We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dr. Betty DeLass, PT, DPT a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Betty, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.

Reborn started as just an idea. It was after the birth of my second child in the beginning of 2020 during the global pandemic of Covid. I was looking for something to fulfill a deep desire in me that I was made for more. So what better thing to do than start a company with two kids under two, a full time job, a husband who travels for work, and having no family to help living in state, and a global pandemic?!? Call me crazy, but thats what we did. I started the company in NE as a concierge mobile pelvic floor physical therapy company who helps women regain confidence in their body, reclaim their intimacy, and live their life participating rather than sitting on the sidelines watching. I saw my first patient in January 2021 and it took off from there. Soon after starting to see patients, we had a career opportunity for my husband present itself and we moved to Utah. So, little did I know that I would then be starting the company over in a new state just 3 months into its inception in NE. We shut down the business and started it up in UT. I started the same way as a concierge mobile practice going to patients homes. I quickly realized that I was not going to be able to see all of the Mom’s that needed to be seen. The next decision was to start seeing patients in clinic. I started 1 day a week and that filled up all 8 hours within 3 hours of sending a blast email to my waiting list. Mind blown. Ok, now we have to come up with another solution! So I made my first hire to have a therapist in clinic 4 days per week while I continued to doing mobile. Since then we have grown and then grown some more. I now currently have 2 brick and mortar locations, one in West Jordan, UT and one in Provo, UT. I have 5 therapists, including myself, a virtual assistant, and a office manager. Additionally, we are still hiring!! The business has grown far beyond what I have ever expected, anticipated, or dreamed of. I am so incredibly thankful for my family who supports my passion, God for paving the way and opening doors for his work to be done, and my staff who wholeheartedly believes in our mission to change the world one vagina at a time!

Dr. Betty, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Dr. Betty is the founder and owner of Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness. She is extremely passionate and has changed the standard of care before, during and after pregnancy, because POSTPARTUM IS FOREVER!

Dr. Betty is a world-class pelvic health expert and has built a center of excellence in Utah for pelvic floor physical therapy. She is a physical therapist by trait and has helped 1000s of people throughout her 10+ year career function, feel and move better. She received her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Madision in 2012.

Knowing first-hand how difficult it can be to navigate this stage of life, having two children of her own, she wanted to help others get back to living their lives to the fullest without shame or embarrassment about their pelvic health. Unfortunently, more often than not, pelvic dysfunction can lead to postpartum mood disorders, secondary to an inability to get back to activity because of unexpected physical changes, pain, discomfort, leaking, and/or painful intimacy. What if we worked more upstream? What if we worked on preventing dysfunction from happening in the first place? And what if we provided true prehab and rehab to our birthing people? And that was where Reborn was derived out of.

Her and her team is very passionate about finding the “why” behind your symptoms, optimizing your body and empowering you to become the expert of your own body so that you can live life to the fullest.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

Absolutely!!! The only thing different I would have done, was start sooner and tell myself to ditch the imposter syndrome. The only thing that was in my way was my own self!

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I believe that if you have passion, purpose and personality you can be successful at anything you want to do. As far specifically for pelvic floor rehab, I recommend that you take the first pelvic floor course level 1 and make sure you are in the right boat. If you are going to do pelvic health you need to be ‘all-in’ and not just dabble a little bit. If you decide that this is the right career path you will have no hesitation. I recommend learning from all sorts of different people who have experience and expertise in the feild. I am also a big fan of dry needling and think that it is a clinical game changer for both the clinician and the patient. Finding a mentor and a place to work that is going to lift you up and help you grow is also essential to fulfillment.
