“Engage your core” is one of the most common cues—
and one of the most misunderstood.

So many people are told to “tighten,” “brace,” or “pull your abs in”— and end up holding their breath, gripping their stomach, or over-squeezing their pelvic floor.

That’s not true core support.

If you’re clenching everything → you’re creating pressure, not control
If you’re holding your breath → your system can’t coordinate
If your pelvic floor is always “on” → it can’t fully function

Your core is meant to be responsive, not rigid.
It should:
• Gently activate with breath
• Adapt to movement and load
• Work with your pelvic floor—not against it

Pelvic floor therapy helps you learn how to actually coordinate your system— so you’re not guessing every time someone says “engage your core.”

Because more tension isn’t the answer.
Better coordination is.

Perimenopause & Your Pelvic Floor

Noticing changes like bladder leaks, pelvic pressure, painful in*******se, or core weakness? You’re not imagining it—perimenopause can affect your pelvic floor.

As estrogen begins to fluctuate, it can lead to:
• Weakened pelvic floor muscles
• Increased urinary urgency or leakage
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort
• Pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms
• Core and hip instability

The good news? Pelvic floor therapy can help.

A pelvic floor therapist can help you:
✔ Improve bladder control
✔ Restore pelvic floor strength and coordination
✔ Reduce pain with intimacy
✔ Support your core and posture
✔ Stay active and confident during this transition

Perimenopause is a natural stage of life—but struggling with pelvic symptoms doesn’t have to be.

Pregnancy and postpartum are times of immense change—physically, emotionally, and functionally.

I specialize in perinatal pelvic floor therapy because parents deserve:
• Education to understand their bodies
• Time to be heard and supported
• Individualized care
• Guidance that extends beyond discharge

This work is about helping you feel confident in your body again.

03/09/2026

Your first postpartum session is all about understanding you.

• We talk through your birth and recovery
• Discuss what you’re hoping to get back to
• Look at movement and pelvic floor function
• Build a plan that works with your real life

No rushing. No pressure. Always consent-based care.

Before the pool days, beach trips, and long walks with the kids begin…
Let’s make sure your body feels ready.

If you’re dealing with:
• Leaking when you jump, cough, or run
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Pain with intimacy
• Low back or hip pain
• Feeling disconnected from your core

Now is the time to address it — not mid-vacation.

Pelvic floor therapy helps you:
✔ Rebuild deep core strength
✔ Improve bladder control
✔ Decrease pelvic & back pain
✔ Move with confidence

Starting now means you can head into summer feeling strong, supported, and comfortable in your body — instead of just hoping symptoms calm down.

DM to schedule your evaluation 🌿.

If you’re a military spouse getting ready to PCS this summer — this is your sign 💛

PCS season fills up quickly… and so does your schedule.

Before the movers come and the boxes take over your house, ask yourself:

• Are you still leaking when you run or sneeze?
• Feeling pelvic pressure or heaviness?
• Dealing with pain with intimacy?
• Struggling with core weakness, back, or hip pain?
• Pregnant and wanting to prepare for birth?

You might have enough time to complete a focused pelvic floor therapy plan before you transfer — especially if your next duty station doesn’t have easy access to specialized care.

Whether you’re using TRICARE Select or Prime, now is the time to check your benefits and get scheduled.

Don’t PCS with symptoms you’ve been putting off.

Take care of your body before you pack it up 🇺🇸💪

DM me to see if we can fit in a plan before your move.

Just because it’s common… doesn’t mean it’s normal. 🤍

🚫 Leaking months after birth
🚫 Pelvic pressure or heaviness
🚫 Pain with intimacy
🚫 Ongoing tailbone, back, or hip pain
🚫 Feeling disconnected from your core

These are signs your body may still need support — not something you just “live with.”

Pelvic floor therapy looks at the why behind your symptoms and creates a plan to restore strength, coordination, and confidence — not just teach you how to manage it.

You deserve to feel strong in your body again. ✨

Is pelvic floor therapy actually safe during pregnancy?

Short answer: yes—when provided by a trained pelvic floor therapist.

Care is modified for pregnancy and may include:
• Breathing strategies
• Postural support
• Pelvic and hip mobility
• Functional strengthening
• Labor prep education

The goal is support, not strain.

Your body is doing important work—therapy should work with it.

Follow for pregnancy + postpartum education 🤍

There’s a lot of misinformation out there — let’s clear it up.

MYTH: Pelvic floor therapy in pregnancy is automatically internal.
REALITY: Internal assessment or treatment is not always recommended during pregnancy — and it is always your choice. Many concerns can be addressed externally through breath work, mobility, manual therapy, and movement retraining.

MYTH: It’s just Kegels.
REALITY: Pregnancy care focuses on coordination, relaxation, pressure management, posture, hips, and core — not just strengthening.

MYTH: You have to be in pain to go.
REALITY: Therapy can be proactive — preparing for birth, improving pushing mechanics, reducing perineal tearing risk, and helping you feel confident in your body.

MYTH: It’s one-size-fits-all.
REALITY: Care is adapted to your trimester, symptoms, goals, and comfort level.

Pelvic floor occupational therapy during pregnancy is:
✔ Gentle
✔ Consent-based
✔ Whole-body focused
✔ Education-driven

This is about helping you move well, breathe well, and feel supported through pregnancy — not about doing anything you’re uncomfortable with.

You deserve clarity. And you deserve options.

02/23/2026

Pregnancy changes your body—but pain, leaking, and heaviness don’t have to be part of the deal 🤍

You may benefit from pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy if you’re experiencing:
• Leaking with coughing or sneezing
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Hip or low back pain
• Pain with rolling in bed or walking
• Fear or anxiety about labor or tearing

Pelvic floor during pregnancy focuses on preparing your body for birth, not pushing through symptoms.

✨ You don’t have to wait until postpartum to get support.

Many women experiencing pelvic pain, urinary urgency, or difficulty initiating their urine stream don’t have a weak pelvic floor — they may have a pelvic floor that’s working too hard.

When muscles stay in a constant state of tension, they:
• Tire out more quickly
• Can contribute to pain
• May increase urgency symptoms
• Can make bowel movements harder

An overactive pelvic floor often benefits from downtraining, breathwork, and hands-on therapy — all supported by current research for this type of dysfunction.

True strength isn’t just about contracting.
It’s about the ability to contract and fully relax.

Pelvic floor therapy looks at the whole picture, including:
• Muscle tone
• Coordination
• Endurance
• Timing
• The ability to let go

Because not every pelvic floor symptom is caused by weakness — and more Kegels aren’t always the solution.

You carried a human for 9+ months.
Your organs shifted.
Your ribs expanded.
Your pelvic floor stretched up to 2–3x its resting length.

And now you’re wondering:
• “Why do I leak when I sneeze?”
• “Why does intimacy feel different?”
• “Why do I still look pregnant?”
• “Why does everything feel… heavy?”

First: you’re not broken.
Second: this is common.
Third: common doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

Your pelvic floor is recovering from a marathon — not a sprained ankle.

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t about snapping back.
It’s about:
✨ Reconnecting to your breath
✨ Restoring core support
✨ Healing scar tissue (C-section or tearing)
✨ Reducing heaviness and pressure
✨ Feeling confident in your body again

You deserve rehab after birth.
Not just a 6-week clearance and a “good luck.”

If you’re leaking, feeling pressure, or just disconnected from your core — that’s your body asking for support, not discipline.

Reach out and let’s work towards feeling like you again
