Below, we’ve gathered recent media coverage and podcast features so you can learn more about our story, the women we serve, and the mission that fuels everything we do at Revive.
1. The San Diego Union-Tribune – "Business Spotlight"
In this 2021 Business Spotlight, written when our practice was still called LEVEL4 PT & Wellness, the Union-Tribune profiled Dr. Dawn and Dr. Oscar Andalon and the Encinitas practice they built. The article noted we were one of the few practices in North County San Diego with pelvic floor specialists, and quoted Dr. Dawn on our approach: "We're all about helping women avoid unnecessary surgeries and painkillers and keeping women active and strong for the rest of their lives."
2. Podcast Interview with Lisa Druxman – The Empowered Mama Podcast (Fit4Mom)
Dr. Dawn Andalon was invited by Lisa Druxman, founder of Fit4Mom, to share her expertise on The Empowered Mama Podcast. In this inspiring conversation, Dawn opened up about the challenges women face during postpartum recovery, the importance of reconnecting with their bodies, and the role Pilates and pelvic floor therapy play in healing.
Listeners walked away with practical tips for navigating motherhood, preventing injuries, and balancing self-care while raising a family.
3. Guest Expert – Shine Natural Medicine Podcast
On the Shine Natural Medicine Podcast, Dawn spoke about the often-overlooked issues women face in midlife, including pelvic organ prolapse, painful intimacy, incontinence, and back pain. She shared how movement-based therapy and education can empower women to restore strength and confidence at every stage of life.
The episode emphasizes that women don’t have to settle for “this is just part of aging”—there are real, natural solutions that work.
4. Featured Guest with Dr. Kelly Barron – The KellFire Podcast
In this powerful interview with Dr. Kelly Barron, Dawn shared her personal journey and professional mission to change the way women experience healthcare in midlife and beyond. She uncovers the often-overlooked importance of pelvic floor health for women at every stage of life—from teenage years to menopause and beyond.
What the pelvic floor actually is (and why it matters)
Why incontinence is common—but never normal
How myths around aging and pelvic floor weakness hold women back
Simple changes that can prevent or reverse symptoms without surgery
Why it’s time to ditch outdated advice (and why Kegels aren’t the full solution)
Dr. Dawn shares expert advice on strength, recovery, sexual health, and the powerful mind-body connection that starts from the core. If you care about aging strong, living confidently, and breaking taboos around women’s health—this one’s for you.The conversation focused on breaking the stigma around pelvic health, the emotional impact of feeling dismissed by traditional medicine, and how Revive PT & Pilates is rewriting the narrative for women.
Why This Matters: It’s Time Women Over 40 Were Heard and Helped
For decades, the medical system has often dismissed women’s concerns—especially around “embarrassing” issues like bladder leaks or painful intimacy. But that’s changing, and Revive PT & Pilates is proud to be part of this movement.
Our features in respected publications and podcasts aren’t just recognition of our work—they’re proof that women’s stories deserve to be told, and that healing is possible when care is personalized, compassionate, and grounded in science.
