Estella Maritza Mejia, PT, DPT, was born and raised in sunny South Florida. Bilingual in both English and Spanish, she has a deep-rooted connection to her diverse community and strives to make her services accessible to as many people as possible. From a young age, she had a natural curiosity about the human body and a creative spark fuelled by her love for art, which ultimately guided her toward the field of physical therapy.
Estella completed a double major in Recreation and Sports Management and Interdisciplinary Studies at Florida International University. Her fascination with the body’s mechanics and ability to heal through movement only deepened with time, leading her to pursue a Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Here her passion for pelvic health blossomed; she co-founded the Pelvic Floor Special Interest Group in her first year and before graduating had completed Herman and Wallace Pelvic Floor Level 1 certification.

She found that physical therapy joins her passion for studying movement with a human connection.
Bridgit received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Hunter College in New York City. She has completed clinical affiliations in acute bedside, neurological inpatient, and outpatient settings with a speciality focus on pelvic floor physical therapy.
