One of the greatest ways of prepping for childbirth is learning to let go of expectations. Birth, like many aspects of parenting, is something that is out of our control. (That being said we can stack the cards in our favor, feel empowered, and trust that our bodies are designed for this process. We can make educated and informed decisions during our labor and delivery.) We can also learn to connect to our bodies and start building foundations to foster better healing in the postpartum period. Our bodies are amazing and I invite you to learn more about your body and discover the power and strength we have as women.

“Birth is birth whether it’s vaginal or surgical. A mother’s body is guided to do what’s right for her and the baby in that moment.”

Postpartum Services

Your body had 9-10 months to slowly change and adapt to nurture your growing baby. This includes changes in hormones, alignment, your weight, center of gravity, and movement and breathing patterns. Allow that magnitude to sink in for a moment…

Society has created an expectation that we bounce back to our pre-baby selves in 12 weeks. T-W-E-L-V-E. WEEKS, after taking 9-10 months to grow a baby! I

’m here to empower you with the knowledge about what to realistically expect from your body, mind and spirit after giving birth. We will never be exactly who we were before birth.

Birth and motherhood are a transition that should be honored and tended. Postpartum pelvic floor therapy will give you the tools to foster healing and regain your strength and function, so that you can return to doing the things you LOVE to do.

Postpartum Support Includes:

  • Scar Tissue Release

  • Prolapse

  • Diastasis Recti

  • Pelvic Pain and/or Pain with Sex

  • Constipation, Bowel, Hemorrhoids, Bladder Symptoms, Incontinence

  • Pubic Bone Pain/SPD (Symphyses Pubis Dysfunction)

Other Postpartum Considerations Include:

  • Return to Exercises

  • Return to Sex

  • Optimal Posture & Breathing for Core Function 

  • Baby Wearing

  • Home Management 

  • Breastfeeding

You can still benefit from pelvic floor therapy even without these symptoms, by learning to properly rehab your core as prevention. If you're like me (and most of the moms I know!), you’re probably thinking you don’t have time for exercises.

My approach will give you strategies to address your strength and function while caring for your newborn and other children and managing the home, all while participating in activities that light you up - not add to your never-ending to-do list.

 

“Just as a woman’s heart knows how to pump, her lungs to fill with air, and her hand to pull back from fire, so her body knows how to give birth.
