She holds a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, earned in 2012, and continues to advance her training through the Herman & Wallace Institute.

Administrative Team
Abby Ryan
Administrative Assistant
As the administrative assistant at Thrive Pelvic Therapy, Abby is often the first friendly voice you'll hear when you call or visit. She’s dedicated to making every client feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for from the very first interaction.
Originally from Philadelphia, Abby moved to Berks County in 2018 and is a proud cat mom to Bean and Nugget. Her passion for women’s health was shaped by her own experiences navigating a healthcare system that didn’t always feel supportive. That journey inspired her to be part of a space where women feel truly seen, heard, and empowered.
Abby brings warmth, empathy, and a genuine desire to help—ensuring every client’s experience at Thrive is both positive and supportive.
