About Auria
About Auria

More connected. More thoughtful. More human.

Auria was created to address a crucial gap in healthcare – treating people from a holistic, whole-body perspective, not just the symptom in front of us.

Founder
Dr. Sasha Speer, PT, DPT.
After undergoing a C-section to remove a large endometrioma, I experienced firsthand how difficult recovery could be—and how hard it was to find the kind of specialized, whole-person care I believed should already exist. Even as a physical therapist, I found myself searching for answers, navigating fragmented care, and wishing there was a place that looked beyond the diagnosis to truly understand the person.

That belief became the foundation for Auria.

Today, Auria is built on a simple idea: every person deserves to be heard before they are treated. Our team combines expert rehabilitation with a whole-person approach to help people recover, build resilience, and create lasting health not just for today, but for every stage of life.

Our Philosophy

Healthcare That Sees The Whole Human.

Most healthcare begins with a diagnosis. We begin with you. Before creating a treatment plan, we take the time to understand your story, your movement, your goals, and the many factors that influence how you feel. Because pain rarely exists in isolation. The body is deeply connected, and lasting healing often comes from understanding those connections. Stress can influence breathing, posture, muscle tension, and pelvic floor function.

A foot or ankle injury can change the way you walk, contributing to knee, hip, or back pain. Pregnancy transforms far more than the pelvis it changes how your entire body moves, stabilizes, breathes, and adapts.

At Auria, we don’t just treat where it hurts. We look at how your body works as one connected system, so we can uncover what’s driving your symptoms and help you build lasting health not just temporary relief.

We don't just treat where it hurts. We uncover why it hurts.

How We Care

The Auria Way

Treating the whole human isn’t just something we say. It’s the philosophy that guides every evaluation, every treatment plan, and every relationship we build.

01

Listen First

Healing begins with understanding. Before we create a treatment plan, we take the time to understand your story, your goals, and what matters most to you because every person deserves to feel heard before they are treated.

02

See the Whole Picture

Your body is more than a collection of parts. We look beyond the site of pain to understand how your muscles, joints, nervous system, movement, and daily life work together because lasting healing begins by seeing the whole person.

03

Find the Root Cause

We don’t just ask what hurts. We ask why. By uncovering what’s driving your symptoms, we create personalized treatment plans that address the source of the problem not just the symptoms.

04

Build Lasting Health

Recovery isn’t the finish line it’s the foundation. Our goal is to help you move with greater strength, confidence, and resilience so you can continue doing what you love for years to come.

Sasha is amazing! Her fascia release is healing in ways that other PTs never helped with. It took ten years, but I finally found an incredible PT.

I cannot recommend Dr. Sasha from Auria enough—she truly saved me! Before finding her, I had seen other physical therapists who gave me incomplete or even incorrect information, and my issue was never resolved. Dr. Sasha is incredibly professional and reassuring.She takes a brilliant holistic approach to pelvic health, making you feel seen and heard as a whole person. She helped me through a very difficult time and delivered life-changing results. I am so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone. Plus, Dr Sasha and her team are very friendly, always on time, and very responsive. She is the absolute best in Los Angeles!

100% recommend. Romina never pushes me too far and always makes sure I am comfortable. I have had chronic pelvic pain for over a decade and since working with Romina I have gone a whole week with no pain waking me up at night, which before pelvic floor therapy I was lucky to get 1-2 nights with no pain. And my husband and I have been able to be “closer” more often from the relief I have gotten from my sessions.

After having a myomectomy that removed multiple fibroids and endometriosis, I’m so glad I found Auria as my pelvic floor therapy provider to aid my recovery. My goal was to regain strength and confidence in working out again and I’ve gotten more out of my therapy program than I expected. Romina has helped me rebuild my pelvic and deep core strength with internal and external therapy, and also teaching me so much about my body. I’ve learned my nervous system has been totally overstressed for so long, my lower back pain is due to a weak inner core, and how much tension is held in the pelvic floor. She taught me how to properly do kegals, how to engage and relax my pelvic floor, how to coordinate my breathing with my pelvic floor, and she’s helped manage my concerns about scarring, lower back pain. I feel like every women should see a pelvic floor therapist and I would 100% recommend Auria and Romina.

