Dr. Katie Moise shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Katie, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I like to start my day with a big glass of water and electrolytes to hydrate, then take my dog on a long walk before the Atlanta heat kicks in. I usually listen to a favorite podcast or prep for my day while on the walk. Once we’re back, it’s a whirlwind of getting myself ready for work while also getting my daughter ready for school. There’s usually a few toddler negotiations, especially while potty training and lots of multitasking—but it’s our rhythm, and I am grateful to spend some time with her in the mornings.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Katie Simmons, a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of ATL Pelvic Health, a specialty clinic in Atlanta focused on helping people feel connected, confident, and strong in their bodies through every phase of life—from pregnancy and postpartum to menopause and beyond.
I started ATL Pelvic Health after seeing firsthand how often pelvic health concerns were overlooked or dismissed. Whether someone is navigating pain, pressure, or just not feeling “right” in their core or pelvic region, our goal is to provide the comprehensive, one-on-one care they deserve. Pelvic health plays a crucial role in how we move, how we feel, and how we function—especially when it comes to bladder, bowel, and sexual health.
We’re proud to offer a clinic experience that’s warm, private, and personalized—no rushed appointments or cookie-cutter plans here. Our team takes a whole-body approach and truly listens, making space for patients to be heard and supported in their healing.
Right now, we’re expanding our pregnancy and postpartum programs, growing our Pilates offerings, and continuing to build a community where people feel empowered to take charge of their pelvic health.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
My dad has taught me so much about work and work ethic. He’s always had an entrepreneurial spirit and pours a lot of hard work into his passions. Growing up, I watched him build something from the ground up—putting in long hours, navigating challenges, and staying incredibly committed to his vision. That mindset shaped how I approach my work and ultimately inspired me to start my own practice. Watching him growing up instilled in me the belief that if you’re passionate about what you do and willing to put in the effort, you can create something meaningful. That mindset has fueled me in building ATL Pelvic Health and continuing to grow a business rooted in purpose and care.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Absolutely. Growing a business is incredibly rewarding, but there have been moments when it felt really heavy—especially when it came to building and managing a team. One of the hardest seasons I’ve faced was having to make the difficult decision to let someone go. I remember wondering if I was cut out for leadership or if it would just be easier to go back to being a solopreneur.
The truth is, running a business comes with tough calls, constant learning, and moments of self-doubt. But every time I’ve questioned whether to keep going, I’ve come back to why I started ATL Pelvic Health—to create a space where people feel deeply supported in their healing and where I can do work that’s meaningful. That mission, along with the support of my community and team, always grounds me and reminds me it’s worth it—even on the hard days.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They’d probably say that I care deeply about showing up for people—especially when it matters most. Whether it’s celebrating a big win or being there during the hard stuff, I’m someone who values being present and dependable. I also think they’d say I’m big on authenticity. Staying true to my values, leading with honesty, and creating genuine connections are really important to me—in both my personal life and my work.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I would let go of worrying about what other people think and release the pressure to constantly people-please. It’s something I’ve worked on over the years, but I know how much energy it can drain—energy that could be spent more fully living, loving, and showing up as my authentic self. If I had only 10 years left, I’d want every decision to come from a place of alignment, not obligation, fear or guilt.
