I have practiced nursing since 1994 and have been in the healthcare industry for more than 29 years. Much of my career was enjoyed at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It was at MGH that I discovered my interest in urology and the science and art in treating it. With the knowledge I gained from that experience, and further research about incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction, I developed educational modalities for one of the first Bladder Programs in Massachusetts. I have recently opened three new Bladder Clinics in the North Shore. 

My private practice focus is on Pelvic Floor/Muscle Dysfunction (incontinence and pain). I also focus heavily on preventative measures that will help people avoid ever experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction of any kind. I work with women on pelvic floor and core strength training where my office is now located at 414 Boston Street, Topsfield, MA 01983. 

I received my degree in nursing from the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon. Throughout the course of my career in nursing I have been recognized as a leader in the healthcare industry. MGH awarded me scholarships and recognitions for leadership and nursing expertise. My postgraduate studies continue at Regis University where I am studying for Masters Degree in Nursing.

I launched my practice to make a difference in the lives of the millions of Americans who are suffering with incontinence and other pelvic floor disfunctions.With regard to incontinence specifically, I believe that our society perceives incontinence as a hygiene problem or a dirty condition. This unfortunate stigmatism often causes individuals living with incontinence great pain, loneliness and shame. I am on a mission to change this so people no longer have to live in silence with incontinence for fear of ridicule and embarrassment.


My Mission
My mission is to provide excellent health care to individuals suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction; to help them build core strength that will enhance their daily living and happiness. In doing this, I especially hope to help those who suffer from incontinence while contributing to removing the stigmatism associated with incontinence in America. I believe this will ultimately increase society’s understanding about all pelvic floor conditions and thereby enhance encouragement and support for people living with it.

My Approach
My practice encompasses holistic health and wellness. I realize that every person's situation is different. Treatment plans are personalized and consider the mind, body, soul and unique needs of each patient. I work closely with my patients to find innovative solutions that will help them live life with incontinence in confidence and potentially decrease or eliminate it from their life.

 

Testimonials
  • "Robin, thank you for everything you have done for me. I consider you a true blessing that has come into my life."    Karen J., Danvers, MA


  • "Thank you for understanding my situation. There aren’t many people I can talk to about my problem of bladder control since I gave birth to my little girl. It’s embarrassing and degrading. You helped me understand more about the condition and how I can help myself. Your coaching me with Kegel exercises has resulted in amazing results. I appreciate the private support you offered while I learned how to help myself and avoid surgery. In only a few weeks I feel that your techniques are making a difference both with my stress incontinence and sex life! Thank you again." Donna T., Beverly, MA


  • "Dear Robin: I am so grateful to have found you! After leaving my doctors office I had no idea where to turn. There should be more support out there like you provide. Thank you for educating me and helping me gain back my life. Biofeedback rocks! All the best to you dear." Elaine P., Hamilton, MA

  • "You have been so helpful through you website I decided to join your meetup group. It has been very hard dealing with incontinence at my age. I have gone into many medical supply stores trying to get help. Most of them look at me like I am crazy, being 30 and asking questions about absorbent products. The couple of places where they were understanding and helpful, did not have what I needed. I just wanted to say thank you for your help." Dustin J., Denver, CO
