✨ Coffee Walk & Talk ✨

Our next walk is coming up and I would absolutely love to see you there.

📅 Friday, May 22
🕛 Meet at 12:00 PM
📍 Brewtus Roasting

We’ll start at Brewtus and head out for a relaxed one-hour walk on the rail trail, then circle back for coffee, connection, and a little time to just be together.

This is open to everyone. Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and kids of all ages, from brand new babies to big kids.

Bring whatever works for you. Carriers, strollers, wagons, scooters, ride-ons. Come exactly as you are. Move at your own pace. There’s no right way to do this.

Some people come for the movement. Some come for the conversation. Some just need to get out of the house. All of it belongs here.

If you’ve been thinking about coming, this is your sign. We would love to have you join us 💚

What a beautiful day it was for our April Coffee Walk and Talk. A small but mighty group of lovely women and tiny humans.

It still amazes me how you all keep showing up to move your bodies with me. I never imagined this little idea of mine, to gather people with littles, would still be going two years later.

That’s right. We’ve completed 24 walks through sunshine, rain, clouds, snow, and ice.

I have always believed in the power of mental health walks. After having my daughter, I wanted to move my body and I craved connection. I had a feeling I wasn’t alone.

So I used my brand new business to bring this idea to life. I shared it with Stephen, the owner of Brewtus, and he was immediately on board. I don’t think either of us imagined there would be days when over 30 of us would fill the space.

The staff at Brewtus has always been incredibly kind and patient with us, our emotions, and our kiddos. I am so deeply grateful for the way you’ve helped hold this space. A space where new mothers, often right on the edge, can come in, feel safe, and be met with openness, support, and care. A place where we can cry, laugh, and lean on each other.

To each of you who come, whether once or every month, thank you. Whether you’re a mother, father, parent, grandparent, or caregiver. The way you show up for each other, and for me, is something I will never take for granted. It truly brings me to tears to be surrounded by people like you.

Some days this walk is the reason someone makes it through.

No matter how long this walk continues, I will never forget what you’ve created here together.

We don’t always say this out loud, but it matters.

We care for all genders, all ages, and a wide range of pelvic and orthopedic concerns.

From pregnancy and postpartum…
to bowel and bladder changes…
to sports injuries and returning to performance…
to pelvic pain, surgery recovery, and getting back to what you love, we’re here.

And something important to know: Gina treats everyone.
Men, women, transgender and nonbinary individuals, kids and adults with thoughtful, skilled, inclusive care.

We’re also trauma-informed, which means we move at your pace, prioritize consent, and make sure you feel safe, heard, and in control throughout your care.

If you’ve been unsure where to start, you’re not alone.
You belong here.

You’re not making it up, and you’re not the problem.

You just haven’t been given the full picture yet.

Whether you come for physical therapy or mental health, you deserve a thorough assessment, honest answers, and care that actually connects the dots.

No more
“just do kegels”
“just breathe more”
“just manage your stress”
“just communicate better.”

It makes sense that you’re confused when no one has taken the time to actually explain what’s going on.

You deserve care that listens,
looks deeper,
and stays.

Not quick fixes.
Not dismissal.
Not being sent somewhere else without a plan.

Two perspectives. One standard of care. We don’t stop at the surface.

In the middle of the night, in your head…
you should see the things we do.

Rewiring patterns.
Rebuilding strength.
Changing the story from both sides.

We see what others miss.

Your tongue position while you tell us about why you’re here.
How often “I don’t know” really means “it doesn’t feel safe to say.”

Gripping your upper abs or clenching your glutes even at “rest”.
The protective parts that show up as perfectionism, over-explaining, or shutting down.

The way you shift your pelvis forward or weight to one side especially when you hold your kiddo.
When someone minimizes their own pain but can easily validate everyone else’s.

How your knees dive in and feet collapse when you bend down to get your bag.
How “I’m fine” often lives alongside a dysregulated body.

Saying things like, “I know my abs are split. I know my prolapse is causing my back pain.”
Inner voices that sound suspiciously like a parent, partner, or past caregiver.

The patterns your body learned…
and the stories your brain kept.

Watching Gina step into her role as a pediatric pelvic floor PT has been so special.
She connects with kids in a way that makes them want to come back—and that’s where real progress happens.

Grateful for families who trust us with their kids 🤍

😵‍💫 If your toddler melts down around potty time… especially later in the day — this is for you

The hardest part of the day is when everything unravels:
🚽 Refusing the potty
😭 Big emotions
🫠 Holding p**p or sudden accidents

It’s not just behavior.

It’s how their body is:
👉 regulating
👉 breathing
👉 feeling safe

And that’s exactly what we work on in this class.

✨ Moving, Breathing, and Pooping with Confidence
A 4-week, play-based series designed to make potty learning feel easier — for both of you.

No pressure.
No forcing.
No power struggles.

Just real tools that actually help.

👶 Ages 18 months–3 years
📅 Wednesdays, April 9–30
⏰ 3:00–4:00 PM
📍 Fern Physical Therapy
👩‍⚕️ Led by Dr. Gina Ellis, Pediatric Pelvic Floor PT
👥 Only 4 spots available

💛 If potty time has been stressful, frustrating, or confusing — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

👉 DM us or book at fernpt.com

April’s Coffee Walk & Talk is extra special… it’s our TWO YEAR anniversary 🥹☕🌿

Two years ago, this started as a “let’s just see who shows up” kind of idea.

Honestly, I started it for me.
As a mom of a newborn with an older kiddo in school, running a new business, I needed friends. I needed community. I needed a reason to move my body and drink good coffee with people who just get it.

So I made Fern Coffee Walk & Talk.

And somehow… it turned into this.

A space to move, talk, vent, laugh, and just be human together.
A space that has grown into something so much more meaningful than I ever expected.

Come celebrate TWO YEARS of Coffee Walk & Talks with us:

📅 Friday, April 24
🕛 12–1: Walk the rail trail
☕ 1–2 (or until close): Coffee + hang at Brewtus

We’ll walk east for about 30 minutes, then turn around and head back.
If you’re late, just jump on the trail and walk east—you’ll find us.

No pressure. No expectations. Just show up as you are.
