Highly recommended this practice!! Rachel made me feel comfortable and cared for. She was also extremely informative and easy to talk to. I visited her once before giving birth to establish a baseline and then twice after birth to access how my body was healing! Rachel gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to return to activity postpartum! Less

Highly recommend EPT. Pelvic floor therapy is very important for all women. I send all my clients to Empowered, I know they will be very well taken care of. You will be well taken care of in all therapist care here. Less

Dr. Rachael and her team do great work in their field. I appreciate the care provided and the dedication to make sure of my comfort. I recommend this team to help where needed. Less

I visited Empowered Physical Therapy after experiencing tailbone pain for far too long. Dr. Rachel Doza was very easy to work with and made me feel comfortable through the entire process. As a patient, you have her full attention and time for the duration of your appointment. Best yet, she pinpointed the root of my pain and helped set me on a path to healing. I'm feeling so much better! If you want a personal PT experience this is the way to go! Less

Rachel is an awesome PT! I first saw Rachel to help with nerve pain. My plan of care was more holistic than I expected and exceeded every expectation I’ve developed in working with other PTs in the past. Rachel’s bedside manner is unmatched, she is passionate and truly cares about everyone she gets to help. When I worked with Rachel she did an awesome job explaining her techniques and their benefits, she encouraged feedback to show her commitment to growing her skills, and encouraged me to stay on my program for good. I strongly recommend Rachel and her team! Less

I recently saw Dr. Rachel for my postpartum needs. She quickly made me feel very comfortable. She helped me with my pelvic floor needs and helped me return to exercise postpartum. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone! Less

I first started going to Dr. Rachel, when I was pregnant and in my 3rd trimester. I had pelvic pain and other misc. pain popping up left and right. I was relieved to have someone who would listen, understand, and thoroughly examine/treat me. With her guidance, I was able to move more freely and prepare better for birth. After I gave birth, Dr. Rachel helped me recover and get back on my feet. I can't recommend her enough! Less

My experience with Empowered Physical Therapy was absolutely wonderful. I originally sought out therapy for some pregnancy related pelvic pain including SI joint pain. My SI joint pain disappeared with a couple of therapy sessions. In later sessions Dr. Rachel gave me a safe, effective program to return to running postpartum. Dr. Rachel really takes a personal interest in your well being and caters the education and exercises to exactly what will maximize your health and quality of life. Less

I went to see Rachel while I was pregnant to learn techniques to prevent any pelvic floor issues during postpartum. She was very easy to talk to, informative and truly felt like you were talking to one of your girlfriends. She makes you feel comfortable and listens to your needs. I ended up having a planned C-Section and she also helped me with scar care. I would highly recommend her for anyone in need of PT now or for preventative care in the future. Less

I highly recommend Empowered Physical Therapy! Rachel is SO informative, thorough, and kind. She listens and truly cares about each patient. I am so glad that I saw her during and after my pregnancy. I have learned so much and my health has improved since seeing Rachel. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment! Less

Dr. Rachel's reputation precedes her, with glowing recommendations from numerous mom's groups solidifying her status as the go-to pelvic floor therapist. It was this widespread acclaim that convinced me she was the expert I needed to see. Despite the initial uncertainty of paying out of pocket and the distance to her office, every session with her has proven invaluable.What distinguishes Dr. Rachel is her unwavering commitment to her patients' well-being. Despite me being new to pelvic floor therapy, her approach inspired confidence and trust from the outset. Her hour-long sessions and personalized attention ensure that each patient receives the care they deserve, setting her apart from the rest. The decision to pay cash for her services was undoubtedly worth it, as Dr. Rachel's expertise and effective methods have led to significant improvements in my pelvic floor health. Under her guidance, I've made remarkable progress in addressing core engagement issues and alleviating persistent abdominal pain. Dr. Rachel's stellar reputation, personalized approach, and transformative results make her the ultimate choice for pelvic floor therapy. Despite any initial hesitations, the benefits of working with Dr. Rachel are undeniable, making every session with her a step towards a happier, healthier life. Less

I started this journey a while ago and finally came across Empowered Physical therapy. They are very knowledgeable and really know how to integrate everything into programs, especially for complicated patients that need modifications on-top of modifications because of old injuries. They are personable and relatable and I felt cared for, and that my healing process mattered to their team. Less

I recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Rachel. From the moment I stepped into her clinic, I felt welcomed and understood. Dr. Rachel’s expertise in pelvic health is unparalleled. She took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly assessed my condition, and tailored a personalized treatment plan. Her approach is both evidence-based and compassionate. She explained each step of my therapy, ensuring I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. What truly sets her apart is her ability to create a safe space. Discussing intimate health matters can be daunting, but her warm demeanor and nonjudgmental attitude put me at ease. She addressed my concerns with sensitivity and professionalism, making me feel heard and respected. During our sessions, Dr. Rachel demonstrated a deep understanding of women’s health issues, including prenatal and postnatal care. Her guidance was invaluable. She provided practical exercises and lifestyle adjustments that have significantly improved my quality of life. I appreciate her commitment to ongoing education. She stays up-to-date with the latest research and incorporates innovative techniques into her practice. Her passion for helping women achieve optimal health shines through in every interaction. If you’re seeking a physical therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being, look no further. Her expertise, empathy, and dedication make her a true gem in the field of women’s health. Less

First of all, thank you Dr. Rachel! You are a true gem! I saw Dr. Rachel after my 6 week pp appointment due to pain and weakness in my pelvic floor muscles. I am a PTA with zero experience in pelvic floor issues and I knew I needed a professional to treat my symptoms. Rachel is so knowledgeable and she explains everything with such detail! I was pain free with urination after the first visit! I only wish I had started seeing her while I was pregnant, things would have been much easier. Highly recommended! Seriously, if you have pelvic floor issues go see her because you will get excellent care! She’s the best! Less

Dr Rachel is amazing and I would recommend her to any family/friends without hesitation. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable right away. My c section scar was very sensitive but numb at the same time, and I started seeing Dr. Rachel one year post partum to address that. After a few sessions of dry needling and cupping, my scar looks so much better and is much less sensitive. I love that she does initial phone consults so there’s very little to lose and you can see if you click with her!! Less

Dr. Rachel changed my life. As many before me have, I postponed seeing a pelvic floor PT for far too long. Despite having non postpartum related pelvic issues, becoming pregnant and understanding the importance of working with such a medical professional postpartum to aid in recovery was the push I needed to actually set up an appointment. Dr. Rachel was referred to me and when I met her she immediately made me feel comfortable and exuded passion for her work in helping people not only overcome whatever issues they experience but also to insure they understand that such abnormalities are just that: abnormal. At Empowered Physical Therapy you will be given superior care in addition to the exercises and other tools you need in order to continue to aid your health and recovery outside the clinical setting. I went from having pain with intercourse at least 50% of the time prior to seeing Dr. Rachel to not at all even after having an episiotomy and near 4th degree tearing during the birth of my baby. I haven't experienced the typical issues women have if they've ever given birth like incontinence and such. I attribute such success to the care they provided. If internal exams freak you out, let me just add a little TMI in saying that Dr. Rachel actually got a laugh out of me during one...if that isn't a super power, I don't know what is. Thank you Dr. Rachel for empowering me. I and the rest of Snohomish County should be so grateful to have you around. Less

Rachel was able to identify my SI issues and address them with stretching and specific strengthening exercises completely different than the run of the mill PT I've tried in the past. My condition is much improved and manageable now, and I have the knowledge and tools to keep improving. Knowledge is power and Rachel took the mystery out of the picture for me!! Less

Dr. Rachel is amazing. She is personable, extremely knowledgeable and overall a great resource for every woman. I did both prenatal and postpartum work with her and am so glad I did. She made me feel very comfortable throughout my journey with her. If you're on the fence, don't be and schedule that first visit! Less

Rachel is awesome!! After having my second baby, it was clear I needed some help with my pelvic floor. She was really great at not only explaining what needs to be done, but why it needs to be done. She helped me better understand things with the help of visuals, showing me what my body is doing vs what it actually needs to be doing. We then talked about a plan that works with my daily lifestyle and makes me feel more confident I will be able to reach my goals. Less

