Hi, my name is Emily Rojas-Blanco, and I'm a Womens Health Physical Therapist at Painless Pregnancy. I grew up in Venezuela and I've been living in the United States since 2009. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in Cytogenetics and a minor in Applied Mathematics from Kennesaw State University in 2015. Later, I obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Mercer University in Atlanta, GA.

I started my career by working with very frail populations in the inpatient hospital setting. It was then that I realized how common it is to live with chronic pain, and how 

this phenomenon expands to the general population. This realization fueled my passion for women's health, specifically for raising awareness about pelvic floor dysfunction, and the changes that women's bodies undergo during their pregnancy and post-partum.

I strongly believe in promoting awareness about living a pain-free life, so that we can better care for ourselves and our loved ones. I'm dedicated to offering expert care for moms and moms-to-be, so they can fully savor every moment with their little ones.

Aside from my work as a physical therapist, I enjoy staying active by running and practicing yoga. I also enjoy taking walks by the beach, cooking vegetarian meals, and spending quality time with my family. 
I'm excited to be a part of your journey and help guide you through the process of becoming pain-free, stronger, and empowered.

Hi my name is Victoria! I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and minor in Nutrition. I then went on to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Marist College.  

I have worked with various populations including orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, geriatric, pediatric, athletes, pregnant, and postpartum. I grew to love working specifically with the pregnant and postpartum population as I saw the direct benefits exercise, manual therapy, and education can bring women undergoing so many different changes to their body during pregnancy and after 

Hi, I’m Dr. Katie Webster. Originally from a small town in Kentucky, I spent most of my formative years growing up in the state. I attended Georgetown College for my bachelor’s degree, and I then graduated with my PhD in Anatomy and Neuroanatomy from The University of Louisville.

I was then a professor for several years and was dedicated to continue working in academia until life pulled me in other directions. I then shifted to becoming a Physical Therapist, graduating from the University of Miami.

Hi! My name is Silvia! I graduated from Southern Adventist University, in Collegedale, TN with my Bachelors in Health Science. Since the moment I learned about physical therapy when I was in high school, I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career.

That is how I ended up earning my degree in Physical Therapy on the other side of the world in Manila, Philippines.

giving birth. I am excited to bring awareness to common and uncommon pregnancy and postpartum conditions and guide women through the physical and psychological changes they may encounter. I believe that exercise is medicine and the more knowledge I can impart to help educate women the more prepared, less stressed, and better managed their pain will be.  

My 20 years of experience as a dancer has helped me mold my treatment sessions focusing on movement, strength training, balance, and flexibility which I tailor to meet the specific needs of each patient I work with. 
I look forward to treating you and being a part of the Painless Pregnancy tribe!

During my training, I became a mother, and the journey pregnancy and labor took me on shaped the therapist I am today. I was committed to continuing to run, bike, and strength train throughout my first pregnancy. With the proper dosing and pacing I was able to do so. However, my second pregnancy was vastly different from my first and I couldn’t move the way I wanted to. The experience humbled me and helped me realize that even feeling comfortable in your own skin can be an immensely difficult goal. I truly believe that movement is medicine and following that line of thought we can incorporate thoughtful, pointed modifications in movement to help reduce or prevent pain during pregnancy.  

I am passionate about helping other mothers adjust to their changing bodies, maintaining their sense of self, and having the pregnancy and birthing experience they are hoping for. I am dedicated to lifelong learning and the pursuit of knowledge to stay informed with up-to-date clinical practices and techniques. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!

My passion for PT has taken me to the other side of the world and back. This exposure to and immersion in different cultures has led me to understand that each patient's care is unique and multifaceted. At it's core, however, it requires that the treatment I provide is founded on genuine care, open communication, and trust. As I've worked with people of all ages, with various conditions (orthopedic, geriatric, vestibular, and neurological), it has been my greatest joy to dedicate time to educating my patients on their condition and recovery while providing them with support and practical skills they can use going forward. 

I truly believe that knowledge is power and aspire to see my patients gain the skills they need to continue caring for their bodies through exercise. Now, as part of the Painless Pregnancy tribe, my hope for the pregnant and postpartum polulation is the same. Each woman is different and each pregnancy is different. My desire is that as you allow me to walk alongside you through pregnancy and beyond, we can make this special time in your life as easy, stress-free, and pain-free as possible.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals through Painless Pregnancy!
