I’m LJ Brooks, Doctor of Physical Therapy, pelvic health specialist, ProNatal Fitness Professional, and founder of 4Life Healthcare. With over 24 years of clinical experience, I help women navigate pregnancy, prepare for birth, recover after delivery, and return to exercise with expert guidance and a personalized plan.

I created my prenatal-to-postpartum approach because I believe women deserve more than fragmented care, generic exercise programs, or being told to wait until something hurts before seeking help. Pregnancy and postpartum recovery are significant physical transitions that deserve proactive, specialized support.

My approach integrates pelvic health physical therapy, movement assessment, progressive strength training, birth preparation, core and pelvic floor recovery, and return-to-fitness programming. I look beyond symptoms to understand your goals, lifestyle, movement patterns, and the physical demands of motherhood.

Whether you want to stay strong during pregnancy, prepare your body for birth, address pelvic pain or leakage, recover from a vaginal or cesarean delivery, or confidently return to running, lifting, and fitness, I provide a clear pathway forward.

My goal is to become a trusted partner throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey—helping you understand your body, make informed decisions, build lasting strength, and move into motherhood feeling capable, supported, and confident.