Dr. Rachel and her team are amazing! I had right hip pain I had been struggling with for 5 years. The pain had gotten so bad after my third pregnancy that I could not sit in the car without being in pain and to get out of the car was a struggle. I was in near constant pain. I had been to physical therapists in the past with little relief. I have been working with Dr. Rachel for about 5 months and with her help and guidance I am no longer in pain! She got right down to the root cause of what was going on and has worked with me to help me understand what was going on and helped me heal and strengthen my body. I will forever be grateful Dr. Rachel and her dedication to truly listening and healing her patients. As Dr. Rachel said the first time I spoke with her. “No one deserves to live in pain.” Less

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis November of last year and Dr. Rachel has provided me with tremendous chronic pain relief. Thanks to her multifaceted and lifestyle focused approach, I can now manage my pain and actually live my life again! Before seeing her I was experiencing frequent fainting spells, extreme fatigue, and tremendous chronic pain on a daily basis. I was confident my quality of life would never recover because of this terrible disease. Dr. Rachel created a health plan that was specific to me and my needs that extended far beyond just arriving to physical therapy every so often. She was incredibly knowledgeable about my condition and provided me with so many resources, referrals, and advice that ensured I had all the tools and help I needed to live healthy and heal my chronic pain. I couldn't recommend or thank her enough, she's given me my quality of life back at a time when I thought it would be impossible to live normally again. Thank you Dr. Rachel, you truly are a pelvic floor goddess! Less

WOW! First I totally thought physical therapy was just another thing to pay for. During pregnancy I would see things about your pelvic floor and think meh if I watch enough of these I can help myself... Wrong!!! Best budgeting decision I ever made was to invest in Rachel's help and helping myself. She has one of those personalities that you feel like you're talking to a friend. She's cheerful, honest, kind hearted but also not a push over and explains things well. If you're looking for a fast get on the bike and your twenty minutes is up this isn't the place for you! Now if you're looking to feel heard, learn some interesting things about your body, feel comfortable and start putting in the work this is it! I thought after having a baby ok maybe if I book an appointment it'll help these weird pains I get. I am pretty sure she's helping me correct things that I've had since a teenager! It's been incredible to learn what causes things, how to help things, sometimes how much a simple stretch makes you sweat. Honestly if you're on the fence about going to see her for whatever reason book an appointment! I mean unless you are hoping she's going to give you a magic pill to solve it all. In that case stay home because somebody else who needs her help should take the spot. If your worried about commitment/scheduling or money make the appointment! She's in it to help you, like actually help you. She'll help come up with a game plan. If it's money skip your daily coffees for the month! Ladies coffee at home versus peeing your pants, uncomfortable during intercourse, reoccurring UTIs which may not actually be what's happening... I know the coffee is tempting but so is not needing to skip doing things with your kids. Packing extra underwear/ wearing pads. Taking rounds of antibiotics which cause yeast infections. SKIP THAT COFFEE and schedule! Less

It was quite impressive. I appreciated the wonderful flow of info, showing the interconnectedness of it all and I LOVED that you started with breath! Your narrative was so skilful, that questions raised in one section, smoothly led to your next, valuable, chapter. Our interaction was informative and transformative. Above all, this workshop is encouraging and equipping, for a more powerful, transformed life! Less

Rachel is amazing and her pt has helped me so much. I am no longer having to change my pants when I sneeze. I am so happy I decided to work with her. I have my life back. Less

I was skeptical since I had tried various unsuccessful treatments to resolve my symptoms. Dr. Rachel quickly addressed my chronic issues with her integrative, resourceful and kind approach. She is that doctor that not only has mad skills but takes the time to work with her patients to source the core issues while working towards solutions. My symptoms for the first time are almost non existent with a huge improvement in my health and happiness. I highly recommend Dr. Rachel. Less

Rachel at Empowered physical therapy helped me solve all my issues. She is amazing! I am very grateful for her energetic and compassionate combo to keep me motivated and moving toward my goals. Less

Love Rachel! She is so patient and understanding. She never made me feel uncomfortable. Her energy is awesome. After working with her for a few months my symptoms have resolved and I have tools to prevent further issues and manage flare ups. Less

I've had right hip pain since the beginning of 2020 that never fully went away after having my son in 2021. After 1 visit with Dr. Rachel my hip pain is gone, I'm able to all my favorite exercises without pain during or after. She is so personable and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable. I can't wait to continue to work with her throughout my pregnancy for better overall outcomes. 10/10 would recommend. Less

