Episode Details

This week, we sit down with Elisa Travis, PT, PPCES, founder of HomeCore Physical Therapy. Elisa’s story begins in 1993 when she became the only Orthodox Jewish woman in her physical therapy program, breaking barriers and honoring her faith in a field that had never seen someone like her.

After decades of working in traditional PT settings, Elisa found herself in an acute psychiatric hospital feeling unfulfilled and ready for something different. A stiff neck, a steak dinner fundraiser, and a chance meeting with Dr. Richard Cohen led her to shadow renowned PT Andy Lear. That experience changed everything. Elisa discovered pelvic floor therapy and instantly knew she had found her calling.

She fell in love with the intimacy, the bedside manner, and the deep emotional support this work requires. She wanted more time with her patients, more privacy, more warmth, and the freedom to treat women the way they deserve to be treated. That vision led her to create HomeCore, her in-home pelvic floor practice serving women through pregnancy, postpartum healing, and the transitions of perimenopause.

In this episode we talk about faith, intuition, motherhood, career reinvention, and the courage it takes to build the life you were meant for. Elisa’s journey proves that purpose often appears in the most unexpected moments.