The sessions with Dr Sasha at Auria Pelvic Health have been very professional and Dr Sasha is extremely knowledgable in all things to do with the back, hips and general health. I have been encouraged to do a gentle exercise programme to keep my back moving and to keep down inflammation. In addition she is extremely personable and friendly. I fully recommend going to see her at her clinic.

In just 2 weeks of working with Romina I’ve experienced big improvement with the issues I came in for. My quality of life has improved. She’s patient, caring, and passionate about her work. The front office gals, Kim and Ashley, have also been excellent and on top of it in communication. Overall, great experience.

I am a physical therapist myself and sought out Sasha as she is known in the field as being a top notch clinician. She was my last resort after struggling with SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) for over 2 years. Yes, pelvic health specialists help address gut issues!! I was kicking myself for not going sooner. I tried all the antibiotics, saw a GI doctor and naturopath, but what my body really needed was Sasha. She helped to address very deep scar tissue adhesions from a past abdominal surgery. Not only has she helped my gut issues, but indirectly, helped my hip labral tear too which was a plus. Again, I am a physical therapist and am knowledgable about how to treat myself with traditional PT, but Sasha was the key to unlocking all the fascia, restricted tissue that was desperately needing to be addressed. She is kind, patient, and makes you feel very comfortable. If you are struggling with gut issues, or even labral/hip issues. Go see her, sooner than later. Life is too short to be uncomfortable and in pain.

From day one Dr. Sasha made the appointments a calm, friendly and welcoming environment. When you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome from Ashley. She made the space very open and comforting. Within a few minutes of my first appointment Dr. Sasha was able to come up with a comprehensive and manageable plan. She was able to determine the work that was needed to correct my issues. I had major surgery in my lower abdomen when I was 6 years ago to remove a tumor. I had Rhabdomyosarcoma and needed extensive surgery, chemo and radiation. For most of my life I have had chronic lower back pain and bladder issues. I have seen many doctors and specialists who have provided little to no help for my issues. Before I saw Dr. Sasha I began to become hopeless. Within these sessions I started to notice my back pain diminish and my bladder issues improved tremendously. My tight hips and pelvic floor issues also began to improve. For the first time in my life I found real answers and someone who understood my complex complaints. Dr. Sasha truly is one of the most knowledgeable medical professionals I have ever worked with. Dr. Sasha also worked on pill rolling my abdomen to break up my scar tissue from my past surgeries. From the skin rolling sessions I was able to start breathing fully with my diaphragm and feeling my core. Dr. Sasha also helped show me how to walk correctly using proper hip alignment. Dr. Sasha is someone who I will continue to see even from the East Coast. I would recommend her to everyone I know!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers to Your Most Important Questions.

Have questions about our clinic? Our FAQ section provides answers to common inquiries, helping you understand our services, what to expect, and how we can support your pelvic health journey.

PHYSICAL THERAPY & INSURANCE

Physical therapy sessions typically last about an hour.


The number and frequency of visits varies based on your condition, goals, history, and response to treatment. At your initial evaluation, your therapist will discuss their findings with you and develop an individualized plan of care.


Your plan may change as you progress. We believe care should respond to what your body needs rather than follow a predetermined timeline.

Yes. Auria is in-network with select insurance plans, and we are continuing to expand the plans we accept.

 

Insurance coverage can vary significantly depending on your specific plan and benefits.

 

The best way to determine whether your plan is currently accepted is to call our office and speak with a member of our team. We can help you understand whether Auria is in-network with your particular insurance plan and discuss your options for care.

 

For insurance-based physical therapy, a physician referral may be required.

 

Because our insurance participation may change as we add additional plans, we recommend contacting us directly for the most current information.

It depends on how you are receiving care.

 

If you are using one of the insurance plans for which Auria is an in-network provider, a physician referral may be required. Requirements vary by insurance plan, so please contact our office before your first visit. Our team can help you understand what is needed for your specific coverage.

 

A physician referral is not required for out-of-network physical therapy, Whole Body Optimization Sessions, or Auria’s wellness classes.

 

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, contact our team and we’ll be happy to help you determine the best way to get started.

Wellness

No. Auria’s wellness classes are open both to people who have received physical therapy at Auria and to members of the community who simply want to move, strengthen, and care for their bodies in a supportive environment.


Our Pilates, yoga, and strength offerings are designed with a strong understanding of pelvic health, movement, and whole-body function.


