Ummul is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who practices Somatic Trauma therapy and Art Psychotherapy.

She is a mom to 3 boys, and to 5 spirit children, and a former marketing executive. When her children were young, they turned to yoga, meditation and mindfulness to help their family through through a personal crisis.

Ummul’s passion to serve, was born from her own challenges she faced as a mother of young kids, managing a career and household and not knowing how to take care of herself. She spent many years, overwhelmed and burnt out, which led to fertility challenges, pregnancy losses, PTSD and autoimmune disorder.

She turned these experiences into life lessons, and she trained, embodied and practiced many mind-body-heart activating modalities, which allowed her to heal from burnout, autoimmune disorder and PTSD.

She is a Somatic Trauma Therapist, Art Therapist, Certified HeartMath Resilience Mentor, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Educator, Trauma and Pelvic Health Informed practitioner, Yin Myofascial Yoga Practitioner, Certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Marketing Specialization.

She spent the past 5 years empowering women who were suffering from various pelvic health related chronic conditions, in a 1:1 setting, where she guided them to rewire their nervous system and come into the driver seat of their biology.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist with over 7 years of experience and additional training in sexual health and foundational neuroscience, Bhawan believes in using education, exercise therapy, and evidence to help empower and uplift women within a comfortable and safe environment. Her passion for providing high quality pelvic and sexual health care was sparked when Bhawan found her close friends who had given birth more than once had never heard of pelvic health physiotherapy. This interest progressed further while Bhawan was working at a prenatal/postnatal care clinic and realized that women in her own community felt silenced when needing sexual health support.

She received a Masters of Physiotherapy from McMaster University after graduating with a Bachelor of Science from Carleton University with a major in Neuroscience. As well, Bhawan is one of few pelvic health physiotherapists in Ontario to have completed a post-graduate certificate in Sexual Health Education from the University of Alberta. Throughout her career, Bhawan has enjoyed educating others and currently holds a position as an Assistant Clinical Professor (Adjunct) at McMaster University and is co-founder of the Sikh Women’s Health Network. As well, she loves using her healthcare experience and sexual health training to develop community centred comprehensive pelvic and sexual health workshops to support proactive and inclusive health care.

She recently gave birth to her first child which has fundamentally changed her perspective on brith prep, post partum rehab, and her entire practice forever.
