Anna Albrecht

Anna's diverse professional experience enables her to meet clients where they are on any given day throughout their fitness journey. She began her career as a Neonatal Respiratory Therapy Specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago while earning a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and a Master of Public Health from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

After the birth of her two sons, Anna sought a more flexible schedule and transitioned into the fitness field. She became certified in the STOTT PILATES full equipment repertoire, owned Body Positive Pilates studio for 15 years, completed a year-long Muscle Activation Techniques internship, and pursued additional training through the Resistance Training Specialist program.

Her interest in public health was rekindled when she participated in a research study on the effects of exercise on urinary incontinence. This experience eventually led her to assume the role of Program Director for The Women's Health Foundation (WHF), one of the sponsors of the study. During her tenure at WHF, Anna met many pelvic health physical therapists who inspired her to change careers. At age 51, she earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Governors State University and later became board certified as a Pelvic Health Specialist.

Anna currently lives in the West Loop of Chicago and enjoys "city things," including live music, theater, street fairs, and lakefront bike rides, as well as camping and traveling with family and friends. She recently completed a 200 hour Yoga teacher training and has RYT200 status by The Yoga Alliance.
