From Nike to Niche: How Dr. Dawn Andalon Built a Women’s Health Powerhouse in PT & Pilates

From treating athletes at Nike HQ to co-founding one of Southern California’s most trusted women’s health clinics, Dr. Dawn Andalon’s journey is anything but ordinary.

In this episode of the PT Pintcast 6-Pack, we sit down with Dr. Dawn Andalon, a physical therapist, author, speaker, and entrepreneur behind LEVEL4 PT & Pilates. Dawn shares how she went from clinician to CEO, building a brand rooted in evidence-based care, Pilates integration, pelvic health, and women’s empowerment.

We unpack her transition from treating elite athletes to focusing on postpartum and peri/menopausal care, how she scaled her private practice in a competitive market, and the real-life challenges of building a business while raising a family.

This conversation is packed with insights for PTs who are ready to niche down, expand their impact, or build a purpose-driven brand from scratch.
