Hi, I’m Veronica “Roni” Crass! I was born and raised on the island of O’ahu, Hawaii. After graduating from Punahou School, I moved to Los Angeles, California to attend Loyola Marymount University. I found a passion for learning about the anatomy and biomechanics of the human body, and decided to pursue a career in Physical Therapy. I attended Columbia University in New York City, and after graduation I moved to San Diego to begin my career as a physical therapist.

I started my path to pelvic health at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, where I spearheaded the Pediatric Pelvic Floor program in conjunction with the Urology department. When I moved to Los Angeles, I was able to mentor as a pelvic health physical therapist under Kathryn Kassai at Praxis Physical Therapy. From there, I had the opportunity to work at a women’s health clinic in Brentwood, seeing primarily pregnant, postpartum and menopausal women for various pelvic floor issues, including urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. I also worked at another clinic in El Segundo that specialized in pelvic floor disorders with a focus on constipation and fecal incontinence.

I began providing virtual services as a Pelvic Health Specialist for a digital health tech company where I was provided coaching and support to the pregnant and postpartum community nation wide through virtual sessions. I also had the opportunity to serve as an Ab Rehab Coach for Birth Recovery Center, a health & wellness company where I provide coaching and support to the postpartum community. Currently, I teach the Pelvic Health class through BabyLiveAdvice, a virtual prenatal and postpartum support platform.

When I moved back to O`ahu in 2023, I was able to serve the island community at a local outpatient physical therapy clinic in Central O`ahu. I decided to start Lotus so that I could provide in home services for my clients so that I can tailor to their specific needs, without the hassle of dealing with the barriers of health insurance, waitlists and limited appointment times. With my background in providing virtual services, I also decided to provide wellness coaching for the pregnant and postpartum population for those residing outside of Hawai’i.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my 1 year old son, my amazing husband, and staying active through running, golfing, and surfing.
