About Us
Dr. Meilin Yang
Meilin is the owner and founder of Lumina Pelvic Health. She is a licensed physical therapist practicing in the Greater Seattle area with a focus on the pelvic floor.
Meilin’s interest in the pelvic floor stemmed from experiencing overactive bladder syndrome. She was told by multiple healthcare providers that she just has a small bladder - the size of a squirrel’s - and was prescribed medication to control urinary urgency and frequency. She felt hopeless until learning more about what the pelvic floor is all about and eventually with self treatment, overcame her symptoms and felt more equipped to take control of her own health. Now Meilin wants to help women feel empowered and prioritize their physical health.
Meilin is a native New Yorker, travel enthusiast, cookie baker, and plant and animal lover. Outside of work, you can find her cuddling with her baby girl, hiking, trying new foods, playing board games and sports, or cooking. She also enjoys spending some of her free time educating and raising awareness about pelvic health by teaching small workshops within the community, speaking at perinatal support groups, and at women's health conferences.
