Turning “You Can’t” Into “Watch Me”: The Rise of One Strong Woman Therapy | Allison Germundson
When life told her “this is your new normal,” Allison Germundson refused to listen. A trained occupational therapist with a passion for women’s health, Allison founded One Strong Woman Therapy after facing her own postpartum challenges and feeling dismissed by traditional medical providers. From her hospital bed after giving birth to her son, she decided she would be the change—launching her business in 2022 while raising two small children.
Allison began with mobile pelvic floor therapy, bringing care directly into women’s homes to create a sense of safety and comfort. As demand grew, she expanded to a thriving 4,500-square-foot clinic with ten therapists and a full admin team. Her mission: to help women “wet their plants, not their pants” and reclaim their confidence and pleasure.
Alongside her clinical work, Allison has grown as a CEO—learning to track metrics, understand profit margins, and manage cash flow with clarity. That financial insight has allowed her to scale sustainably and focus on impact. Now, through her new online membership “Turned On Again,” she’s empowering women everywhere to reconnect with their bodies, their partners, and themselves.
Her story is one of resilience, rebellion, and redefining what it means to heal—from the inside out.

From Healthcare Employee to Women’s Health Entrepreneur
Pam Jordan (Host):
“What did you want to be when you grew up?”
Allison Germundson (Guest):
“I always knew I wanted to be in healthcare and to take care of people. After earning my master’s in occupational therapy, I worked in big hospital systems—but I started feeling boxed in. When I had my daughter, I experienced postpartum issues that doctors brushed off as ‘normal.’ That’s when I knew something had to change.”
Creating One Strong Woman Therapy
Allison describes the moment everything shifted:
“Lying in a hospital bed after giving birth to my son, I decided I would open my own women’s health practice. In 2022, One Strong Woman Therapy was born.”
She began by offering mobile pelvic floor therapy—bringing treatment directly into women’s homes to create a sense of safety and comfort. As word spread, demand exploded. By 2023, she had opened a 4,500-square-foot clinic, now home to a team of therapists and admin staff dedicated to helping women reclaim their confidence and control over their bodies.
Turning Pain Into Purpose
Allison’s clinic helps women with pelvic floor challenges, from incontinence to painful intimacy.
“We help women wet their plants, not their pants—and get the orgasms they deserve!” she says with a laugh.
But the heart of her mission runs deeper. Allison emphasizes that pelvic floor therapy isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and psychological, too. Stress, trauma, and hormonal changes all play a role in women’s health, and addressing those layers is key to true healing.
From Chaos to Clarity: Learning the Business Side
Like many healthcare professionals turned entrepreneurs, Allison admits she didn’t learn about business ownership in school.
“There was no course on how to run a business,” she laughs.
Her early financial struggles—especially with delayed insurance payments—taught her the importance of tracking data and understanding cash flow.
“Once I learned to read my KPIs and know what money was coming in and out, it changed everything,” she says.
Now, Allison monitors sessions booked, revenue per therapist, and profit margins weekly—empowering her to make data-driven decisions and lead her team with confidence.
Expanding the Mission: Turned On Again
Beyond the clinic, Allison recently launched Turned On Again, a 12-month online membership designed to help women everywhere rediscover intimacy, understand their bodies, and communicate with their partners.
“It’s a safe space to learn about sexual wellness, hormones, and confidence,” she explains. “Women deserve to feel turned on by life again.”
