Be Well Therapy

My first presentation in 2024 is tomorrow for a group of sexual assault survivors. The presentation is on “Pelvic Health & Sexual Health.” One of the main important functions of the pelvic floor is sexual health. We will discuss this in detail and how to regain resilience after trauma.

I am a trauma-informed pelvic floor physical therapist who incorporates mind, body and energy in my work. I am honored to work with women (and men) who are sexual trauma survivors.

Please feel free to send me a DM for presentation requests or treatment discussion. My clinic is in Hollywood and West Hollywood area. While in person session is optimal, I’ve worked via telehealth and have gotten really good results. Many blessings to you.

I started eating gluten and lactose free, whole foods and mostly plant-based in 2011 for wellness reason and so I looked for ways to recreate traditional Filipino dishes. This is my take on ube halaya, turning it vegan and gluten free.

Voila! 🧚‍♀️

DM me your email if you’d like the recipe.

The fertilized egg is supposed to attach inside the uterus but it attaches outside the uterus in the case of ectopic pregnancy. It is a form of miscarriage and is dangerous as it could lead to organ damage or death or life-threatening internal bleeding. Some signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Low back our shoulder pain
- Pelvic pain
- Feeling faint or dizzy due to loss of blood
Immediate treatment is necessary so please call your doctor immediately if you are pregnancy and feel the above symptoms. Treatment involves medication and surgery.
After surgery, a woman is usually placed on bed rest. After bed rest, and the woman is cleared by the doctor for exercise, it is important to seek care from a pelvic health physical therapist.
I am currently seeing a client who had an ectopic pregnancy. She was cleared by her surgeon so we did an initial evaluation. She had a lot of pain in the back at rest and was increased by movement. It was very difficult for her to get in and out of the treatment table, to turn on her sides.
Before anything else, we addressed what many women do not get to experience: we honored the life that she lost. Her potential offspring. Then we honored the lost of her fallopian tube and her significant contributions. My client has three children. After doing this, we worked on improving the motility (mobility of an organ) by a specialized modality called visceral manipulation.
I wanted to share today how important it is to not forget to honor parts of us that we lose. Energies of removed organs remain in our bodies until we release them. Energy of an unborn child can remain in our body until we release her or him. The energetic release can unblock the system and will improve energetic flow and aid in healing. In addition, emotions stored in the organs are directly connected to our brain. Our organs and brain have a bidirectional communication.
After one week, my client today is able to walk slowly on the treadmill. She has increased range of motion of her low back. She was able to move with greater ease on the treatment table and we were able to progress her exercise program. She is great client, very motivated to get back to running which makes my job much easier! 🙂
And did I mention I LOVE my work?

In honor of International Women's Day, I am offering a free 60-minute webinar on how to determine if you can benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy (PT). From working with women for many years, I find that most women can benefit from pelvic floor PT. This is especially true if:
- You had children (even if you are already a grandma!)
- You leak urine when you laugh, cough or sneeze
- You have pain "down there."
- You have painful periods.
- You wake up at night more than once to urinate.
- You urinate at least once every hour.
- You had a c-section.
