About Fearless Physiotherapy
I’m happy you’re here!
Hi! I’m Dr. Jackie Dooyema and I have over a decade of experience in pelvic PT. I earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of Sioux Falls and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of South Dakota. I have pelvic health training through the Institute of Advanced Musculoskeletal Treatments. I also completed a 2-year rigorous training in Obstetrics Physical Therapy through the American Physical Therapy Association, where I earned a Certificate of Advanced Practice in Physical Therapy in Obstetric Health (CAPP-OB). I am the region’s only Obstetrics specialist with this level of training and only 1 of about 300 PTs in the United States to hold this certification. I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula from Childbirth Professionals International.
Prior to founding Fearless Physiotherapy, I was the Clinic Director of an outpatient pelvic specialty clinic in Nashville, TN. When we returned to South Dakota in 2022, my family claimed I gained a southern accent, but what I really came away with was a desire to care for pregnant and postpartum women. I am passionate about redefining women’s health, and I desire to bridge the gap in care and advocate, educate, and strengthen prenatal and postpartum women to help them achieve their highest activity potential. As a mother of three, I understand the fears during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum recovery. Instead of “hoping for the best” or “just giving it time”, let’s fix the root cause so you can get back to doing what you love!
Outside of working with amazing mamas, my husband and I I enjoy raising our 2 children we’ve been blessed with on this Earth. We’re foodies and love all of the many unique restaurants around Sioux Falls. My family lives and breathes sports so that’s often where you’ll find us. I enjoy baking, biking, strength training, and gardening. I’m also an active member of my local church.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
My Journey to Founding Fearless Physiotherapy
My path to becoming a pelvic physical therapist specializing in pregnancy and postpartum care is deeply personal. In 2021, my world shifted when our first daughter, Hannah Violet, was called to heaven before her birth. In my grief, I found solace in Psalm 34:4: "I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears." This verse became the cornerstone of Fearless Physiotherapy.
I founded Fearless PT to extend God's love and empower women through their most vulnerable moments. My own journey, marked by both profound loss and the miracle of new life with my 2 children here on Earth, has given me a unique understanding of the fears that can arise during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
Fearless Physiotherapy’s mission is to advocate, educate, strengthen, and support moms. I'm dedicated to building confidence and helping overcome fears, transforming them into strength. I would be honored to work with you!
