About Gillian Sukachevin
Gillian received her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Andrews University in 1998 and gained a vast and diverse history of experience in outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation. Following a back injury, four car accidents and birth trauma, Gillian experienced years of pain and feeling disconnected from her body. She came to The Tummy Team for her own recovery in 2012. With the help of Kelly Dean, she not only found relief, but also developed a special interest in treating core and pelvic floor conditions. Gillian then completed rigorous one-on-one training with Kelly to become a Tummy Team core rehabilitation specialist. She worked alongside Kelly for 7 years at The Tummy Team clinic where she gained greater understanding of the impact that functional core weakness and pelvic floor dysfunction can have on pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause and other natural life transitions. She is also the co-creator of Floor Of Your Core. She continues to pursues greater understanding of pelvic health and manual therapy through the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT). Her advanced training includes Holistic Pelvic Health with Tami Kent, MSPT, and visceral manipulation through The Barral Institute. When she is not working with clients or studying, Gillian absolutely delights in exploring the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two children, loves a good cup of tea, practices tai chi and enjoys playing the piano.
