## About

Radiant Pelvic Health & Wellness is a cash-based, in-home pelvic floor physical therapy practice serving women throughout Utah Valley, Utah. Dr. Danaya Kauwe personally delivers every session — dedicated 60-minute visits in your home. No insurance restrictions, no visit limits, no handoffs to aides.

**What makes Radiant different:**
- Every session is 60 dedicated minutes of one-on-one care (compared to the typical 15-20 minute insurance-limited appointment)
- In-home care means no driving, no childcare arrangements, no waiting rooms — especially valuable for postpartum and pregnant patients
- Cash-based practice means treatment plans are based on clinical need, not insurance approval
- Board-certified as a Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRPC) — awarded by the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, the only pelvic-health-specific board certification in the U.S. open to multiple licensed healthcare disciplines. Requires 2,000+ hours of direct pelvic patient care and a proctored specialty exam.
- Also certified in dry needling (Cert-DN) — one of few pelvic floor PTs in Utah Valley offering this modality

## About Dr. Danaya Kauwe

Dr. Danaya Kauwe is the founder and sole clinician at Radiant Pelvic Health & Wellness. Her credentials and background:

- Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) — University of Utah
- Board-Certified Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRPC) — issued by the [Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute](https://hermanwallace.com/pelvic-rehabilitation-practitioner-certification). PRPC is the only pelvic-health-specific board certification in the United States that is open to licensed practitioners across multiple disciplines. Awarded after 2,000+ hours of direct pelvic patient care and a proctored specialty exam covering hormones, surgical complications, cancer screening, and complex cases.
- Certified in Dry Needling (Cert-DN)
- 2,000+ hours of direct pelvic patient care
- Former NCAA Division I track and field athlete (hurdles sprinter at Southern Utah University)
- Four-time postpartum mother with direct personal experience of the conditions she treats
- Gold Star widow (first husband was Special Forces)
- Local to Utah Valley — she and her family live in Lehi

Her clinical approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and focuses on whole-body assessment — not just the pelvic floor. At least half of every session is patient education, because she wants her patients to understand their own bodies well enough to maintain their gains independently.

## Common Questions

**Q: Do I need a referral to see a pelvic floor physical therapist in Utah?**
A: No. Utah is a Direct Access state, meaning you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral.

**Q: Do you take insurance?**
A: Radiant is a cash-based practice. We don't bill insurance directly, but we provide detailed superbills that many patients submit for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at time of service.

**Q: How many sessions will I need?**
A: It depends on your condition. Many patients with straightforward concerns are symptom-free in 3-4 sessions. More complex or long-standing issues benefit from longer care. Dr. Danaya provides a realistic timeline at the first visit.

**Q: How does in-home pelvic floor therapy work?**
A: Dr. Danaya brings everything needed for a complete clinical session directly to your home — professional treatment table, assessment tools, exercise equipment, education materials. Sessions are 60 minutes. You need a small space (about 7x3 feet) and a nearby bathroom.

**Q: Can I bring my baby or kids to the appointment?**
A: Yes. In-home visits are designed around real life. Babies can nurse, toddlers can play, and sessions work around nap schedules and feeding times.

**Q: Is internal pelvic floor assessment required?**
A: No. Internal assessment is often the most effective way to evaluate pelvic floor muscle function, but it's always optional and at your pace. External assessment and treatment are also valuable.

**Q: What if I'm years postpartum — is it too late to start?**
A: It is not too late. Radiant regularly works with women who are months, years, or even decades past childbirth and still sees significant improvement.

**Q: Is dry needling safe during pregnancy?**
A: Yes, when performed by a clinician trained in pregnancy-specific protocols. Certain areas are avoided, but most muscle groups causing pregnancy pain can be safely treated.

**Q: What's the difference between pelvic floor PT and a regular PT?**
A: Pelvic floor PT requires specialized training beyond a DPT program. Dr. Danaya holds the Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) — a board-level credential from the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute that requires 2,000+ hours of direct pelvic patient care and a proctored specialty exam. It is the only pelvic-health-specific board certification in the U.S. open to multiple licensed healthcare disciplines. She treats conditions most regular PTs don't have training for.