You do not need to have an injury, diagnosis, or history of pelvic floor concerns to participate.

Our wellness program sits at the intersection of movement, strength, pelvic health, and long-term wellbeing.


Rather than viewing exercise as separate from health, our classes are designed to help you build strength, mobility, body awareness, and confidence that carry into everyday life.


Our pelvic-health-informed approach can be especially valuable during life stages such as pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging – but our classes are designed for anyone looking for thoughtful, whole-body movement and strength.

GETTING STARTED

Auria offers an integrated approach to physical therapy and wellness, with services designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and build lasting health.


Our services include:


Pelvic Health Physical Therapy


Specialized care for pelvic pain, bladder and bowel concerns, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, sexual health concerns, and other pelvic floor conditions.


Orthopedic Physical Therapy

 

Whole-body physical therapy for pain, injuries, mobility limitations, post-surgical recovery, and musculoskeletal concerns involving the spine, hips, shoulders, knees, feet, and other areas of the body.


Wellness Classes

 

Pilates, yoga, strength, and movement classes designed with pelvic health and whole-body wellness in mind. Our wellness offerings are available both to current or former Auria patients and to members of the community who have never received physical therapy at Auria.


Not sure where to begin? Contact our team and we can help guide you toward the service that best fits your needs.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation designed to understand not only your symptoms, but how your body is functioning as a whole.


Your physical therapist will take time to listen to your concerns, understand your history and goals, and assess the areas that may be contributing to your symptoms. Depending on your needs, this may include evaluating movement, strength, mobility, breathing, posture, balance, coordination, and other parts of the body.

 

For pelvic health patients, your therapist may recommend an internal pelvic floor examination when clinically appropriate. This will always be explained beforehand and performed only with your consent.


Physical therapy treatment sessions take place in private treatment rooms.

We treat a wide range of pelvic health and orthopedic conditions.


Pelvic health care may include concerns such as pelvic pain, bladder or bowel symptoms, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, sexual health concerns, and complex or persistent pain.


Orthopedic physical therapy may address pain, injury, weakness, mobility limitations, post-surgical rehabilitation, and other musculoskeletal concerns throughout the body.


Because different parts of the body influence one another, our therapists look beyond the location of your symptoms to understand the larger picture.


Visit our Pelvic Health and Orthopedic Physical Therapy service pages for more information, or contact our team if you’re unsure whether Auria is the right fit for your needs.

Many patients come to Auria after trying other approaches.


Symptoms—especially persistent pain and pelvic health concerns – do not always resolve when treatment focuses only on the area where symptoms are felt. The pelvic floor, spine, hips, diaphragm, feet, nervous system, breathing patterns, movement habits, previous injuries, surgeries, and life experiences can all influence how the body functions.


At Auria, we look at the whole picture. Your care is based on what we find during your evaluation and how your body responds over time, rather than following a preset protocol.


Previous treatment that didn’t give you the results you hoped for doesn’t necessarily mean another approach won’t help.

 

Our goal is to understand what may still be contributing to your symptoms and create a clear path forward.

Yes. One of the benefits of Auria’s whole-body approach is that we don’t view pelvic health and orthopedic concerns as completely separate systems.


For example, pelvic symptoms may be influenced by the hips, spine, breathing mechanics, feet, strength, movement patterns, or previous injuries. Similarly, an orthopedic concern may sometimes have a pelvic health component.


When appropriate, your therapist can consider these connections as part of one comprehensive plan of care rather than treating each body part in isolation.

Yes. We regularly work with people who are in Los Angeles for a limited period of time, including those visiting from other states or internationally.


When time is limited, we focus on making your visits as useful as possible: understanding the primary contributors to your symptoms, providing targeted treatment, and giving you clear strategies you can continue independently.


If needed, we can also help you understand what type of care or support may be useful when you return home.


Even a limited number of visits can provide greater clarity about what is happening in your body and what steps to take next.

You don’t need to figure that out on your own.


Contact Auria and tell us a little about what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to accomplish. Our team can help guide you toward Pelvic Health Physical Therapy, Orthopedic Physical Therapy, a Wellness Class, or a combination of services.


Our goal is to meet you where you are today – and help you build the health, strength, and confidence to move toward where you want to be.
