Anietie Ukpe-Wallace

Dr. Anietie Ukpe-Wallace, PT, DPT, also known as Tia, is an orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist who specializes in providing a continuum of care and support from pregnancy loss to postpartum all while emphasizing the importance of self-care. Tia has had a lifelong fascination with the human body and its inner workings, which ultimately led her on the path that she is on today. Beginning with a formal introduction to movement in college, she has continued that journey ever since. As a yoga teacher of eight years around the Bay Area, CA, her practice morphed from one of structure and ego to one of humility and independent thinking. After her own chronic struggles surrounding her pelvic floor and multiple miscarriages, she has grown a love for learning and understanding this part of the body that is rarely talked about and sometimes even misunderstood. She is currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Oakland, CA where she offers both telehealth and clinic-based services through her practice, Self-Care Physio. In addition, she is the creator of Tending to Your Womb, a soon-to-be book and online platform and blog offering wisdom around caring for the womb through all stages of life, an amateur pole artist and rollerskater, and a budding herbal student. She is a wife, mother to her 10-year-old daughter, and a cat mom. More info can be found here: www.selfcarephysio.com
