Let’s be honest… everyone Googles their symptoms 😅
And that’s okay!
When a patient tells me what they’ve read or what they think might be going on, it opens the door to a really helpful conversation.
Often, the “why” behind your thought process. The patterns you’ve noticed, the explanations that make sense to you, gives me clues about your symptoms, lifestyle, and concerns that I might not otherwise learn.
So don’t worry about “self diagnosing.” It’s all part of collaborating and understanding your body better.

So yes… bring your Google searches to your appointment. We’ll make sense of them together.

A lot of people think birth prep is about making a plan for the perfect birth. But here’s the thing… perfection isn’t the goal. 💡

Birth prep is really about feeling confident, knowing your options, and having tools to support you, when labour takes its twists and turns (because it usually does), you still feel calm and capable. 💕

We can’t control every detail of birth. But we can prepare our bodies and minds, and that makes such a difference in how we experience it. 🌸

✨ Birth prep isn’t about control. It’s about empowerment. ✨

In birth prep we learn how to control the things that we can control. With tips based on evidence from actually research in women’s health.

Because while we can’t control every detail, we can control how prepared, supported, and empowered we feel. And that can make all the difference in creating a positive birth experience. 💕

✨ You deserve to feel informed, calm, and cared for during this life changing moment.

My 40th birthday has common gone! And I was reminded several times that it’s” a big one” 🤣 Oddly enough, I don’t feel old at all. But there has been something looming over me. I feel like finally (maybe) I should become an adult and take this whole adulting thing seriously! Retirement planning? Being the “responsible adult” in the room? 😬….fake it till you make it…right??!! I’ve figured out WHAT I want to be when I grow up. Now I have to figure out WHO I want to be!

The time and effort I put into self improvement between 40 to 60 is going to greatly impact how I feel (and how I move) 60+. I want to take care of her and have her enjoy everything she’s worked hard for. I’m reflecting back on everything I put my body through in that first 40 years. It’s been through some sh$t and stuck with me! So here’s my “to-do list” as I hit 40:

1. Add strength and cardio. Research shows this helps with perimenopause symptoms and is important for bone density. I’m a Yogi but balance is key in life! My dirty secret? I hate cardio!!!!! DM me if you have any creative ways to add this into my routine.

2. Getting on top of my nutrition. We’re entering a new stage as a family. The kids have joined plenty of sports and meals are often eaten in the car! I need healthy, fast ideas!

3. I never saw this one coming! Volunteering for a mammogram! But did you know the cancer rates in Canada are 2 in 5?!? women can now self refer for a mammogram at 40.

4. Checking on my hormone levels. Well not necessary for everyone when they hit 40. I’ve been on a roller coaster since having my kids. Perimenopause starts much earlier than many expect. We need to advocate for ourselves! It’s often overlooked. I’ve brought this up recently with my own MD and they changed the subject… twice. Well many MDs are wonderful a Naturopath can also help guide you. Any local recommendations?

5. Self love. I’m getting smile lines!….Not wrinkles!… I’m calling them “Smile lines” and I’m gonna wear them as a badge of honour and keep smiling! I have a lot to be thankful for and I’m gonna start reflecting on this daily.

Anything I missed? Any advice from those who’ve hit this milestone?

Happy Family Day from the Wilson’s! We celebrated this year at Winterlude. It’s my annual attempt to embrace winter 😆!!

Thank you Flow Physio + Wellness and Lululemon! Such a fun experience with some amazing women in our community!

This morning I got to experience such a fun aspect of being a ambassador!

I was able to pick 3 people in my community to celebrate with a super fun morning of connection, coffee and gifts (3 of my fav things!!)

It was SO hard to choose only 3 people as our community is full of such kind humans who support our clinic and our run club and each other and exemplify everything I value within my business and life - movement, fun, empowerment!

I’d love to give a little shout out to these 3 women and why they were each gifted with this experience

the ROCK of our clinic, she is not only a fantastic physio and pelvic floor physio who is constantly signing up for continuing education courses and wanting to learn all.the.things to help people the most (lol) she is also a certified yoga teacher and her calming energy perfectly matches my chaos and I’m so happy to have her educating our community on their physical health and wellness 🤍

my friend, fav person to voice note, and co-founder of without her, our community run club and events wouldn’t be what they are, she thinks BIG and the ripple effect of her ideas in real life has been so amazing to witness and be a part of.

our run club guru and always bringing the best and most supportive coaching energy to Clarington Run Club. I’ve learned so much from her in both running mindset and skill. She shows up to every run club event and meet even if she isn’t running herself! Our #1 supporter, we are so grateful for you!

And thank you thank you thank you to for allowing me an opportunity to celebrate these incredible members of our community!

I came across these great examples of variations in normal hip anatomy. Thanks https://paulgrilley.com for making them shareable! These are great examples of why different individuals may naturally have very different mobility compared to others.

This is why I remind patients that frequently mobilizing your body beats aggressively stretching every time. In the end you’ll achieve YOUR best mobility in a safer and faster manner.

Once upon a time I tried a lotus pose too early in my yoga journey and damaged my meniscus. Injury by ego! I’m competitive by nature! In reality, the anatomy of many hips just aren’t designed for this pose. I had to chip away at it slowly knowing I would have to stop wherever my body told me too.

In the last picture, I’m showing off what I can accomplish when I check my “athlete brain” at the door. I had to learn to improve my mobility in a safe manner respecting my body’s abilities.

I’m so excited to announce that I have been working away to complete my yoga teacher training!!

Why I chose to become a yoga teacher??

My first reason was for myself. Those who know me won’t be surprised to learn that I love being a student. It would be difficult to continue practicing yoga without submersing myself.

It was also a natural progression of the aspects of being a physiotherapist that I love so much. In both orthopaedics and pelvic health, I find myself delving deeper and deeper into mobility and breath work to help my patients fully. Yoga is an amazing way to compliment the hands-on joint mobilization’s and soft tissue release techniques I’ve spent so many years learning.

The knowledge of a physiotherapist can also remove barriers to participation in yoga for people with many injuries or various abilities.

I’m so excited for this next step in my career and journey! I can’t wait to begin offering one-on-one sessions and group pelvic health yoga classes!

More info coming soon!

Rachel Wilson PT and RYT!!!
