Distinguished Alumnus
Dr. Rose Schlaff (DPT, WHC, IF) has always had a gift for making people feel at ease when talking about uncomfortable, sensitive, or embarrassing topics. It’s no surprise that she ended up in the world of pelvic and sexual health. Dr. Schlaff received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from San Diego State University, specializing in treating the pelvic floor muscles. After that, she became a Certified Women’s Health Coach and Women’s Sexual Health Fellow. Now, Dr. Schlaff owns her own virtual sexual health coaching practice where she helps women who struggle with pain or discomfort during sex overcome pain and experience pleasure and joy both in and out of the bedroom. In addition to her virtual sexual health coaching practice, she is a guest lecturer for the University of Michigan’s Human Sexuality Certificate program and San Diego State University’s Marriage and Family Therapy Sexuality and Intimacy course. She has had the opportunity to lecture internationally on the topic of women’s sexual and pelvic health in Beijing, China. Dr. Schlaff has published in the Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy and is a contributing author to the World Professional Scientific Committee for the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.
