Emily Merollis, MOTR/L, RYT
I'm Emily Merollis, MOTR/L RYT, founder of The Integrated Feminine. In my many years of service to others, I believe that there is no better "core" to go after than the pelvic floor. Our pelvis is the complex fulcrum of our body, housing and protecting the most essential organs and functions, and taking the brunt of most of our movement needs and stress.
As an occupational therapist, my mission is to help clients get back to what they love, and to learn the skills to maintain daily lifestyle habits to live an healthy, empowered life with a deeper connection to body, mind, and spirit. As a lifelong athlete and aerialist, I am passionate in developing customized fitness programs for each individual to regain functional strength and increase body awareness.
Gina Inglese, MOTR/L
Hi, I’m Gina Inglese, MOTR/L and I am thrilled to be a part of the team at Integrated Feminine! I received my education at Salus University outside Philadelphia, PA. Pelvic floor health can be overlooked, but is a vital component of overall wellness for all genders. Occupational therapy is unique in that it addresses both physical and psycho-social components of health in a holistic, individualized manner. My role is to ensure clients have the tools they need to thrive in their daily lives, while addressing any barriers along the way.
I have a special interest in mental health, alternative methods to pain management, incontinence, and sexual health. I love exploring the connection between the body and the mind, and engaging the whole self to create best possible outcomes. I look forward to collaborating with you to reach your goals!
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
...She helped me with some tips that were key for me in both preparing for and getting successfully through my unmedicated labor/birth (with a big baby, nonetheless!)... Now she is helping me focus on what I can do to help the healing and strengthening process afterward. I only wish I’d had this kind of support with my first baby! I highly recommend Emily and her services.

...I just want to say how AMAZING Emily and The Integrated Feminine is!!! I am really happy to say that I have had 3 really thorough appointments with Emily along with exercises she gave me, and through her holistic approach, my tailbone is almost back to 100% straight, the tailbone pain is mostly gone, and my hips stayed even since our last appointment for once in my life!!...
