Did you know EmBodied has a huge lending library all over the office? This is just one of the main stacks you can find here. In total there are over 100 books scattered through out the office (and we're up to 16+ different faeries)⁠
⁠
Did you know Dr. Emily is a crazy/avid reader? (She reads between 5-10 books a month!)⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
One of the best ways to gain perspective and knowledge on a topic is to read a book about it. Emerge yourself in the stories and experiences of other people to learn about and embrace that their lives are ultimately different!⁠
⁠
Keep your eyes here for a book of the month brought to you by Dr. Emily's favorite reading materials that she's been going through. From pelvic and women's health to fiction to body work to energy work to spirituality and so much more -we're always reading at EmBodied and can't wait to share our FAVORITES.⁠
⁠
You can also find us for bookclub (coming soon) with Melissa Delizia (.acceptance) where we'll meet to discuss some of our personal favorites!⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
The world of birth/ inclusion/ health is changing and one of our BEST avenues to learn and grow from each other is to *attempt* to step in to each other's shoes.⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
PSA - All the lending library books (this shelf and all the shelves through out the office) are available to borrow/share/replace and love. Nothing like a good book chain.⁠

All sessions at EmBodied have some element of energy work integrated in to your treatment protocol. This is because of Dr. Emily's personal practices and the ability to easefully and fluidly connect the inner world with the outer one.⁠
⁠
BUT have you been looking for it to go a little bit further? EmBodied is now offering 2 hour treatment sessions - this means you get your full pelvic floor experience and then also get a full energy work/AAT session as well.⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
You may be wondering, two hours?⁠
Well, we though the same thing too UNTIL it came by as personal requests from *several* patients and we started to really listen. Through these longer avenues of patient care we get to really dive deep in to the sacral and womb space energy that is resting in the resistance of the pelvic floor.⁠
⁠
These sessions are great for people who feel like they just don't connect with their bodies, for pelvic pain patients who needs a bit more time for release and relaxation, for those who come from far away and want to be seen for longer / less frequently.⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
We're booking these treatments (and more) in August so if you're interested in diving in to what two hours of energy work and body balancing is like, give us a call or a text today!⁠

The dreaded postpartum question of the century...⁠
⁠
YES, this is super common - but did you know it's not normal?⁠
⁠
Did you also know that some times it even happens when you *haven't* had children and that's also really common (but not normal)⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
Because we (unless you're Dr. Emily in which case she'll talk about anything with anyone) as a society don't talk about bodily functions like this openly and regularly - sometimes we forget that although cumulatively we have had a lot happen to our bodies and in our logical brains we know we're okay to ask, we've hesitated because it just feels too... uncomfortable!⁠
⁠
This is your PSA that if you leak with laughing/coughing/sneezing - it's a pressure system malfunction! This means that if you have one part of your system that's over (or under) contracting it can cause leakage/loss of urine!⁠
⁠
AND NO THIS DOES NOT MEAN DO YOUR KEGELS - sometimes if your pelvic floor is "too tight" or the muscles are overly contracted you can have the same issues ! ⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
This is your PSA to get a pelvic assessment by a pelvic floor physical therapist! We're highly trained to be able to help you figure out your specific issues, treat accordingly and not waste time with ridiculously complicated core exercises or the *wrong* information of over contracting your pelvic muscles.⁠
⁠
You can make an appointment with Dr. Emily at EmBodied by calling or texting 908-783-4187 OR find someone local to you!⁠
⁠
Can't wait to get you back in full working order!⁠

If you're my patient you know I'm obsessed with getting everyone (and probably their partners, mothers, friends) to meditate - and it's SO much more than most people even really typically *think* as to why!⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
Did you know mindfulness can help with your s*x drive?⁠
⁠
That's right, feeling centered, calm and focused on yourself for 10-20 minutes a day can indeed increase your energy, lower your stress hormones (AKA CORTISOL) and in turn... turn you on?⁠
⁠
✨⁠
⁠
It may sound funny reading it like that but the reality is, most of us are so stressed out we can't even think about taking our pants off nonetheless trying to get our partner to engage in intimate acts with us.⁠
⁠
Working on reducing your stress, enhancing your connection with yourself and your body and refocusing your energy can not only help to increase your libido but also give you the energy and stamina to be able to better create an environment in your mind to enhance your desire for intimacy and also your ability to achieve and have pleasure from the interaction.⁠
