Frequently Asked Questions

  • Florida is a direct access state, so most patients can start care without a referral. However, we recommend getting a referral for Occupational Therapy Pelvic Health to promote continuity of care, and we will inform your healthcare provider of your plan of care.

  • Thriving Vessel does not have a relationship with insurance companies and services are covered with out-of-network benefits. In this way, we ensure the highest quality of care with unrestricted access to treatment. If you choose to submit a superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement, we can provide this document for most insurances. We cannot guarantee reimbursement, as this is determined by your insurance company.

  • Getting started is simple. Schedule your appointment and complete the forms or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • During your session, you can expect:

    • Gentle, consent‑based therapeutic touch

    • A calm, grounded atmosphere

    • Clear communication and collaborative pacing

    • Techniques tailored to your body’s needs

    • Space to reconnect with your sense of safety and ease

  • An internal exam is always optional and never required for you to become a patient or make progress. We’ll explain your options and only proceed with what feels right for you.
