Your symptoms are not in your head. 🔥

For too long, women have been told their pain is normal. That their exhaustion is just stress. That their cycles are "just hormones."

Enough.

I sat down with Kiran Mckay from to break the silence and stigma around women's health.

We got into:

→ Why so many women are misdiagnosed (and gaslit by the very system meant to help them)

→ What your hormonal cycles are actually telling you

→ The truth about perimenopause that nobody talks about

Here's what I need you to hear:

Your symptoms may be common. But they are NOT normal.

Don't accept them. Decode them.

That's exactly why I built Pelvia — a community where women stop guessing and start getting real, actionable answers about their health.

🎙️ JUST DROPPED: Pelvic Health 101!
Ever been told that leaking while laughing is normal after kids? Or that pelvic pain is just part of being a woman? 👀 Let’s set the record straight.

I had the absolute pleasure of joining on the Neha Jog Podcast to talk about all things pelvic health—from the basics everyone should know, to the myths that need to go. As a pelvic health physiotherapist with years of clinical experience, I’m passionate about giving women the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of their bodies.

We cover:
✨ What your pelvic floor really does
🚫 Common myths that are quietly harming women’s health
✔️ Practical tips you can start using today
💬 And the most surprising thing I’ve learned from treating hundreds of women

Whether you're postpartum, perimenopausal, menopausal, have experienced symptoms, or just pelvic-curious—this episode is for you.

Vaginismus [Vag-uh-nis-mus], is a condition that affects 12-21 % of individuals in North America alone and many more worldwide. Also known as "Genito Pelvic Pain pe*******on disorder".This condition has many silent sufferers. It is often uncomfortable and embarrassing for people to discuss, which adds to a lack of education and awareness about treatment.

September 15th is Vaginismus Awareness Day.
Let us break the taboo and start having a conversation about this very treatable condition.
