Dr. Charisse Balance, PT, DPT, RYT, is a mama, yogini, and physical therapist specializing in holistic pelvic health and myofascial release.
In 2015, she obtained her yoga certification (RYT-200) and later completed specializations in Restorative, Yin, and Prenatal Yoga. She continues to teach anatomy, prenatal, and restorative yoga in various yoga teacher training programs in the Bay Area.
She has extensive training and personal experience with John Barnes Myofascial Release and has studied the art of postpartum Ayurvedic care. Wanting to facilitate ease for herself during pregnancy, labor, and birth, she became a certified Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner. Her personal experience with each of these modalities has influenced her holistic treatment approach.
Charisse is passionate about supporting individuals through the preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum stages of life. She utilizes an evidence-based treatment approach and incorporates intuitive and holistic practices when working with her clients. Her goal is to educate people about their bodies to maximize confidence in their physical abilities and minimize injury. Her intention is to promote a sense of empowerment through knowledge and to foster the support of the community through connection.
