Meet Dr. Shazida Sarwar, OTD, OTR/L

A woman in a brown medical uniform standing in a medical office or clinic. She is smiling and leaning against a white counter with a room filled with medical and educational materials and framed anatomy diagrams on the wall behind her.

Hi! I’m Dr. Shazzy!

I am an occupational therapist who specializes in pelvic floor therapy and pediatric occupational therapy. Supporting women and children has always been at the heart of my work — it’s the reason I fell in love with rehab science in the first place.

My clinical approach blends evidence-based care, empowerment, and advocacy, rooted in the belief that every person deserves to feel safe and at home in their body.

I was born in Brooklyn, raised between Delaware and Philly (go Eagles!), and eventually made my way south to sunny Tampa, where I proudly serve my community through Nurturing Beginnings Therapy.

You will always find me with a good book, avidly searching for the best flight deals for my next trip, or testing out my next recipe for my non-existent cookbook!

Whether I am treating pelvic pain, helping tiny humans thrive in big ways, my mission is the same: to meet every client with compassion, individualized care, and the belief that healing is possible at every stage of life.
