Los Angeles has a way of minting wellness trends that sell candles before they solve problems. Origin came out different. Founded in 2020, built by Carine Carmy, Nona Farahnik Yadegar, and David Yadegar, this company did not start with branding. It started with pain. Real pain. Nearly a decade of it for Carine Carmy, postpartum dysfunction for Nona Farahnik Yadegar, and a shared realization that pelvic floor physical therapy works, but the system makes damn sure most women never reach it.
That realization turned into a national build. Origin partnered early with the clinical team at Bebé Physical Therapy in Los Angeles, a practice quietly doing elite pelvic care since 2007, and scaled it into the largest in person pelvic floor clinic network in the country. Nineteen clinics across eight states. Virtual care in all fifty. Forty five minute one on one sessions. Insurance first, not last. Ninety five percent in network. Most patients paying under thirty six dollars instead of the usual two to three hundred. That is not wellness theater. That is infrastructure.
On January 28, 2026, Origin announced a Series B round led by SJF Ventures, with participation from Blue Venture Fund, Gratitude Railroad, and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank. The number stayed private. The intent did not. This capital backs a system already treating more than fifty thousand patients, with nine out of ten reporting symptom improvement and virtual care doubling year over year. Ten thousand physicians now refer into Origin, up from fifteen hundred just a year ago. That kind of adoption does not come from hype. It comes from outcomes.
Under the hood, Origin is not guessing. Its clinical platform runs on proprietary data from thirty nine million de identified patient interactions. Athena supports clinician decision making. GinaGPT keeps patients engaged between visits. The Origin Way app extends care beyond the clinic walls. All of it built to support licensed therapists, not replace them. The point is trust, not automation cosplay.
SJF Ventures saw a sixty one billion dollar market shaped by forty one million women living with pelvic floor conditions and an eighty three percent diagnostic gap. Origin saw something more basic. Access. Speed. Dignity. Appointments in days instead of months. Care that spans pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, sexual dysfunction, and whole body musculoskeletal health without forcing patients to beg or self diagnose.
Carine Carmy talks about this like a builder, not a mascot. Nona Farahnik Yadegar talks about it like someone who lived the gap. David Yadegar keeps the machine running. Together they are scaling clinics, training clinicians through Origin University, and pushing outcomes research with partners like UCSF Health and The Woman’s Hospital of Texas.
This is not about making pelvic floor care trendy. It is about making it normal, affordable, and everywhere. Origin is living up to its name, not as a marketing flourish, but as a starting point for how women’s healthcare could finally be built if the system stopped pretending the problem was invisible.
