When it comes to your pelvic health, you deserve focused, personalized care that addresses the whole you—not just a checklist of symptoms. That’s why more and more people are turning to cash-based pelvic floor therapy. While insurance-based clinics may seem more affordable on the surface after waiting 6 months to get in-office and treated, working with a cash-based provider can offer deeper value and more transformative results in the long run.

Let’s break down why.

1. You Get More Time with Your Therapist

In many insurance-based models, therapists are often juggling two or more patients at once, leading to shorter one-on-one time. You might spend half the session on a machine or with an aide rather than receiving focused care.

With a cash-based provider, your session is typically 100% one-on-one, allowing the therapist to deeply assess, treat, and educate you in every visit. This kind of attention is critical when working with something as nuanced and sensitive as the pelvic floor.

2. Treatment Plans Are Customized to You

Insurance companies often dictate what diagnoses are covered, how many sessions are allowed, and which treatments are “approved”—even if your body needs more. Cash-based therapy allows your provider to tailor your care without insurance limitations, treating your root cause, not just the insurance code.

Whether you need internal work, nervous system regulation, support with intimacy, or postpartum core retraining—cash-based therapists can integrate it all without needing to justify it to an insurance adjuster.

3. Fewer Sessions, Better Outcomes

Because cash-based sessions are more comprehensive and individualized, many patients find they need fewer visits overall. Rather than getting partial care spread across 12 visits, you may get more out of just 4–6 thoughtful, full-length sessions.

This saves time, emotional energy, and in many cases—money.

4. It Might Actually Cost the Same (or Less) Than Using Insurance

If you have a high deductible health plan, chances are you’re paying out of pocket anyway until you meet that deductible. Add in multiple $40–$70 copays per visit, and the numbers start to look surprisingly similar to cash-based rates.

Plus, many patients compare it to other regular expenses—like:
• A manicure and pedicure every few weeks
• A hair appointment or color treatment
• A gym membership or fitness class package
• A couple of Amazon orders or Target runs

Except pelvic floor therapy is helping you move better, feel better, connect to your body, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. That’s worth prioritizing.

5. It’s Private, Empowering, and Centered Around You

Pelvic floor therapy can feel vulnerable. Choosing a cash-based therapist often means working with someone who has intentionally built a private, supportive environment. You aren’t rushed in and out of a busy clinic. Instead, your story is heard, your goals are prioritized, and your healing journey is honored.

6. You’re Investing in Your Long-Term Wellness

Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just about kegels—it affects your daily life, your relationships, and your confidence. When you choose a cash-based provider, you’re investing in someone who has the time and training to look at your full picture—from posture and breath to trauma-informed care and long-term prevention.

You’re not just managing symptoms. You’re building a stronger, more connected foundation for your whole body.

Final Thoughts: You Are Worth It

We know the word cash-based can feel intimidating at first—but remember, this is about getting care that’s actually designed to help you heal, not just help you cope.

You’d never second guess the value of a good haircut or the right shoes for your workout. Pelvic floor therapy is your body’s version of that kind of care—it’s essential support for how you live, move, love, and feel.

And you are absolutely worth the investment. I also understand financial responsibilities and the cost of living drastically changing.. I am always happy to work with members of the community to make this accessible for everyone and believe in sliding scales and friendly cost workshops as well.

Love and light,
