Your pelvic floor does not exist in isolation.
And it does not stay the same across your lifetime.

During perimenopause, hormonal shifts (especially changes in estrogen) can affect the tissues of the pelvic floor, bladder, and vaginal walls. These tissues rely on estrogen for elasticity, blood flow, and resilience.

When those levels fluctuate, you might notice things like:
• Increased urgency or leaking
• A feeling of heaviness or pressure
• Changes in comfort during intimacy
• Symptoms that show up later in the day or after activity

For many people, these symptoms feel confusing, especially if they never had pelvic floor issues before.

This is not your body “failing.”
It is your body adapting.

Pelvic health physiotherapy during perimenopause focuses on understanding how hormonal changes, muscle coordination, breathing, and daily movement all interact.

It is not just about strengthening. Often, it is about restoring balance, support, and confidence in how your body functions.

Symptoms may be common during this stage of life.
But they are not something you have to push through or accept without support.

Your pelvic floor deserves care that reflects what your body is actually experiencing.

Breastfeeding is often talked about like it should be instinctive.
And for some people, it is.

But for many, it comes with questions long before baby arrives:
How will positioning actually feel in my body?
What if feeding hurts?
What is normal in the early days and what is not?
How do I support my body while learning to support my baby?

Our Prenatal Latch & Love: Breastfeeding 101 Workshop is designed to answer those questions before you are sleep-deprived and overwhelmed.

This is a practical, supportive class that covers:
• Breastfeeding basics without pressure or judgment
• Positioning that protects your body and your pelvic floor
• Common challenges and how to recognize when support is needed
• Building confidence before baby arrives, not scrambling after

01/09/2026

New parenthood is a season where your world changes overnight — and your body is trying to keep up with every new demand.

There’s feeding, carrying, bending, rocking, lifting.
There’s interrupted sleep and broken routines.
There’s the mental load of caring for someone who needs you constantly.

And there’s the pressure to do it all with a smile, as if your own comfort no longer matters.

But here’s the truth:
Your recovery is not secondary to your baby’s needs.
You don’t have to ignore your pain just because you’re busy.
You don’t have to earn support by “pushing through.”

A body that has grown, delivered, and now cares for a baby deserves attention — especially when things feel tense, weak, or different than they used to.

Postpartum physiotherapy helps restore how your body moves and functions.

Massage therapy and osteopathy help release the tension you’ve been holding while you meet new demands.

Counselling supports the emotional and mental load that naturally comes with this chapter — even the wonderful parts can feel heavy.

Feeling better in your body doesn’t just help you —
it helps you show up with more comfort, energy, and patience for the little one who depends on you.

You’re doing so much already.
Getting support doesn’t make you less capable — it strengthens the version of you who is learning, adapting, and loving through every moment.

Your healing matters here. 💛
We see everything you’re carrying — and we’re here to help you carry less.

Your body and mind are in constant communication — even when you aren’t fully aware of it.

Stress doesn’t just stay in your thoughts.
It settles into shoulders, tightens your jaw, and shows up as tension headaches.

Pain doesn’t just stay in the muscles or joints where it began.
It can impact your mood, drain your patience, and make even simple tasks feel heavier.

Fatigue isn’t just “being tired.”
It affects how you move, how you cope, and how your body recovers.

This is why treating only one part of the experience isn’t enough.

Integrated care acknowledges that:
• Physical discomfort can be rooted in emotional load
• Emotional overwhelm can show up as real pain
• Your nervous system affects everything — movement included

Physiotherapy helps restore healthy movement patterns.
Massage therapy and osteopathy release the tension your body has been holding.
Counselling supports the internal weight — the part people don’t always see.

When these approaches work together, healing becomes more complete.

You start to feel well in your daily life — not just for the hour you’re in the appointment.
Because your mind and body aren’t separate.

Your care shouldn’t be either.
Whole-person care is what helps you get back to feeling like yourself — inside and out.

Every January, there’s an expectation to flip a switch —
to suddenly become energized, motivated, focused, and ready to overhaul your life.

But your body doesn’t run on the calendar’s timeline.

Real change isn’t about force.
It isn’t about all-or-nothing routines.
It isn’t about abandoning who you are to become someone “better.”

Sustainable habits come from care-based support:
• Listening to what your body needs today
• Making choices that leave you feeling well
• Building slowly so it actually lasts
• Choosing compassion over pressure

You don’t need January magic.
You need support that honours you — the whole way through the year.

Here’s to a year built on feeling good in your body.
Not performing your way through it.

Pregnancy shifts how your body feels and how it asks to be supported.

If movement has started to feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or overwhelming, Prenatal Peaceful Pelvis Yoga offers a slower, more intentional approach.

This class is designed to support your pelvis, breath, posture, and nervous system throughout pregnancy. Each session focuses on gentle movement and breathing practices that help you feel more connected to your body and more at ease as it changes.

You do not need yoga experience.
You do not need to be flexible.
You do not need to push through discomfort.
You just need space to move in a way that feels supportive.

You don’t need a reinvention to enter the new year.
You don’t need a new personality, a new routine, or a perfectly organized life.

What if feeling better in 2026 is less about changing who you are…
and more about supporting who you already are?

You are walking into the new year with wisdom —
with proof you can adapt, recover, and keep showing up.

With a body that has carried you through every high and low of the past twelve months.

This is the year of honouring what you need.

Listening when your body speaks.
Choosing care over pressure.
Support over self-criticism.
Slow shifts over sudden overhauls.

You’re not starting from scratch — you’re building from strength.

Wishing you a gentle, supported start to 2026.
Happy New Year from the WHPC team. ✨

There is a point in early motherhood where advice stops being helpful and support starts to matter more.

If your days feel repetitive, isolating, or heavier than you expected, this group exists for that exact season.

Our Mom and Baby Peer Support Group is a weekly space for real connection. You come with your baby. You sit with other moms who are living the same chapter. You talk about postpartum recovery, the mental load, the emotions, the wins, and the hard parts without needing to explain or justify any of it.

There is no pressure to participate a certain way.
There is no expectation for babies to be quiet or content.
There is no fixing or performing here.

Just conversation, community, and support.

Pregnancy already asks so much of your body. This class is a chance to give something back.

Prenatal Peaceful Pelvis Yoga focuses on slow, supportive movement and breathwork that helps you feel more connected, more grounded, and more at ease as your body changes.
This is not a workout focused on doing more.

It is intentional movement that supports your pelvis, posture, breathing, and nervous system throughout pregnancy.

Each class offers space to:
• Move in a way that feels safe and supportive
• Learn breathing practices you can use daily and during birth
• Connect with your body and your baby
• Share space with other expecting parents

If you have been craving calm, clarity, and support in your pregnancy, this class was created with you in mind.

Happy Holidays from all of us at WHPC.

We hope today brings you pockets of calm, comfort, and connection —
even if it’s busy…
even if it’s loud…
even if it looks a little different than you imagined.

This season can hold a mix of joy and responsibility.
There’s a lot to care about — and a lot you’ve already carried to get here.

So if you feel a little tired, stretched thin, or slower to settle…
that’s okay.

Your body is allowed to feel everything this season brings.

If there’s a quiet moment to breathe, stretch, rest, or feel supported — take it.
Not because you’ve earned a break…
but because you deserve comfort simply by being human.

We’re wishing you warmth, presence, and a body that can soften a little today.
May you feel cared for — inside and out.

From our team to you,
Happy Holidays. ❤️
