Official Bio

Dr. Helene Darmanin, PT, DPT, CSCS is a licensed physical therapist, strength and conditioning specialist, Pilates and fitness instructor, and the creator of Quarantoned, a body-positive, virtual HIIT class. 

With over a decade of experience in the field of movement, Dr. Helene has facilitated the healing journeys of hundreds of clients with a range of musculoskeletal conditions. In her experience as both a patient and provider of pelvic health, especially maternal care, she has witnessed firsthand the lack of support given to women. This led her to specialize in pelvic physical therapy, especially treating pregnant and postpartum mothers. She focuses on empowering exercise and treatment to help clients to reconnect with and find pride in their bodies, improve birth outcomes, and take ownership over their health. 

Dr. Helene has worked in medical research and presented at national conferences. Her advice has been featured on podcasts such as Healthy, Wealthy & Smart and Mission Driven, in blogs including MyFitnessPal, and in peer-reviewed journals such as Motor Control. She presents workshops and webinars about fitness, pelvic health, and being guilt-free in your pursuit of wellness, including “7 Things Your Vagina Wants You to Know” and “Fit Beyond Fads.” Dr. Helene lives in the New York City area with her husband, one-year-old son, and rescued calico cat.
