed on a treatment plan to make me feel ‘normal’ again. She does a great job at explaining everything and I always leave the appointments confident in the information and exercises given. I love that she takes a full body approach for me from body mechanics all the way to nutrition. In just a few weeks, I have already seen massive changes in the right direction. Bekah at the front desk is also accommodating and super sweet. I am so glad I found Core!”

Sarah

“Kayla is a wonderful resource for women throughout their pregnancy and post-partum journey. She listens carefully, is very empathetic, and works hard to ensure you meet your goals. I am grateful to Kayla for preparing me for a strong and healthy pregnancy and delivery, and for helping me regain strength in post-partum. I highly recommend her to all women at any stage of pregnancy and motherhood.”

Maggie

“Dr. Kayla has been instrumental in my postpartum recovery and maintaining my strength and fitness during pregnancy! Her space is so cozy and inviting as well, making you feel comfortable and look forward to appts. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

Payton

“Working with Kayla has been a transformative experience! I was experiencing UTI like symptoms but tests kept coming back negative, I've also had lower back pain from a running injury for a few years. Through working with her I've had relief from my pain and I've learned how to reconnect with my body. I'm able to start running again and I'm so much more comfortable day to day. Pelvic care is so important for all women, even if you think you're too young or haven't had kids. I'm so thankful that I found this support!”

Margaret

“I come in for rehab after surgery and we uncovered so much more. Kayla is amazing! I feel so much better each visit and I never would have believed that so much trauma could be held in our pelvic floor and core. 10 out of 10 recommend!”

Tabatha

“The environment was welcoming and professional, and I always felt supported and understood. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve seen significant improvement in my condition and overall well-being. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone in need of pelvic PT.”

Bianca

“For months I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me, & was referred to a pelvic floor therapist to see if that would help. And wow, it did! Kayla answered all my questions and never dismissed any of my concerns. She made me feel comfortable, & she is so easy to talk to about subjects where you would usually feel embarrassed. I continue to use what I learned from her at pelvic floor PT every day. Thanks Kayla for being amazing, & helping me get to feeling like myself again!”

Shelby

“Kayla is amazing! She truly cares about her patients, and dedicates herself to understand your unique situation in order to help you improve your life. And, it is not just about kegels like so many believe, for example, she has incorporated movement at the gym as a part of my treatment because that is part of my life. I am amazed by my progress in just a couple of months, after years of going to different pelvic floor therapists and not seeing any improvement of any of my symptoms.”

Samia

“Dr. Kayla and her team are so knowledgeable and compassionate. They truly care about both your physical and your emotional wellbeing. She has gone out of her way to support me through my grief while also helping me to physically recover. I cannot recommend her office highly enough. You will truly be in good hands here.”
