Here’s what nobody tells you about chronic v***ar pain: those tight pelvic floor muscles everyone keeps talking about? They’re not the problem. They’re reacting to something else.

Dee Hartmann spent 30 years treating women with v***ar pain in her Chicago practice, and she discovered something crucial - you can’t just treat the v***a. That old tailbone injury, those recurring yeast infections, even how you breathe - it’s all connected.

In this episode, Dee explains:
✨ Why your pelvic floor muscles are responding to other issues in your body
✨ The five exercises that can decrease pain immediately (yes, before s*x or pelvic exams)
✨ How pleasure - actual pleasure - might be the missing piece in your healing
✨ What physical therapy should actually feel like (hint: it shouldn’t cause more pain)

One thing that really stuck with me: Dee talks about how women would come to her after being told “there’s nothing else we can do.” But that was never true. There were always more options, more connections to explore, more tools to try.

If you’re dealing with v***ar pain and feeling hopeless, this conversation will shift how you think about your body.

Two yoga programs. Both start January 27th.

Most prenatal yoga classes focus on relaxation and gentle stretching. Most postpartum yoga promises to help you "bounce back."

We're not doing either of those things.

PRENATAL YOGA WITH NICOLE SMITH, RPT Tuesdays 7-8pm | 6 weeks starting Jan 27th |

Nicole designed this program to give you stability, strength, and mobility balanced specifically for what your body needs during pregnancy AND what it will demand during labor. Each class starts with a mini education session because understanding the biomechanics of what's happening changes how you move through pregnancy. We end with meditation because your mindset around pain and labor expectations impacts your experience just as much as your physical preparation.

MOM & BABY YOGA WITH DANIELLE DOWNEY, RMT Tuesdays 10-11am | 6 weeks starting Jan 27th

Danielle creates an informal yoga environment where your baby can be themselves and so can you. Some days your baby will be content. Other days they won't. Both scenarios are completely normal and welcome here.

The focus is reconnecting with your body through breath and safe, effective movement. You'll work on core stability (rebuilding strength in muscles that forgot how to fire), upper body release from all the feeding and carrying, relaxation techniques, and emotional grounding. This class restores both strength and the ability to actually relax, two things postpartum bodies desperately need but rarely get.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

Both programs are led by registered practitioners (Registered Physiotherapist and Registered Massage Therapist). Both happen in our Nest space where bodies are respected and supported at every stage.

Registration is open now. Classes start January 27th and run for 6 weeks.

Ever feel like your body is working against you?

Jenn Mansell gets it. She spent her childhood chronically ill with severe eczema, allergies, and asthma. Tried every conventional treatment. Tried every alternative cleanse. Nothing worked because she was caught in stress loops that kept her stuck in fear and disconnection from her body.

Then she found breathwork.

Here’s what nobody tells you: stress lives in your body as tension. When you breathe fully and intentionally, that tension has to release. You’re not just managing symptoms anymore. You’re shifting your nervous system, accessing stuck emotions, and reconnecting to the intelligence your body already has.

In this episode, Jenn breaks down what’s actually happening physiologically during breathwork and why it’s showing up in conversations with neuroscientists, physiotherapists, and psychotherapists. We talk about breathwork for pain management, pelvic floor dysfunction, trauma release, and how something as simple as breathing can become your most powerful tool for regulation.

If you’ve been living in your head, trying to control your body, scared of what might happen next, this conversation will shift something in you.

What a year. 🫐

As I watch this reel, I'm reminded that Blueberry Therapy isn't just a clinic — it's proof that when you refuse to whisper about pelvic health, incredible things happen.
2025 brought us:

🎙️ 66 episodes of The Hole Shebang Podcast (yes, we talked about money, s*x, bladder function, and everything in between)
🎉 Our FIRST Pleasure Principle Conference on May 30th — 150+ healthcare professionals gathered to make s*xual health the healthcare priority it deserves to be
💪 Brilliant new team members: Madi Grande, Megan Pettit, and Priya Patel joined our mission to break taboos and build community
👟Running to support Fertility with the amazing staff including Amy St. John who went on to run a full marathon to support Childhood Cancer
🚶‍♀️ Behind-the-scenes magic: Kelty McNab keeping the clinic running like a well-oiled machine (literally walking the streets with me discussing pelvic floors)
🗣️ Say Va**na Month — because your body parts deserve to be named without shame

To every patient who drove from near and far, every clinician who trusted us with referrals, every person who walked through our doors refusing to accept "that's just normal" — thank you. You're not just clients. You're part of a movement.

