Owner & Physical Therapist

Kelsey Beach, DPT, CMTPT


Hi! I am Kelsey Beach, owner of enCORE Therapy & Performance. I started my journey with physical therapy in 2011 after earning my doctorate of Physical Therapy from Southwest Baptist University and jumping head first into pelvic health rehab. I knew it was the special niche of PT I wanted to put my efforts into. In 2014 I completed my first triathlon – I was in love. Slowly my passion for pelvic health rehab wove itself into running mechanics and functional mobility for athletics. I stopped looking not only at myself and my patients as single symptom cases, but whole body connections and breaking down how the joint affected the center of movement: the core.

Then in 2020, I experienced my first pregnancy. I was blown away by the lack of education pregnant women received about the physical changes their bodies went through during pregnancy. Also the lack of education on how to use your body to prepare your body for your ideal birth experience. I came to slowly put all the pieces of the puzzle together of pelvic rehab, functional mobility and pregnancy - then enCORE was born.

Physical Therapist

Kellie Lawton, DPT, OCS, COMT


Kellie Lawton, PT, DPT completed her Doctorate in Illinois, at Governors State University, and has been working since 2012 to provide better individualized health care and global health awareness. She wants women struggling with injuries, pain, or chronic conditions to be validated and supported. She has extensive experience in the outpatient world and is a board-certified specialist in orthopedics.

Following her own pregnancy and postpartum journey she fell into the false narrative that postpartum mothers just had to tolerate all the physical changes that commonly go along with motherhood. She was disappointed that pelvic floor physical therapy was not talked about more in those early postpartum phases. It was later in her journey that difficult health challenges forced her to consider and appreciate the role of pelvic health in total body function and healing.

Kellie is excited to support women and advocate for individualized care. Her evaluation process is designed to get to the root cause of your pain and limitations. She strives to help women achieve long lasting strategies that promote resiliency and comprehensive health and wellness.

Physical Therapist

Courtney Steiner, DPT, OCS


Courtney began her career as a Doctor of PT at Johns Hopkins in 2016. There, Courtney was able to not only get a high level training and mentorship in the world of orthopedic physical therapy, but she also began delving into extensive education and mentorship in the world of pelvic health.

Since moving back to Kansas in 2019, Courtney has been able to further her training and experience in the world of pelvic health. Nothing has taught her more about this than becoming a mama in 2021. If she wasn’t convinced before, she is now all the more amazed at what women can accomplish.

Courtney’s mission is to meet each and every person where they are, walk alongside them in their recovery, and create a foundation of knowledge and a plan that they can use in an approachable and functional way throughout their lifetime. Courtney hopes that you leave each session empowered, comforted, and having learned something new. We all deserve care and attention to our pelvic health, no many how many months or years postpartum you may be.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • "Absolutely loved my experience with enCORE Therapy.

    After having 2 kids, I had forgot how to use my core properly to avoid back and pelvic floor pain. Let’s just say I was a mess. After about 6 weeks of working with Kelsey and Kellie I was feeling so much better! These women are super knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional. I had the best experience with results and I am so excited to come back again when it’s time to birth prep for my next natural home birth!?”

  • "I have personally LOVED working with Kellie at enCORE!

    I was referred to enCORE about 8 weeks postpartum with some issues I was experiencing. Kellie’s holistic care for me has been such a great experience — she makes you feel comfortable, she is a great listener, she is up to date on the latest research and interventions, she offers creative strategies and solutions, and she is just such a kind person. I have made so much progress in the few months I’ve been seeing her and she’s helped me feel myself again!”

  • "enCORE is seriously INCREDIBLE.

    I have been a patient of hers for the last 3 years. She has worked with me on pelvic pain as well as postpartum recovery. She is supportive, knowledgable, encouraging—everything you want in a provider. She is easy to talk to and makes sure you're comfortable and understand everything she's doing. I am so thankful for her and HIGHLY recommend her!”

  • "I love Dr. Renee!

    I've only had one session but we have been communicating via text since my appointment. She has given me tools and ease during my time with her and I'm excited to work with her! Speaking from personal experience enCORE doesn't just have to be for moms. I am not a mom but have a significant amount of pelvic pain and they've met me where I am at.”

  • "Go NOW!!!

    That is the advice I wish someone would have given me the moment I started experiencing pain as a result of having three beautiful children. I believe that because she is a mother herself she absolutely can identify with the journey back to pelvic floor health. Thank you enCORE because of you I can jump on a trampoline with my children, I can work out without fear of injury and I can enjoy adult time again!!!!”

  • "I'm so thankful for enCORE Therapy!

    As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect going into labor. Kelsey was able to give me a set of tools that was invaluable during the birthing process. I went into labor with so much more confidence and knew what to ask for during the wild experience that labor is. Even my husband felt better equipped to support me. Kelsey was so kind and supportive in everything she shared and I truly feel that I had a better birthing experience due to the work I put in with Encore Therapy. I would recommend them to all first time moms!”

  • "I have received excellent care/concern/empathy from Kellie.

    I have been treated during pregnancy and postpartum. Kellie has treated my whole being! The mental challenges that impeded my healing process were handled with care and wisdom. Physically, I hate to imagine the pain I would have continued to endure if it wasn’t for her treatments. I felt prepared going into labor and delivery. They were HUGE advocates on my side when some postpartum complications arose that my midwife struggled to assess. And helped me get connected with a specialized OB and immunologist.”

  • "Courtney was amazing to work with!

    She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in what can sometimes be an uncomfortable topic. She gives you practical tools to use in every day movements and to help with specific issues. Highly recommend Courtney and the enCORE team!”

  • "I had the privilege of working with both Kelsey and Kellie during the pregnancy of my second babe and afterwards.

    EVERY WOMAN needs this care and education BEFORE they give birth and after, its not just for those who have been suffering. You NEED THIS. Kelsey and Kellie will listen to you, they will care for you and its everything you didn't know you truly, truly needed. I'm a crossfitter who had been having issues (even before babies) with my form and Kellie helped me become aware of dysfunctional movement patterns that no coach had ever been able to identify. Make room in your budget, its the best money you'll spend.”

  • "So grateful that my midwife recommended Kelsey to me before I had my third baby.

    She helped me get prepared for my home birth and it was a true success story! I really believe that her services played a key role in the ease of my birth this time around! Kelsey is a great educator and easy to talk to - she helps you better understand your body and is so understanding of the mom life because she is a mom herself! I’ve already recommended many of my mom friends to enCORE Therapy because I had such a great experience.”

  • "I am so amazed at how much I've learned in just 2 sessions!

    Kellie is phenomenal and makes the sessions comfortable and informative. I have experienced such an improvement already in some of the pains and symptoms I've been having. This place is a gem!”

  • "Kelsey really cares about the patient experience.

    Super knowledgeable and able to navigate in-the-moment dissociation from a compassionate perspective which apparently is the key to my entire issue. The way she showed my negative feedback loop between body and mind is so clearly the root cause and her efforts to disrupt it show an understanding that I've never had in another provider.”
