LEADERSHIP TEAM
Tracy Sher, Founder/CEO & Instructor
Dr. Tracy Sher is the Founder/CEO of the global platform, Pelvic Guru, LLC/Pelvic Global and the Global Pelvic Health Alliance Membership (GPHAM). She is also the Owner/Clinical Director of the private practice, Sher Pelvic Health and Healing in Orlando.
Orlando Family Magazine named Tracy as one of a select few “Readers’ Choice for Best Doctor for Women 2016” in the area of female pelvic medicine. She is a Pelvic PT, sex counselor, and strength and conditioning specialist.
Tracy has a passion for treating complex pelvic health cases relating to pelvic pain, sexual pain, and postpartum changes. As a leader in the area of pelvic health therapy with a biopsychosocial approach, she travels across the US and the world sharing her expertise, teaching courses, and speaking to the community and professionals. Tracy thrives on being a connector to bring people together and improve the way healthcare providers learn and help others.
Fun fact: Pelvic Guru started out in 2012 as a hobby site by Tracy. She had a passion and desire to improve access to information and resources about pelvic health for the public. The response to the originally small blog website and social media account was overwhelmingly positive and has now grown to a mission-driven business that includes a full spectrum of services – a pelvic health education academy, global professional membership (GPHAM), mentoring courses, patient groups on social media, the largest multidisciplinary global pelvic health directory, and a wide array of resources.