I had my first appointment with Dr. Rachel today and I am so excited! I have seen so many providers trying to find solutions to my pain and I have never felt so heard by another provider. She is so knowledgeable and makes sure you understand what’s going on, and what needs to be done to address it! I felt so safe and comfortable in her care and definitely recommend her to anyone needing pelvic floor therapy! Less

From my very first appointment Dr. Rachel Jalanivich made me feel safe and welcome. She truly cares about her patients, is extremely knowledgeable, and works hard to provide care that goes above and beyond. I will definitely be recommending her practice in the future!! Less

Dr. Rachel provides comprehensive and compassionate care! She’s very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend seeing her for any pelvic floor needs! Less

I love, love, LOVE Rachel! I'm 7.5 months postpartum from a c-section and she is helping me recover my body before I get pregnant with baby #2 and aim for a VBAC. I've also had nightly bladder issues since before I was pregnant with my first and it only took a month before those issues resolved with the exercises and techniques she gave me. plus the convenience of her coming to my house for sessions helps with a baby at home. I will forever recommend her and plan to continue to see her as I recover from this last pregnancy and through my next Pregnancy and postpartum. Less

I used Rachel for my postpartum pelvic floor recovery. Rachel is knowledgeable, professional, personable, and hilarious. She made me feel empowered, took the time to explain things in a way I could understand, and showed me what my potential recovery could be. She let me know that what I was capable of was greater than I expected and I am now enjoying a full recovery with no limitations and the ability to enjoy my baby and my body. Less

I attended Rachel's "Breathing Strategies For A Leak-Free Life" workshop and was so thankful to be there. She is a powerhouse of knowledge in so many of the intimate areas that woman commonly struggle with. It was easy to be open an honest about my pelvic floor struggles and felt no sort of judgement from her. I look forward to attending more workshops and plan to schedule a evaluation with her soon! Less

Literally an answer to prayers! Rachel has helped my diastasis and messed up tailbone so much! She’s wonderful to work with and knows her stuff. Can’t thank her enough! Less

Rachel is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable PT’s I’ve worked with. It’s very difficult for me to get comfortable when it comes to pelvic floor therapy, but she made it so easy and comfortable. I look forward to our weekly sessions and I learn something new about how I can help my body improve each time. Less

I use to work and assist Rachel when she lived in CA and let me tell you.. she absolutely knows what she is talking about and she will always be honest with you. She makes sure that you know what’s going on detail per detail and explains things in a way that even your cat will understand what’s going on! I’ve never appreciate the field of pelvic health until Rachel emphasize how crucial and special the male and female body is—especially during the process of birth and it’s many complications. You’re in good hands if you’re looking for someone to care for your pelvic floor needs, Rachel cares about each and everyone with a whole heart Less

After delivering my first baby, I was concerned about my pelvic floor and some resulting prolapse and DR (diastasis recti). I went into my initial assessment with Rachel a bit discouraged and afraid that I may never get back to my pre-pregnancy activities. Rachel immediately eased my concerns and reassured me that I would see substantial improvement. She educated me about the pelvic floor, prolapse and how breastfeeding would affect my tissue. While pelvic floor therapy can be somewhat awkward, Rachel put me at ease. She gave detailed explanations of what she was doing and why. She was also able to empathize with the chaotic schedule of a new mom by providing realistic homework exercises to keep me moving forward without overwhelming me. Rachel is professional, personable, knowledgeable and, best of all, effective! I am now 6 months postpartum, able to squat with a barbell, able to baby-wear my 20 pound nugget and resume normal daily activity without prolapse symptoms and my DR is completely resolved. I would highly recommend Rachel to any woman wanting to regain control of her body! Less

Dr. Jalanavich is a true professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human physiology as it pertains to rehabilitation and improving how you feel. As a woman, I feel like she understands our needs while speaking to us in a way that feels comfortable (even with uncomfortable topics) - kind of like a best friend who is help healing you. Im upset she moved from San Diego but would highly recommend her for anyone in her vicinity for physical therapy! Less

I’ve known Rachel through out her career and would highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable and passionate about women's health. She is an advocate for women providing caring therapy and education in her practice. Rachel creates a comfortable environment for patients to openly discuss pelvic floor issues, available treatments and resources. Less

I highly recommend working with Rachel, she's personable, down to earth, and most importantly an animal and plant lover. She's an amazing human who will go out of her way to make sure you get the best care possible. Less