2025 was the year we got louder, built a movement, and proved that refusing to accept "normal" changes everything.

Here's to carrying this energy into 2026. 💙

2025: The Year We Got Louder 🫐

Watching this reel on repeat and honestly? Overwhelmed with gratitude.

This year, we didn’t just run a clinic. We built a movement. And none of it happens without YOU.

Here’s what refusing to accept “normal” looks like:

🎙️ 66 episodes of The Hole Shebang Podcast (Gillian Stovel Rivers talking MONEY and pelvic health? Chef’s kiss)
🎉 The very first Pleasure Principle Conference — 150+ healthcare professionals centering pleasure as vital healthcare
👶 Baby Gracie (Megan Abbott’s little Blueberry!)
💪 New brilliant humans: Madi Grande, Megan Pettit, Priya Patel
🗣️ Say Va**na Month — proper anatomical language isn’t radical, it’s NECESSARY
📦 Products that actually work: IRIS lubricants, Womanizer, FemmeSense
🚶‍♀️ Teamwork at its best — Kelty McNab makes the clinic run like a well-oiled machine (yes, we walk the streets talking pelvic floors)
🎲 Poker nights, myth-busting Reels, and all the behind-the-scenes moments reminding us we’re human first

This is what happens when we refuse to settle. When we name body parts without flinching. When we create space for conversations nobody else is having.

2026? We’re just getting started. Louder. Bolder. More unapologetic.

To everyone who showed up this year — thank you. You’re the reason this work matters. 💕

There’s nothing magical about six weeks postpartum.

And according to the brand new 2025 Canadian Postpartum Exercise Guidelines, that arbitrary checkpoint has been completely removed from the recommendations. 🎉

Dr. Margie Davenport, the exercise physiologist leading this research at the University of Alberta, is changing everything we thought we knew about moving our bodies during pregnancy and postpartum.

Here’s what actually matters:
• Your individual healing journey (not a calendar date)
• Screening for barriers like pelvic floor dysfunction and mental health
• Gradual, symptom-based progression that respects YOUR body
• Starting slow and building to 120 minutes of moderate activity per week

And here’s the mic-drop moment: her research found that people who continued lifting heavy during pregnancy (yes, over 80% of their 1RM) had a 51% reduction in adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to those who followed outdated “don’t lift over 20 pounds” advice.

Whether you’re currently pregnant, in your postpartum journey, or planning for it down the road, this conversation will give you the evidence-based confidence to move your body in ways that actually support your health.

Let’s talk about something that affects 85% of women but hardly anyone is discussing openly.

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) isn’t just va**nal dryness. It’s painful s*x, recurrent UTIs, waking up multiple times at night to p*e, and feeling like you’re falling apart when you’re actually just experiencing the effects of declining estrogen.

Dr. Daiana Castleman, naturopath and menopause expert, sat down with me to break down:
🔹 Why your “UTI symptoms” might actually be GSM
🔹 How estrogen loss changes your va**nal and urinary microbiome
🔹 Why waking up 3-4 times a night to p*e is NOT normal aging
🔹 The surprising connection between sleep apnea and menopause (hint: women don’t always snore)

Here’s what hit me hard: GSM is chronic and progressive. It doesn’t get better on its own. But with the right support—va**nal estrogen, pelvic floor physio, proper assessment—we can actually prevent symptoms from getting worse and improve quality of life dramatically.

You don’t have to just accept these changes. There’s so much we can do.

Do you know the difference between your v***a and your va**na?

“The v***a is the part of your body that touches your underwear. Anything on the inside is the va**na.” - Kathryn Flanigan

Most of us were never taught the actual anatomy of our own bodies. We don’t have the words. We were told not to look. And now? We don’t know what’s normal and what needs attention.

Nurse practitioner Kathryn Flanigan started noticing her elderly patients couldn’t describe the changes happening to their v***as—not because they were uncomfortable, but because they literally didn’t have the language. So she became the person talking about it.

In this episode we cover:
🌸 V***a vs va**na (yes, they’re different)
🌸 Why “va**na head” became a creative insult in Kathryn’s household
🌸 How to actually care for v***ar skin (hint: ditch the scented soap)
🌸 What’s normal aging vs what needs treatment
🌸 Teaching kids anatomically correct terms without the weirdness

This is the education we should have gotten decades ago.
