Our
company ethos

Sarah Glesmann, PT, DPT is a pelvic health physical therapist and the founder of Sakura Pelvic Health in St. Paul, MN. With over 20 years of experience, she specializes in pregnancy and postpartum care, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual health concerns, and the physical transitions of perimenopause and menopause.

Early in her career, Sarah worked in specialized pelvic health clinics in New York City alongside faculty members from the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, an experience that deeply shaped her clinical foundation. She went on to continue her professional growth at the University of Pittsburgh, where she joined the pelvic health team, mentored physical therapy residents, and lectured medical students on the role and benefits of pelvic floor therapy.

Sarah’s work has also extended internationally. She has taught pelvic health concepts to physical therapists in Japan and provided education to midwives in Eritrea through the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), focusing on pelvic muscle training following fistula repair surgeries.

The name “Sakura” reflects Sarah’s six years living in Japan, where she fell in love with the cherry blossoms—sakura in Japanese—and where her dream of opening her own clinic truly took shape. She created Sakura Pelvic Health to be a calm, welcoming space where clients receive one-on-one, full-hour sessions that allow time to fully understand their story. Sarah’s goal has always been to provide meaningful, hands-on care that empowers clients, honors their experiences, and supports their goals for the future.
