Michelle Neier, MD Dr. Neier recognizes that being a physician involves being a healer, not just treating a disease. Her path to integrative medicine has been a slow and steady one as she searched for ways to support her patients and their families with struggles through both acute and chronic medical illnesses.	Elizabeth Girouard, CHHC, CWMA Elizabeth Girouard is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Emotional Eating Expert for women who are tired of the emotional eating roller coaster and yo-yo dieting. She helps you transform your relationship with food so you can finally find food freedom. No more Hershey kisses and Doritos tempting your willpower. Find peace around food – once and for all!
Sara D'Agostino, PT Sara D'Agostino, co-owner of The R3finery, will be joining Dr. Melanie Howell in the discussion of pelvic floor dysfunction. Sara and Dr. Howell will cover topics such as dyspareunia (painful intercourse), incontinence, pelvic pain and endometriosis among others. These topics will be presented from both a medical perspective and from a physical therapy standpoint, so that women know what to look for and where and when to get help.	Melanie Howell, MD Dr. Howell completed a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation from NYU Langone Medical Center. Upon completion of her residency, she went on to pursue fellowship training in Cancer Rehabilitation Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where she focused on the treatment of pain, as well as the restoration of function during and after cancer treatment. Dr. Howell joined Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine in June 2019.	Dawn Rodriguez Dawn has always considered herself to be a bit different than your “normal”, but truly what is normal anyways right? Never really knowing why she spent her life asking the huge question, WHY? It was not until 2015 that it all finally clicked. She finally woke up to a whole new world, a spiritual door had been opened. She found a world where she felt at home, one that filled her with purpose, and love.
Maureen Schafer, LCSW Maureen is the Founder of Presence of Mind Therapy, Therapist, Social Worker, Mom of twins, and Advocate. Maureen’s clinical experience paired with personal spiritual seeking has resulted in the formation of a healing practice grounded in Acceptance, Compassion, and Connection. Maureen works with clients to cultivate the connection between mind and body, to develop their individual spirituality, and to challenge the larger systems that keep us stuck.	Alix Terpos, PT, DPT Alix, co-owner of The R3finery, will be discussing the details of fascia and its impact on the body. From functional movement to emotional health, fascia has an impact on all of it and how the body survives or thrives. Join Alix to find out how fascia ties it all together.
