Pregnancy isn’t just the big moments...
it’s the daily ones no one prepares you for.

Getting out of bed and feeling heavier than yesterday.
Wondering why your pelvis feels tight by noon.
Questioning every workout, every stretch, every twinge:
Am I helping… or making this worse?

Everyone says listen to your body...
but that’s hard when your body feels unfamiliar, unpredictable, and already exhausted.

What helped wasn’t pushing harder.
And it wasn’t pretending to feel confident.

It was learning how to breathe again... on purpose.
Moving in ways that felt supportive instead of stressful.
Building strength without fear.
Flexibility without forcing.

Not to make pregnancy easier…
but to stop treating the body like something that needed to be fought.

By the time labor came, control was no longer the goal.

You don’t need a new body during pregnancy.
You need a safer relationship with the one you’re already in.

Hole health is whole YOU.

“If it hurts, just relax.”
That sentence has probably caused more harm than help.

Pain during intimacy isn’t random.
And bodies don’t resist pleasure without a reason.

Pain isn’t the problem.
It’s information.

When something hurts, the body does what it’s designed to do:
It protects.
It tightens.
It guards.

Not because it’s broken.
But because safety hasn’t been established yet.

Which is why “just relax” completely misses the point.

Healing doesn’t come from pushing through.
It comes from understanding what the body has been responding to all along.

So here’s the real question:
If pain keeps showing up, what has your body been trying to tell you?

Some myths survive because they’re convenient.
Truth asks better questions...and leads to better care.

You don’t need a new body.
You need a safer relationship with the one you already have.

Hole Health is whole health.

January is quieter than December.
Less performative. More honest.

And that’s usually when people start noticing what they pushed aside.

The tailbone that still aches after long days.
The bladder that doesn’t feel predictable.
The tension that never fully let go.
The fatigue that didn’t magically disappear with a new calendar.

What most people want right now isn’t another resolution.
It’s reassurance.

Healing doesn’t begin with doing more.
It begins with understanding what your body has been asking for.

Not fixing.
Not forcing.
Just listening differently.

I share weekly emails connecting moments like this to pelvic health…how the body holds stress, how symptoms develop, and how understanding changes healing.

Most postpartum women aren’t confused...they’re overwhelmed by timelines that ignore how healing actually works.

Every January, the same questions spike:
When can I work out again?
Is leaking still normal?
Why does s*x still hurt?
Why doesn’t my core feel stable yet?

The new year quietly introduces a deadline the body never agreed to.

Postpartum recovery isn’t linear.
Tissue healing, nervous system regulation, and pelvic coordination unfold over months, not calendar resets.

When recovery is rushed, the body doesn’t “fall behind.”
It adapts by protecting... through tension, guarding, urgency, or pain.

That’s not weakness.
That’s physiology doing its job.

A smarter start to the year doesn’t ask the body to catch up.
It asks what conditions help it feel safe enough to rebuild.

Healing doesn’t need a new timeline.
It needs the right support.

Happy New Year 🤍

This time of year comes with a lot of noise.
Resolutions. Reinvention. Pressure to start over.

But bodies don’t reset on January 1.

Healing continues.
Learning continues.
Strength builds quietly, not instantly.

So as this year begins, may it be guided by:
less rushing
more listening
and care that respects how the body actually works.

Here’s to a year of steady progress, honest recovery, and moving forward with trust — not force.

Wishing you a grounded, supported start to the year.

“Just relax” is not medical advice.

It’s what gets said when the system runs out of curiosity.

S*xual pain isn’t a willpower problem.
It’s not a motivation problem.
And it’s definitely not a “you’re too tense” problem.

It’s a mind–body pattern shaped by nervous system protection, lived experience, and physical response... something that can’t be fixed with dismissal.

“This book is a breath of fresh air for those weary and exhausted from the chronic frustration of s*xual pain… a realistic and holistic approach that’s often overlooked in the medical community.”
- Vaginismus Coach

Not gentle. Not vague. Realistic.

If a care plan ignores the nervous system,

the story behind the symptoms, and how safety actually works in the body...
it’s incomplete care.

And incomplete care keeps people stuck.

