Unlock the Confidence & Strength in Your Body Again
Rebuild Your Core and Pelvic Floor with Self-Paced Programs and Expert Guidance for Women
AS FEATURED IN:
Your body has the power to heal and transform. I’m here to help you unlock that potential and embrace the life you deserve.
Hi, I’m Dr. Dawn Andalon! I’m a physical therapist, Pilates instructor, and pelvic floor specialist, but more importantly, I’m someone who’s deeply passionate about helping women feel strong, confident, and in control of their bodies.
Before co-founding LEVEL4 PT & Pilates in San Diego, I worked for Nike WHQ with the athletic population using my fitness and physical therapy background to help active people get back to their chosen sport. As a former dancer and gymnast, I’ve always loved movement, and I bring that passion into everything I do—whether it’s helping a new mom recover after childbirth or empowering a woman in her 50s to feel amazing in her own skin.
Over the years, I’ve authored three books, hosted the Women’s Health Happy Hour podcast, serve as a medical advisor to a national women's fitness company and created a YouTube channel that’s helped over 15,000 women reconnect with their strength and wellness. My mission is simple: to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be—whether that’s rebuilding your body from pregnancy to post-menopause, overcoming pelvic floor issues, or simply moving through life without pain or worry.
You deserve to feel incredible in your body as a woman, and I’d love to help you get there!
Feeling strong, pain-free, and confident in your body is something every woman deserves. If you’ve been struggling with discomfort, frustration, or a sense of disconnection, know that healing is possible. I’m here to help you take the first steps toward feeling like yourself again—starting today.

Here's what our clients say about Dr. Dawn
Real reviews from some of our happy clients
Taylor U. - San Francisco, CA
I am so glad I found Dr. Dawn! I am a retired ballet dancer and mom of 2 and have had back pain on and off for over 10 years. Before having kids, I saw many very reputable physical therapists who helped a little bit but when the few exercises they gave me didn't solve my problem, they didn't have any other solutions and tried to pass me off to someone else. I was reluctant to try something else and thought I had tried every back exercise out there but within the first few weeks of working with Dawn, my back felt stronger than it has in years.
Ashley V. - Murrieta, CA
I've been struggling with my belly after I had my child (over 4 years ago). My doctors told me that is where I carried my fat and to get over it or have a tummy tuck. After seeking advice through the best Facebook group out there another member, I connected with Dr. Dawn’s course and it was worth it. She gave me hope that my belly wasn't just fat but I had Diastasis Recti (ab separation) and a weak pelvic floor.
Marissa K - Carlsbad, CA
Dr. Dawn has been a lifesaver for me post-partum! I worked with Dr. Dawn after having my third and fourth children to correct diastasis recti, strengthen my pelvic floor, and strengthen my core overall. Dr. Dawn also did a great job helping to restore strength in other areas of my body (LOTS of butt strengthening!) for eventually running post-partum. I am quite sure that my post-partum recovery after baby #4 was much quicker/less severe diastasis because I had already been working with Dr. Dawn from the prior pregnancy. I highly recommend her for new moms who are looking for a full recovery post-partum and want to feel like themselves again!
You don’t have to live with discomfort or frustration. Together, we’ll create a path to healing and vitality.
