At my pelvic floor assessment, Dr. Alicia Keefe told me the most common topic clinic is individuals having pain with s*x. We had a great discussion about this common concern, and here are three factors we talked about that may contribute to pain with s*x.

💪🏼 Musculoskeletal issues - physically tight muscles in the pelvic floor from lifestyle or injuries

🧠 Neuromuscular issues - psychological issues from past traumas causing pelvic floor tightness

🧪 Hormonal issues - imbalances from hormonal changes during pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause that affect pelvic tissue

Preparing before s*x using a dilator, vi****or, or diaphragmatic breathing may all help alleviate some of the painful symptoms. I highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist for an assessment and guidance and more personalized solutions!💗

Thank you to and Dr. Alicia Keefe for an informative and insightful pelvic floor evaluation-Alicia is an amazing pelvic floor therapist if you need one!💗

During my appointment, we discussed many questions that pop up frequently in my practice and in aging men and women—including painful s*x, peeing in the middle of the night, bladder symptoms, bowel movements, bathroom mechanics, and even male pelvic floors🚽

After our initial discussion where I got so many questions answered, Dr. Keefe game me a physical pelvic floor exam to assess the strength, tension, coordination, and any potential pain of my pelvic floor muscles. It didn’t hurt and felt good to know that I’m functioning well in my pelvic area.

Seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist can help identify pelvic muscle dysfunction, find other contributing factors (tight back, hips, core), and diagnose specific conditions like urinary leakage, pain during s*x, constipation, prolapse, and postpartum issues🔎

Even if you’re not dealing with any of these issues, visiting a pelvic floor therapist is still beneficial to learn more about your body and how it functions.

Thank you again to Dr. Alicia Keefe for this enlightening experience!

Happy 2026! I hope you all had a restful & rejuvenating holiday season!🫶🏼

To kick off the new year, I wanted to share two classes I’m putting on in collaboration with Washington Metro Oasis.

The first session in February is Make Happiness a Habit🌞
“Discover the top 10 traits that happy people share and learn why these qualities make such a big difference in how we feel every day. We’ll explore simple ways to build positive habits and follow through to boost personal well-being. Together, we’ll talk, share ideas, and create your own Personal Happiness Plan that’s easy to weave into everyday life.”

The second session in March is How to Improve Your Relationship with Your Adult Children👥
“All relationships can be tricky, and parent–child relationships often come with their own unique history and emotions. In this session, we’ll talk about common family challenges and share practical ways to handle tough dynamics with more understanding and care. We’ll also explore how healthy boundaries and mutual respect can help us strengthen and even repair important relationships.”

Here is my little August break recap!☀️

As many of you know, I always take off the month of August from work to relax, recharge, and refresh. This break allows me to spend more time with my family when their schedules are a bit calmer, do more fun activities that bring me a lot of joy (reading, writing, kayaking biking), and it helps me return as a better therapist come September.

Although this August I didn’t spend as much time lounging around as usual, it was filled with so many highlights & great memories.

👯‍♀️Quality time with my 2 adult daughters
🌊Time in Annapolis-my happy place!
🇵🇹Helping my daughter move to Portugal

Let me know in the comments what your August looked like!⬇️💛
