Southern Maine’s center for pelvic floor therapy, integrative yoga and acupuncture.

I can't begin to express my gratitude for Jenn. I was 5 months postpartum from having twins and I knew my core strength was weak and at the time didn't realize my pelvic floor was as well. Intercourse was painful, but I thought this must be what happens after carrying two large babies at once! I had a cesarean birth. I get tears in my eyes when I think about that moment in time, and Jenn gave me back so much more than strength in my core and pelvic floor. I was able to feel like myself again. I was diagnosed with a little over two finger width diastasis recti, and pelvic dysfunction. Jenn made me feel comfortable and listened, she recommended exercises, and yoga movements to help repair and gain core strength back. She is a true professional. Her practice is gradual and methodical, and compassionate. I noticed progress every week in every area. In less than a year, I was running a 10K, back to my exercise classes, I could strongly lift my babies out of their cribs and I felt like I could confidently be intimate with my husband again without feeling anxious of the pain. Jenn is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her!

“I am so thankful Jenn was part of my support team postpartum. The combination of pelvic floor PT and gentle yoga each week allowed me to heal safely and with confidence after a c-section. Jen treated me with compassion and humor, along with skilled manual therapy, biofeedback and strengthening in order to meet my goals. Her passion for what she does is inspiring as a patient and a friend. Thank you Jenn!”

“I received care here in the second and third trimesters while pregnant with my now 3 month old daughter and returned for care postpartum. I had the highest quality care by Dr. Mackenzie and recommend her and this practice to anyone who is pregnant and needing relief from pain, and from fear of labor. Dr. Mackenzie is extremely knowledgeable and had solutions for every concern I came in with. She is creative, kind, funny and compassionate. I left every appointment with a plan, and all my exercises helped me have a smooth labor (no tearing) and postpartum recovery. The team here is clearly special and I highly recommend their services to any pregnant or postpartum mom!”

“I have known Jenn for 3+ years and during the course of these years I have had physical therapy with her for two separate issues. I find her to be professional, personable and caring. The physical therapy for both issues was a huge success. I highly recommend Jenn for physical therapy!”

Jenn is a highly-skilled physical therapist who has an amazing knowledge of how to integrate traditional PT with yoga, mindfulness and healthy body mechanics. I came to her during pregnancy with my second baby, and continued with her postpartum. She not only helped to alleviate my terrible lower back pain but also shifted the way I moved throughout the day, helped my posture and gave me an exercise routine that built my strength. Jenn also strengthened my yoga practice to be more sustainable and provided me with inputs that helped me understand the best way to align my body in postures. She is amazing!

“I had the pleasure of working with Jenn to diagnose and treat my diastasis recti, and learned so much from her about the proper way to move my body and heal my diastasis at the same time. She took into account all aspects of my life - work, kids, exercise, etc and came up with suggestions and modifications for all movements I would be doing. Her experience as a yoga & barre instructor complements her skills as a PT, and she provided me with invaluable tips for modifying my own yoga and barre practice to support a healing diastasis. Jenn is always friendly and welcoming, immediately making you feel at home during appointments and in yoga class!”

“I had pelvic floor pt for tension and pain prior to Root to Rise but still felt like I was only at 90%. Dr. Daisy helped me get back to 100%. I’m very grateful to be back to my very active lifestyle and can’t recommend Root to Rise enough!”
