Session sneak-peak:
All parts of our bodies are amazingly designed - including our pelvic floors. The pelvic floor is a small but mighty set of muscles at the bottom of your pelvis. And those muscles play many roles: they keep you dry, they support your pelvic organs, they have a role in s*xual function, they play a part in childbirth, they are part of a strong core, they support your overall health and vitality, and more.
Even though the pelvic floor is such a key part of women's health and wellness, many women are not familiar with that part of their bodies. They do not know how to connect, and they live with leaking, pain, weakness, and other pelvic health problems. They may have even been told these symptoms are normal.
During this session, you will learn what the pelvic floor is and how it works. You will understand signs and symptoms that indicate that your pelvic floor may need to be checked. You will learn simple tips and tricks to keep your pelvic floor happy and healthy from youth to postmenopause. And most importantly, you will begin to reconnect to your body through a few simple exercises.
We will have some time for Q&A at the end - no question is off the table.
