Biography

Oriana started her career as a yoga and meditation instructor, but felt she wanted to learn more about the body and that she could better help people if she went into the physical therapy profession. She chose the PTA route at San Diego Mesa College's Allied Health program due to her desire to get into the profession and start helping people sooner. Since then, Oriana has specialized in treating the perinatal and pelvic health population and has taken extensive courses to do so. Oriana loves preparing women for their birthing experience as well as helping women who have pelvic floor dysfunction improve their mind and body connection. When treating, Oriana has a gentle approach that emphasizes breath, mindfulness, and awareness of functional postural alignment. As a mom herself, she comes up with ways to include PT motions in your day rather than making it feel like another chore in your routine.
