Most people have no idea an Occupational Therapist can help with pelvic health.

When I tell people I'm an OT who specializes in pelvic health, the response is almost always the same:
"Wait… OTs can do that?"

Yep. And here's what makes it different from what you might expect:

I don't just look at your pelvic floor.
I look at your WHOLE life — how you move, breathe, sleep, sit, work, parent, and show up in your body every day.
I address the psychosocial side, too. Where trauma lives in your body. How your nervous system is playing a role. The emotional weight of your symptoms.

I spend 90 minutes with you at your first visit. Not 15. Because you deserve to be heard.

I incorporate abdominal therapy, nervous system regulation, manual therapy, and mindfulness — whatever YOUR body needs.

And I've been where you are. Endometriosis. Birth trauma. Pregnancy loss. Cancer. I get it — not just clinically, but personally.

Occupational therapy is about helping you live your FULL life. And your pelvic health is a huge part of that.

Tuesday night in Holland. One free hour. The conversation most women are aching to be part of.

A Pelvic Wellness Workshop with Janelle Kloske Nature's Market
1013 Washington Ave, Holland MI
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
7–8 PM FREE (but seats are limited)

Your pelvic floor is one of the most overlooked muscle groups in your body — and one of the most important. In one hour, we're going to change that.

Here's what we'll cover:
How to actually connect with this often-overlooked powerhouse
Practical breath, posture, and movement techniques you can use immediately
Self-assessment tools to take home
How your pelvic floor connects to urinary issues, back & hip pain, reproductive and digestive wellness, and even intimacy
What pelvic floor occupational therapy actually is — and why it matters for your whole-body health

You don't need to have "a problem" to come.
You don't need to know the right questions.
You just need to be curious about your own body.

Last time we did this, the room was packed and women told me:
"I've never heard anyone talk about this before."
"I didn't know I wasn't alone."

That's exactly why we keep showing up.

Bring a friend. Bring your sister. Bring the woman in your life who's been suffering quietly and doesn't know there's another way.

DM me "WORKSHOP" and I'll send the registration link straight to you.

See you Tuesday.

"I know I need help. I just don't have time."

I hear this every single week. And honestly? I get it.

Life is full. Work, kids, appointments, the mental load of just existing as a woman right now.

But here's what stops me every time I hear it:

You've been making time for the symptoms.

Every bathroom trip you planned around.
Every leaked moment you cleaned up.
Every intimate moment you avoided.
Every workout you skipped.
Every pain flare you pushed through.

That's time too. 🫶🏻

Here's what most people don't realize about working with me:

→ First appointment is 90 minutes (because I actually listen)
→ Follow-ups are 45-60 min, typically every 1-2 weeks
→ Telehealth available anywhere in Michigan
→ We build a plan around YOUR life — not the other way around

You don't need to carve out hours.

You need one 15-minute curiosity call. Free. No commitment. Just a conversation to see if this is the right fit.

💬 "I had the opportunity to attend the Wild Women's retreat this year and it was by far the best retreat I've ever been on. Janelle was an amazing hostess with activities thoughtfully planned to improve mindfulness, body positivity, appreciation, and reflection. Her knowledge of women's health shined throughout the weekend making her a great resource and super easy to talk with. Anxiously awaiting the next retreat with much excitement!" — Heather J.

The Wild Woman Retreat isn't something I just put together. It's something women remember for years.

4 days of yoga, movement, bo***ir photography, pelvic health education, beach time, deep connection, and permission to just BE.

Summer 2026 is coming. And if past years are any indication — it WILL sell out.

DM me "WILD" to get on the waitlist. 💛🌊

Do you have rock back and forth, use your hands to help, or strain to have a 💩 This may be for you!

Painful s3x is no fun! And it should feel safe and pleasurable. 🔥

But so many women have been told:
→ "Just relax."
→ "Use more l**e."
→ "It's in your head."
→ "That's just how it is after kids."

None of those are treatment plans. They're dismissals.

Painful intimacy can be caused by:
→ Pelvic floor tension (tight ≠ strong)
→ Scar tissue from birth or surgery
→ Hormonal changes
→ Nerve sensitivity
→ Trauma stored in the body
→ Or a combination of several factors

Every single one of these has options. Real options. Not "just relax."

This is literally what I'm trained to help with. S*xuality counseling and pelvic health — together. Because they're connected. 🫶🏻

"Restored." That word stops me every time.

Not "fixed." Not "cured." Restored.

That's what holistic care does. It doesn't just address one muscle or one symptom — it helps you feel at home in your body again.

If you've been searching for answers and nobody's been listening — I hear you. And I'd love to help. 🫶🏻
