Honoured to be speaking at the Climax Conference in Ottawa tomorrow 💛

As a pelvic health physiotherapist and women’s health educator, my work has always been about helping women understand their bodies without fear, shame, or confusion.
Because when we learn about our bodies, we start owning them — with confidence.

This panel on V***a & Vaginal Health is more than a discussion.
It’s a step toward normalizing conversations that should have always been normal.

Let’s learn.
Let’s talk openly.
Let’s break the silence together. 🌿

See you tomorrow, Ottawa 🤍

🏆🇮🇳 World Cup Champions!
Team India didn’t just win a match — they won hearts, history, and hope.

To every girl watching from the stands, from living rooms, from classrooms…
This is your reminder:
Strength comes in many forms.
Consistency matters.
Discipline matters.
Dreams are allowed to be big.
And you are allowed to take up space.

Today, we celebrate cricket.
Tomorrow, we celebrate every woman who dares to step into the arena — in sports, work, health, or life.

Here’s to the champions we cheer for — and the champions we are becoming. ✨

🇮🇳💙 Congratulations, India!

𝐆𝐑𝐖𝐌: 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲… 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩. ✨

Some days it’s just about doing your hair and stepping out.
Other days, it’s reminding yourself why you do this work in the first place.

When I get ready for clinic, I’m not just preparing for appointments —
I’m preparing to meet real women…
Women carrying silent questions, quiet fears, unspoken discomforts.

The world teaches us to whisper about our bodies.
But here, we say things out loud — periods, pelvic pain, intimacy, postpartum changes, the parts of us no one prepares us for.

So yes — this is a GRWM.
But it’s also a reminder:
When we show up for ourselves, we make it easier for others to show up too. 🫶

Let’s make sure our girls and women grow with confidence — not confusion. 🤍

You think haunted houses are scary? Try sneezing with a weak pelvic floor 😱💧

Every year around this time, we talk about ghosts, monsters, and things that go bump in the night… but you know what’s really haunting women everywhere?
👉 Bladder leaks
👉 Pelvic pain
👉 Core weakness
👉 And pretending it’s all “just part of getting older.”

Spoiler alert: it’s not. 👻

The real horror story is how long so many women suffer in silence, scared to talk about what’s actually going on “down there.” But here’s the good news, your pelvic floor doesn’t need a séance. It needs support. 🙌

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, we see it every day, women who go from being terrified of movement, laughter, or even intimacy… to feeling strong, confident, and in control again.

So this Halloween, let’s break a different kind of curse: the one that keeps us quiet about our bodies. 🩷

Don’t let bladder leaks haunt you. Don’t let pain scare you.
And definitely don’t ghost your pelvic floor, it deserves some love too. 😉

Take this as your spooky season reminder:
You can fix the “pelvic scaries” ,and we are here to help. 💪

She asked softly — her little hands gripping mine, eyes full of innocence and hope.

I smiled. “𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭… 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥.”

It’s a promise — not just to her, but to every little girl who’s ever been told to stay quiet, to hide her pain, to whisper instead of speak.

Every time we talk openly about our bodies, our health, our journeys — we move one step closer to that world. 🌿

The future we dream of isn’t far. It’s being built every day — in conversations, in classrooms, in clinics, and in hearts that choose courage over silence.

White discharge is totally normal — it’s your body’s natural way of cleaning and protecting your va**na.
But if it’s 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤, 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐲,, that could be your body’s way of saying something’s off — like an infection, pH imbalance, or hormonal change.
💬 Don’t ignore it, understand it.
Your discharge tells a story — you just need to listen.
👉 Share this with a friend who needs to hear it.

I had my pregnancy after 35 — and that’s when I first heard the term “𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲.”

Like… seriously? I half expected them to hand me a senior discount card along with my ultrasound.

But here’s what I learned:
✨ With the right care, regular monitoring, a healthy lifestyle, and support — it’s absolutely possible to have a safe, beautiful pregnancy.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝?
❌ People judging our choices.
❌ Comments about “biological clocks.”
❌ Society deciding the “right time” for us.

Every path to motherhood is different.
⏳ There’s no universal timeline.
💪 There’s no expiry date on strength.
💛 And there’s no one-size-fits-all journey.

Trust your body. Trust your choices.
Because the only label that matters in the end is “mom.” 🤍

𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐲 — 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬.
But what we rarely talk about is the silence that follows the celebration.

Many new mothers experience postpartum depression — a deep emotional and physical struggle that can make even the simplest moments feel overwhelming.
It’s not “just mood swings.” It’s exhaustion that doesn’t fade, tears that don’t stop, and emotions that don’t make sense.

𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥.
It’s a condition caused by hormonal changes, fatigue, and emotional stress after childbirth.
And yet, too many women suffer in silence — afraid to speak up, afraid of judgment.

💚 This , let’s change that.
Let’s remind every mother:
You’re not weak.
You’re not failing.
You’re transforming.

Your mental health matters just as much as your physical recovery.
So if you’re struggling — reach out, talk, seek help.
And if you know a new mom — listen without judgment, support without hesitation.

🩸 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬, 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩… 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞?

Your menstrual cycle isn’t just a date on the calendar —
it’s your body’s built-in blueprint.
It shapes your energy, mood, skin, focus, and how you show up every single day.

✨ When you track your cycle, you’re not just logging symptoms —
you’re learning how to sync with your body instead of fighting it.

Rest when your body needs softness.

Push when your energy is at its peak.

Plan like a pro, because you know your flow.

This isn’t just “period tracking.”
This is owning your rhythm.
Your hormones aren’t the enemy — they’re your superpower. 💪🌸

👉 Save this for later—you’ll want these reminders on tough days.
