Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just what happens during your session. There are 168 hours in the week, and you’re going to tell me that you need the session to get better??? Yes, sessions are helpful, but it’s more about what actually carries into your day-to-day between sessions.

Because if nothing changes between sessions… nothing really changes.

And if you’re not willing to take ownership and put in the work between sessions, you end up reliant on your physical therapist…

This is something I think a lot of women don’t realize until they experience it… Pelvic floor therapy isn’t about how often you come in. Because your body isn’t changing from one session. That’s why I don’t rely on frequent visits. My focus is helping you understand your body, giving you a full-body plan through any life stage, and supporting you between sessions so you’re not left doing it alone with a generic app. DM “CONFIDENCE” to learn how you can work 1:1 with me in Lincoln Park, Chicago, or head to the link in bio to get started!

This doesn’t mean you’re doomed if you didn’t work on this stuff in your pregnancy! It is NEVER too late to start. It’s just that women who take a proactive approach through their pregnancy tend to set themselves up for a better postpartum recovery :)

Most women are told to either go to PT once a week with no real guidance between sessions… or buy a generic online program and do it alone.

I created because active women deserve something better.

My clinic is built for active women through TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond who want 1:1 care that actually helps them lift, train, and run without pelvic symptoms holding them back.

That means: in-person sessions when needed, structured pelvic floor rehab + full-body strength programming, and ongoing guidance between sessions so you’re never left guessing.

I work with women in Lincoln Park, Chicago, through my hybrid model, and I also support some women 100% online.

So whether your goal is to prepare for pregnancy, stay strong during pregnancy, return to lifting postpartum, or finally address pelvic symptoms that keep showing up when you train, there’s a path for you here.

And no you won’t look “bulky”!!! A toned look comes from two things:

Building muscle.
Lower body fat.

That means strength training with progressive overload, and eating in a way that supports your goal. Intensity feels productive, but structure creates results.

Save for your reminder!!

The goal isn’t to skip impact forever, it’s to retrain it intentionally. Here’s what that can look like 👇

Sample Plyometric Progression:

1️⃣ Heel raises → mini hops (train your landing mechanics)

2️⃣ Step-offs from a low box (absorb gentle impact)

3️⃣ Forward bounds or skater hops (add direction + control)

4️⃣ Small tuck or pogo jumps (build rhythm and endurance)

5️⃣ Jump squats or box jumps (high-impact strength + confidence)

Focus on:

- Exhaling on impact
- Quiet, controlled landings
- Gradually building intensity

Progressive loading teaches your core and pelvic floor to work together again so you can move, lift, and live confidently.

A lot of women are told they’re “fine” because they don’t feel symptoms during daily life.

No leaking.
No pressure.
No pain when you’re walking around the house or sitting at work.

But then the moment you try to run, lift, jump, or get back to the workouts you love… something feels off.

Most pelvic floor care stops once symptoms calm down. But confidence in your body comes from being able to move, lift, and live your life without second-guessing it.

That’s the gap I help women close at

If you’re in your TTC, pregnancy, or postpartum era and want to feel strong and confident during activity, not just symptom-free at rest, send me a DM with the word “CONFIDENCE” and I’ll help you get started.

Not all pelvic floor therapy is the same.

Some models focus on short appointments and symptom relief. My approach focuses on helping women become strong and capable again.

That means:
• pelvic floor therapy combined with health and fitness coaching
• Guidance between sessions
• Accountability to help you stay on track
• Flexibility to do work from home

Because being symptom-free while sitting on the couch isn’t the same as being symptom-free when you run, lift, or train.

The women who thrive in my program want to stay active through their TTC, pregnancy, and postpartum seasons.

I work with women locally in Lincoln Park, Chicago. If you want pelvic floor therapy that helps you feel confident in your body again, send me a DM with CONFIDENCE and we’ll talk.

Most women are told to “take it easy” during pregnancy. Kristina did the opposite.

Instead of avoiding movement or waiting until something hurt, she worked with me throughout her pregnancy by incorporating pelvic floor therapy with strength training.

We focused on:
• Building strength as her body changed
• Coordinating her pelvic floor with her core and breath
• Managing pressure during lifting and daily movement
• Addressing aches and pains early instead of reacting later
• Preparing her body for the demands of birth and recovery

This isn’t traditional pelvic floor therapy where you show up, lie on a table, do a few exercises, and wait for the next appointment.

Kristina got pelvic floor therapy, individualized strength programming, and coaching between sessions so her plan could evolve as her pregnancy progressed.

And we did all of it 100% online.

Her faster labor, smoother recovery, and confidence during pregnancy weren’t luck. They were the result of consistent training and personalized pelvic health care.

Pregnancy doesn’t have to mean feeling limited in your body.

Diastasis during pregnancy does not mean you need to stop exercising.

What matters is how you load it. When pressure isn’t managed well, you might notice:

• Coning or doming
• Breath holding
• Bearing down
• A feeling of strain or heaviness

First, adjust your setup:

• Stack ribs over pelvis
• Gently exhale during effort (think “blow out birthday candles”)
• Move with control instead of rushing

If you can reduce coning with better alignment and breath, keep going. But if you’re still seeing significant doming despite proper engagement, modify the movement.

That might mean:

• Reducing load
• Shortening the range of motion
• Slowing the tempo
• Swapping to a less demanding variation

Example:
Instead of full sit-ups → try supported dead bugs.
Instead of planks → bear hold.

You don’t have to stop training. You just train at the level your body can manage well.
