More About My Guests:

Doug Vestal is the founder of Freedom of Practice where he helps OTs build successful private pay practices through his comprehensive course and mentorship program, Private Pay MBA.  If you didn't catch it from his last name, he is my husband and was my original business coach who helped me start and grow the Functional Pelvis.  He worked on Wall Street for 15 years in NYC and Paris before transitioning to working with OTs where he brings a distinct blend of financial acumen and healthcare entrepreneurship.  He has a PhD in statistics and applied probability and he is the author of the forthcoming book "Financial Freedom for OTs: your stress-free guide to money."  But, the best job he's ever had is being an amazing father to our two kiddos.

Shari Barta is a Pelvic Floor Occupational Therapist with two decades of physical rehabilitation knowledge, personal training, and Pilates to help people overcome both new and chronic physical conditions. She holds advanced degrees and certifications in Occupational Therapy, Ergonomics, Personal Training, Pilates, and Postpartum Corrective Exercise.   

Shari’s passion for healing has driven her to create CoreRehab, a women’s health program designed to help women restore their bodies post-childbirth and prevent common chronic conditions. The program helps all women whether you are 6 weeks or 60 years postpartum.  The goal of this program and its mission is to erase the stigma surrounding pelvic floor conditions and allow women to rehabilitate with dignity.  

CoreRehab was born from a personal experience and mission.  Shari is a mom of 2 and had a diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction following her 2 childbirths.  In Shari’s attempt to get better, she was met with subpar healthcare and statements such as “It’s normal you need to accept it.”  Her answer was HELL NO!  In the journey to cure herself, she came up with the CoreRehab program.  CoreRehab is a fusion of pelvic floor therapy, postpartum corrective exercises, and Pilates.
