In this testimonial, physical therapist Katie Ihlenfeldt reflects on her experience with the PelviBiz program. She describes a profound mindset shift: moving from incremental, clinic‑focused thinking to dreaming bigger and believing in herself. The program prompted her to envision a cash‑based practice rather than staying in the traditional clinic or hospital grind. She highlights the confidence boost she received from supportive peers and mentors, and she recommends PelviBiz not only to pelvic‑health PTs but to any physical therapist or occupational therapist who wants to launch a cash‑based business and escape the routine of conventional settings. The core takeaway is the inspiration to trust oneself, set larger goals, and take actionable steps toward an independent practice.

My biggest takeaway from Pelviz has just been I feel like changing the way that I think about what I want to do. What, like, she asked us this weekend what is our biggest dream? And I, like, I'm still thinking about it. It's so overwhelming because you never, I've never thought that way. You're just kind of thinking like, okay, I'm just gonna do the next thing or I'm just gonna, like, how do I, you know, maybe the next clinic's gonna be better or something like that. But it's not. You have to dream bigger and figure out what you want for yourself and just believe in yourself enough to take the steps. And that's just like the biggest thing that I've taken away from pelvi biz is just the inspiration to believe in yourself. I would recommend Pelvibiz to not just, you know, physical therapists who are pelvic health pts that want to get into their own cash based business, but like any physical therapist or OT who wants to start their own cash based business and just get out of the rut and the grind of what we're doing in our clinics and the hospitals right now. So pretty much anybody. The biggest change in my mindset since I'm still getting my foot, my feet wet, I guess with the business is kind of like I explained in the beginning, that it's just the confidence to believe in myself and have people around you that want to support you, who push you when you need the push. And I guess just pushing myself to dream bigger is the biggest change in the mindset that I've had this weekend.
