Pelvic Health Specialist
-
Karlyn is a pelvic health specialist at Pelvic Connections Therapy and Wellness.
She is an occupational therapist with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages and genders in a variety of settings. Karlyn became interested in pelvic floor health for both personal and professional reasons; supporting neurodivergent youth and their families when navigating the complexities of toileting, educating young adults and their teachers about healthy relationships, and navigating back-to-back pregnancies and postpartum recovery within her own body. Karlyn is passionate about person-centered, neurodiversity affirming, and trauma informed care, and loves to work with all individuals, but especially those who transcend traditional boundaries.
Karlyn graduated with her Bachelor's of Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2010, and her Master's of Occupational Therapy from BayPath University in 2013. Karlyn has also completed her Certified Sexuality Occupational Therapist (CSOT) training through the Institute for Sex, Intimacy, and Occupational Therapy, and has completed training through Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and Sarah Duvall's Pelvic Floor & Core Program.
Megan Santana
MOT, OTR/L
Pelvic Health Specialist
-
Megan is a pelvic health specialist at Pelvic Connections Therapy and Wellness. Megan has always been passionate about helping people regain confidence, independence, and trust in their bodies. Early in her career working in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, she witnessed countless individuals becoming reliant on catheters, pads, and other management strategies without ever being offered education, conservative treatment options, or answers to why their symptoms were happening. Those experiences sparked her passion for pelvic health and ultimately led her to outpatient practice, where she could help people address the root causes of their symptoms rather than simply manage them.
As a pelvic health occupational therapist, Megan believes every symptom tells a story. Whether someone is struggling with bladder urgency, leakage, pelvic pain, constipation, painful intimacy, postpartum recovery, or the complex challenges that can accompany hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, her goal is to understand the bigger picture and help patients reconnect the dots.
Megan has personal experience navigating hypermobility herself, which gives her a unique appreciation for the frustration, unpredictability, and resilience often involved in these conditions. She particularly enjoys helping individuals with hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), chronic pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction develop practical strategies while building strength, stability, and confidence in their bodies.
Her treatment style is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. She takes the time to understand each person's story, lifestyle, goals, and nervous system, recognizing that meaningful healing rarely comes from a one-size-fits-all approach. Megan combines hands-on care, movement, education, and problem-solving to help patients move toward lasting change and greater freedom in their daily lives.
Above all, Megan wants every person who walks through her door to feel heard, supported, and empowered, and to leave with a clearer understanding of their body and a path forward.
When she's not in the clinic, you'll find her spending time with her mini schnauzer-poodle mix, hiking local trails, experimenting with photography, playing video games, or working on creative projects like punch needling.

Crystal brings more than 25 years of experience in customer service, leadership, coaching, and client support to her role as Client Care Coordinator at Pelvic Connections.
As one of the first friendly faces you'll connect with, Crystal is passionate about helping clients feel comfortable, supported, and cared for from their very first phone call. She understands that reaching out for pelvic health care can feel vulnerable, and she strives to create a welcoming, judgment-free experience where every person feels heard and valued.
Throughout her career, Crystal has built a reputation for her warmth, compassion, and ability to make meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. Her background in leadership, hospitality, coaching, and business development has provided her with strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, allowing her to guide clients through scheduling, questions, and the logistics of care with ease.
Crystal believes that exceptional care begins long before a treatment session starts. Whether she's helping a new client take the first step toward care or supporting an existing client throughout their journey, her goal is to make every interaction feel personal, seamless, and encouraging.
Outside of the office, Crystal enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying active, and finding opportunities to connect with and support those around her.