S*xual pain doesn’t need more minimizing.
It needs better thinking.

Painful s*x isn’t always about the body.

Sometimes it’s about what the body has been protecting you from.

I once worked with someone who avoided intimacy for years, assuming the pain was “normal” and something to push through.

But her pelvic floor wasn’t broken...
it was guarding.

Guarding from fear.
From past experiences.
From a nervous system that learned staying tense felt safer than letting go.

When she realized her body had been stuck in fight-or-flight for years, everything shifted.
Not just physically, but emotionally.

Pelvic pain often isn’t about one tight muscle. It’s about safety.

And healing begins when the body finally feels safe enough to soften...
without shame, without forcing, without rushing.

If painful s*x has been part of your story, ask yourself gently:
Is your body fighting you…
or has it been protecting you all along?

Your body isn’t betraying you.
It’s been doing its best to keep you safe.

Nothing exposes bladder habits faster than the holidays.

Travel. Coffee. Wine. Late nights. Stress.
Suddenly the bladder feels louder, bossier, and far less patient.

Under the jokes about “tiny bladders” or “needing to p*e again already,”
there’s something more real:
a desire to feel in control
and to enjoy the season without bathroom anxiety in the background.

Most people don’t have a small bladder.
They have a bladder responding to learned patterns...especially in busy seasons.

More sipping. Less water. More rushing.
The bladder starts signaling more often,
not because it’s weak,
but because it thinks this is the routine now.

With small, intentional shifts, the bladder can become calmer and more reliable...even during the holidays.

When the year asks you to rush, gift yourself a moment to return home.
Your pelvis. Your power. Your whole.

Quick pelvic check. 😉

Not the kind that involves fixing, stretching, or Googling symptoms at midnight.
Just… noticing.

Cozy ☕
Tight 🧱
Meh 😐
Spicy 🌶️
Tired-but-trying 😮‍💨
Surprisingly okay 🙂
Buffering… ⏳

All valid.
All informative.

The pelvis doesn’t get tense because it’s dramatic.
It gets tense because it’s been doing its job... holding stress, pressure, posture, breath, and life.

Ignoring it doesn’t make it chill.
Listening usually does.

So what’s the vibe today?
👇 Drop the word. No overexplaining.

When the year asks you to rush,
gift yourself a moment to return home.
Your pelvis. Your power. Your whole.

Hole Health is Whole Health.

More plans. More people. More expectations.
More ‘just get through it.’

And somehow… your body is always the one expected to stay silent.

Held breath.
Clenched jaw.
Tight hips.
A pelvic floor that never gets the memo that it’s safe to soften.

No one is asking you to cancel your life.
But your body is done being the thing you sacrifice to keep everything running.

This season isn’t asking for perfection.
It’s asking for partnership.

Pause sooner.
Listen earlier.
Choose what actually matters.

Hole Health is Whole You.

Holiday foods can mean more bloating and constipation.

That pressure doesn’t just disappear...
and the pelvic floor often feels it first.

Cue: tailbone pain, pelvic tension, urinary urgency, painful s*x, or that heavy “something’s off” feeling.

So many of us are told:
“Fix your gut first… then we’ll address the pelvis.”

But waiting doesn’t pause pelvic symptoms.

It often amplifies them.

While digestion struggles, the pelvis learns to guard, the breath and core disconnect, and the nervous system stays on high alert.

This isn’t gut care or pelvic care.

It’s parallel support...especially during the holidays.

Sometimes the most responsible thing you can do is stop holding everything together alone.

When the year asks you to rush,
gift yourself a moment to return home.

Your pelvis. Your power. Your whole.

Don’t wait until menopause to ask for menopause support.

If you have ovaries and you outlive them, menopause is going to happen.
That’s not a maybe. That’s biology.

And here’s the part no one says out loud:
Menopause isn’t something you “move past.”

There is no post-menopause where ovaries magically restart.
Once it happens, it’s happening... for the rest of your life.

So no, you’re not “too young” at 32 to ask about menopause benefits.
You’re early. And that’s smart.

Because eventually, if you live long enough, you will need them.

Power doesn’t come from waiting.
