Our Team
Dr. Holly Hernandez, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Holly received her doctorate of physical therapy from UT Health San Antonio and has spent countless hours expanding her knowledge through continuing education focusing on pelvic floor rehabilitation, treatment of the pregnant and postpartum client, myofascial release, kinesiotaping, dry needling, and treatment of pediatric clients. She has had the pleasure of receiving mentorship from many influential providers in this field. Holly is always striving to continue learning and diving deeper into her practice.
After having her first child and realizing the gap in education and care for women and pelvic floor rehabilitation, she knew she had a calling toward pelvic floor therapy. Following the birth of her son she struggled with her own pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and instability that left her unable to continue to do the active things she once enjoyed and feeling confused as to where to turn, even as a physical therapist. Through her own journey and experience she has found passion and fulfillment through empowering her clients and guiding people through their own unique journey of healing.
Holly is a wife to her sweet husband, Aaron, a mom to 2 wonderful boys, Zeph and Teo, and enjoys spending time outside, hiking, camping, and playing tennis.

Dr. Bridget Abraham, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Dr. Bridget received her Bachelor of Science in Health from Texas A&M University; followed by her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at The University of Texas Medical Branch. Bridget’s interest in pelvic floor PT began in undergrad when she enrolled in Women’s Health and Human Sexuality specialty courses. She recognized the lack of education, research, and expertise in a vast majority of women-specific healthcare. There, she began her path to break the stigma of open and honest conversations about sexual health/education. Her mission as a physical therapist is to treat patients as a whole and facilitate their self-efficacy, understanding, and control.
Dr. Bridget has clinical experience in outpatient/sports orthopedic PT, and acute care/inpatient PT.
She has completed advanced post-professional training in pelvic floor physical therapy & is Pelvic Floor 1 certified by the APTA’s Academy of Pelvic Health.
Bridget is passionate about people and strives to create a space of refuge & healing for her patients. In her free time, she enjoys getting coffee with friends, spending time in the sun, & maybe singing a few songs at karaoke with the gals.
Lisa Candland
Pilates Instructor
Prior to raising three children, Lisa received a BA in Political Science from Brigham Young University and a MA in International Relations from George Washington University. Three pregnancies (and 3 C-sections) and the physical demands of motherhood introduced her to the issues of pelvic pain, weakness and instability. Traditional physical therapy and medical care did not offer improvement or understanding. Finally, someone suggested pelvic floor therapy which provided a plan that brought relief but also deepened her curiosity and interest regarding the physical issues of pelvic health, hyper-mobility, anatomy and biomechanics.
In response to her questions, Lisa pursued and obtained a 500-hour, advanced, comprehensive certification from Lifetime/Peak Pilates, which she completed in 2019 and sat for the NCPT exam, which she passed in 2021.
Lisa loves working at Lotus because she has the opportunity to meet the wonderful patients and support the therapists in their pursuit of improving women’s lives. She is fascinated by the work that goes on in the clinic and encouraged by the culture of support and healing.
Lisa loves the practice of pilates not just for its many physical benefits but because of the mind-body aspect and the endless potential for growth and improvement. She finds the technicality and precision to be both challenging and exciting. Above all, when she is practicing and teaching she has fun!
Lisa is married with three children in college. She loves to ski, hike, cook and visit her children.
