In this episode, we are exploring physical therapy, dry needling, posture, and taking a preventative approach to address areas of tension before they become a pervasive problem.
Dr. Chera Hope is the owner of Hope Physical Therapy & Wellness. She has been a Physical Therapist for 26 years. Some of her specialties include hands on manual therapy, dry needling for muscle pain, chronic pain, headaches and migraines, and scar release therapy. She opened Hope PT & Wellness 5 years ago with a passion to treat holistically, create a relaxed and nurturing environment, and reach out to the community with education on how to prevent pain before it starts. She also knows the importance of having women’s health/ pelvic floor rehab as a part of her practice, because many women suffer needlessly with problems during and after pregnancy or from surgeries.
After living in Latin America for a few years and working closely with some orphanages in several of these countries, she has a heart for Latin American communities and supporting children’s charities. Hope PT supports Casa de Luz orphanage in the Dominican Republic, and Hope and Home, a Colorado Springs foster and adoption agency.

Carole Fehrman is the creator and founder of Natural Mama Collective. She is a toxin free educator teaching women/moms simple changes to live a more toxin free life. She designed an online course called 12 Weeks to Toxin Free, where she starts from the basics and helps women feel more empowered in their toxin free journey. She’s a wife to her high school sweetheart (Dr. Cody), and a momma to two sweet kiddos.
Carole’s own toxin-free journey has evolved into what is Natural Mama Collective. While pregnant with her son, she began to dive into the world of toxin-free living. First by choosing home birth with a midwife over traditional obstetric care, and then progressing to research the lotions, washes, bottles, and diapers she would be choosing to put on her registry. As her research continued, she started to learn about things like fragrance, parabens, and phthalates. She learned about the infamous greenwashing of products and how the industries can put “natural” on a label when there isn’t anything “natural” about the product.
Carole has made it her mission to be the change. Her life’s work is to help women reduce their toxic load and choose better products for their families and themselves. Through Natural Mama Collective she offers ingredient education, safe swaps, a solution to toxic beauty, and a safe space for women to gather no matter where they may be in their own toxin free journey. It’s become a catalyst of change for future generations.
