As part of the Maia Well Medical Advisory Board, I’m teaming up with Maia Well’s founder .co & helping you catch the signs that you may need more support 😊🤍
Something I hear all the time is that “my doctor prescribed me kegels to fix xyz” - without a pelvic floor muscle assessment, without an assessment of core function, and particularly without a referral to a pelvic floor therapist who specializes in just that!
If you’re dealing with symptoms like:
💧Leaking or urgency/frequency
💥Pain with sex, tampon use, medical exam
😮‍💨Pelvic pressure or heaviness
Then you need to get assessed to identify all of the contributors to those symptoms. Don’t accept a blanket prescription for kegels. Ladies, it’s time for a proper assessment. Kegels aren’t one-size-fits-all, and often, they’re not the answer.
➡️For those looking to strengthen and reconnect with their pelvic floor - I love how Maia Well offers group pelvic floor + deep core group fitness classes in Westfield! (Highly recommended!)
➡️And if you’re experiencing specific symptoms or looking for a personalized plan - let’s chat! DM me and we can hop on a free consultation call to discuss a custom plan to get you back on track to feeling confident in your body!
We are here for you! 🤍

Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in perimenopause & menopause - but that doesn’t mean it’s normal, and there is a lot that can be done to support your body in these phases of life 🌷
Look out for symptoms like:
1. Urinary leaking
👉 Caused by reduced pelvic muscle tone and connective tissue support as estrogen drops.
2. Urinary Urgency or Frequency
👉 Estrogen loss can thin the urethral and bladder tissues, increasing sensitivity and irritation.
3. Pelvic Pressure or Heaviness
👉 This can indicate early pelvic organ prolapse as hormonal changes weaken fascia and ligaments that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
4. Pain with Intercourse
👉 Decreased estrogen → less blood flow and lubrication → vaginal dryness and thinning → irritation or tearing with friction.
5. Core Weakness + Postural Changes
👉 The abdominals & pelvic floor muscles work together. Hormonal shifts + loss of muscle mass can alter load transfer, contributing to low back or hip discomfort.
6. Pelvic Floor Muscle Overactivity
👉 Some women compensate for weakness with chronic pelvic floor tension. This can cause aching, burning, or difficulty fully relaxing during urination or bowel movements.
🔑The Takeaway: Symptoms that arise in perimenopause and menopause reveal where your system needs more support. With proper guidance, pelvic floor therapy can help restore coordination and strength, tissue health, and confidence in your body!

I had such a great time filming my “Clark Conversations” interview at Catalyst 😄
The question of how Catalyst got its name was so fun to reminisce about and reminded me how far I’ve come - from googling ideas for names to call my business to now being in my very own office space and having the opportunity to collaborate and grow with so many likeminded providers.
With Catalyst’s 2nd birthday approaching, I can’t help but wonder where we’ll be another 2 years now 🥲🙌
Check out the full interview on YouTube via the link in my bio! 🤓

I think it’s time to reintroduce myself 🤓✨
Hi! 👋 I’m Nicole, your friendly neighborhood pelvic physical therapist 🌷🦸‍♀️
I get to come to work everyday and work with the best patients around to resolve issues like pelvic pain, back and hip pain, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and pelvic organ prolapse. I get to provide support during all seasons of life 🍃🍂, such as pregnancy & postpartum 🤰and perimenopause/menopause.
I love what I do and how I get to do it at Catalyst. It is an honor to be even a small part of someone’s healing journey, and this is what fills my cup everyday ❤️‍🩹
I love learning 📚 over the years, I’ve come to realize there are infinite ways to help people and I want to learn as many of them as I can. Because of this, the way that I practice is always evolving and being fine-tuned 📈
I love nature & being active 🏔️🌲🏃‍♀️ I believe these 2 things are some of our biggest healers and our best medicine.
If you’re a patient of mine, expect to learn a lot about yourself and to have lots of fun in our sessions 😋
I will never not treat myself to a caramel latte ☕️ & I’m only a little obsessed with my dog Penny 🐶🙃
Catalyst got its name because I learned that a “catalyst leader” is defined as someone who brings out the best in people and looks for the potential in others that they cannot see themselves. This really resonated with me & why I chose to be a physical therapist 👩‍⚕️
I strive to be that catalyst for change with my patients to get them back to who they want to be, confidently doing the things they love 🙌

Every practitioner is different. We vary in experience, courses taken, treatment styles and philosophies, even personality!
That doesn’t automatically translate to “better”, but it can sometimes translate to “better for YOU”.
My point being - if you’ve tried pelvic PT before and didn’t see the results you wanted, you might just need to seek out a clinician with a different perspective 🤓 it might be the thing that changes everything for you 🙌
