Meet Krista Jenney

We recently connected with Krista Jenney and have shared our conversation below.

Krista, so great to be with you and I think a lot of folks are going to benefit from hearing your story and lessons and wisdom. Imposter Syndrome is something that we know how words to describe, but it’s something that has held people back forever and so we’re really interested to hear about your story and how you overcame imposter syndrome.

Overcoming imposter syndrome in my journey involved several key steps. Firstly, specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy during my schooling required rigorous training and a deep commitment to learning. This foundational knowledge was crucial, but imposter syndrome often crept in despite my preparation. Having mentors with over 15 years of experience in the field was invaluable. Their guidance and reassurance helped me navigate doubts and gain confidence in my abilities. Continuously challenging myself to learn and grow further solidified my expertise, gradually diminishing feelings of inadequacy. Ultimately, persistence, mentorship, and ongoing education were pivotal in overcoming imposter syndrome and thriving in my specialized field.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I am pelvic floor and women’s health physical therapist based in the Austin area. I’m passionate about providing personalized care for individuals navigating pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum changes, as well as urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. Issues like pelvic/back pain, incontinence/leakage, painful intercourse, scar pain, pelvic pressure/prolapse, GI issues, and abdominal separation may be common, but they aren’t normal. With the right tools and support, we can improve and even eliminate these issues!

I have a commitment to education and empowerment and offers free workshops to educate and support individuals through various stages of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Reflecting on my journey, three qualities that were most impactful are perseverance, self-motivation, and the willingness to step out of my comfort zone and network with other healthcare providers in the community. These qualities have been crucial in establishing my practice and building a strong reputation through word-of-mouth referrals. It’s important for those starting out to take these steps seriously:

Perseverance: Stay committed to your goals despite challenges. Keep learning and growing, even when faced with setbacks.

Self-Motivation: Take initiative in your professional development. Seek out opportunities for continuing education and skill enhancement.

Networking and Community Engagement: Don’t underestimate the power of networking. Getting to know other providers in your community can lead to valuable collaborations and referrals.

For those early in their journey, my advice is to prioritize continuing education and seek mentorship from experienced professionals. Don’t hesitate to put yourself out there and meet others in your field. Remember, being young or recently graduated doesn’t diminish your knowledge or skills—embrace your expertise and showcase it confidently.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I’m always open to partnering with providers such as midwives, doulas, acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, fitness/yoga instructors, and lactation consultants, among others. Whether it’s sharing knowledge over coffee or hosting workshops together, connecting and collaborating can enrich the services we provide to our clients. If you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out to me directly through my contact information or website. Let’s create meaningful partnerships that benefit our clients’ holistic health journeys.
