Isabel Hartounian, MS, OTR/L, PMH-C, TIPHP
Owner & Occupational Therapist
After navigating perinatal depression, pelvic pain, and incontinence firsthand—and struggling to find the right support—Isabel knew something had to change. She founded Thrive Maternal Care to provide the care she wished she had during her own postpartum journey. Now, she specializes in pelvic health and maternal mental health, helping moms rebuild strength and reclaim confidence in their bodies.
Before diving into pelvic health, Isabel spent a decade working in pediatrics, supporting families in early intervention, home-based therapy, and sensory-based clinics. Now, she’s grateful to have built a space where moms don’t have to suffer in silence. Expanding Thrive Maternal Care and growing a team of passionate experts means more South Bay moms get the care they deserve—because motherhood is hard enough without dealing with pelvic floor issues alone.

Pelvic Floor Occupational Therapist
Angeliki’s passion for pelvic health started close to home—first, when her sister opened up about postpartum urinary incontinence, and later, when she faced her own pregnancy challenges with twins. Between pubic symphysis pain, vulvar swelling, and the general what-is-happening-to-my-body chaos, she became obsessed with understanding and improving pelvic health for moms.
Determined to bridge the gap in care, she immersed herself in research, got hands-on training, and started helping other moms navigate their own perinatal experiences. Before specializing in pelvic health, Angeliki spent seven years working in trauma and community hospitals throughout the Bay Area, gaining invaluable experience in post-surgical recovery, outpatient pelvic floor therapy, and even designing a peripartum exercise modification program at a local barre studio. Her dedication to excellence led her to complete the OT Pioneers Pelvic Health Training, earn a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Certification, and achieve a Barre Intensity Certification, all of which empower her to offer a holistic and informed approach to pelvic health care.
