Fun fact: Pelvic Guru started out in 2012 as a hobby site by Tracy. She had a passion and desire to improve access to information and resources about pelvic health for the public. The response to the originally small blog website and social media account was overwhelmingly positive and has now grown to a mission-driven business that includes a full spectrum of services – a pelvic health education academy, global professional membership (GPHAM), mentoring courses, patient groups on social media, the largest multidisciplinary global pelvic health directory, and a wide array of resources.
