Meet Dr. Bria Stark OTR/L, OTD, PCES, CSOT

Hi, I'm Dr. Bria!
I'm an occupational therapist that specializes in pelvic floor therapy. My passion dates back to my undergraduate days, looking for a career path I would always stay passionate about. I chose to blend my love for advocacy, creativity, justice, and humanity into my rehabilitation education.
I'm originally from the Rockford, IL area, so yes I have a midwest accent and love cheese curds and deep dish! I continued East when completing my doctorate program in Ohio and soon after landed in beautiful North Carolina!
I am a travel loving bookworm who adores a solid cold plunge/sauna session with a local coffee date planned for later. I enjoy nature walks with my lovely husband and snuggles with my three cats (yes, I'm a cat lady)!
