Each of these steps is something we work on in pelvic floor PT—no one-size-fits-all advice, just tailored care based on your goals and body.

Let’s get your body ready, together! DM me for more info or sign up using the link in my bio.

Doing kegels on your own? Read this first.

The advice to do kegels are everywhere - but that doesn’t mean they’re right for YOU.

As someone that sees ALL the moms - pregnant, preparing for labor, right after a C-section, years after having their baby - the complete lack of support that I constantly see and hear about makes me SO upset.

I see the moms who are now dealing with complications that they wouldn’t have had if they had more support. I also see the moms that have been dealing with unnecessary symptoms for YEARS. It really really bothers me and I would love to understand why our system is like this.

As a mom myself, I’m lucky enough to be a pelvic floor therapist and know all the things I wish other moms knew. I’m aware of this blessing I have - and it’s why I try so hard to get the word out to other moms that it doesn’t have to be this way.

In honor of Mothers Day I’ll be offering a 10% discount for ALL of my services both in person and virtual. This includes Physical Therapy consults, birth preparation sessions (vaginal and C-section), and C-section scar sessions. This discount is valid only for sessions scheduled through the end of July with spaces limited and I won’t be having another discount until the holidays. If interested, please either comment “mom” in the comment section or as a DM so that I can provide you with more info ♥️

Pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy is one of the most empowering things you can do — not just to treat symptoms, but to prevent them, prepare for birth, and feel more connected to your body every step of the way.

Whether you’re in the first trimester or approaching your due date, a pelvic floor PT can help you:
✨ Stay comfortable
✨ Move confidently
✨ Prepare for labor
✨ Reduce pelvic floor trauma
✨ Set yourself up for smoother postpartum recovery

This isn’t luxury care — it’s smart, informed, and proactive care.
If you’re pregnant or planning to be, consider this your sign to reach out to a pelvic floor PT.

If you’re currently pregnant or postpartum, did you go see a pelvic floor PT? Curious to know if it helped you! ♥️

Your pelvic floor isn’t just along for the ride during labor - it plays an active role in helping your baby enter the world.

From stretching to coordinating with your breath, your pelvic floor is doing some serious behind-the-scenes work. Understanding these roles helps you feel more connected and confident in your body’s incredible design.

Pelvic floor PT can help with preparing the pelvic floor for all of the roles mentioned in the slides. I offer both in-person (at home or in office) and virtual birth preparation to help get your pelvic floor ready for labor. DM me for details!

Now that I’m halfway through, I want to keep it real with you all on how my second pregnancy is going! Wanted to share what I’ve been experiencing and some of my thoughts 😊

Lots of differences between pregnancy #1 and #2. Not just physically but emotionally as well.
I’m having more pelvic floor symptoms this time around in terms of incontinence. The pelvic girdle pain started around the same time as last pregnancy (in case you didn’t know, I’ve had two hip surgeries on the same side which I think make it harder for me to keep these symptoms at bay when I’m pregnant). Just because I’m a pelvic floor PT doesn’t mean I’m immune to the same things that I help all of you treat! I just know how to manage the symptoms without external help lol.

And in terms of emotionally, I was initially super overwhelmed and scared with how to handle pregnancy with a super young baby (I got pregnant before I hit 9 months postpartum 😬). I also was nervous because I didn’t feel like my body was anywhere close to strong enough yet for another pregnancy (I definitely do think that I’m more symptomatic this time around because that is true). First trimester was also ROUGH since I just had zero downtime to rest and to just feel sick (so I was right to fear that part lol). But now in my second trimester that’s all A LOT better. I’m still super tired but that’s just being a mom am I right? 😅

Although I’m a bit nervous to have a newborn in conjunction with a 17 month old, I’m letting myself start to feel excited as well. It helps that I’ve been feeling baby girl now so I’m starting to connect with her more 🥰 Nursery slow going since we have to organize and sell most of our gym equipment but we’re getting there! Overall I feel super blessed to have such an amazing little boy and to now be able to give him a little sister 🥹♥️

From leaning with a sneeze to pain with intimacy, your body is always communicating with you - even if no one ever taught you what to listen for. These 5 symptoms are just a few common signs that your pelvic floor might need support.

Pelvic floor PT isn’t just for after birth or for “serious” problems. If you see yourself in even one of these, you deserve care that meets who where you are.

Any of these surprised you? I’d love to hear what no one told you about pelvic floor health!

A C-Section is a major abdominal surgery but for some reason women receive less information and support those first few weeks post surgery compared to other abdominal surgeries.

As a Physical Therapist that used to work within the hospital system and would be sent to see most patients that underwent abdominal surgeries (but NEVER women after C-Sections), the information mentioned in this post are all things I would teach my patients day ONE after surgery.

Now as a Women’s Health PT I often have women months (or years) after their C-Section wishing they were given better tools for how to handle those first few weeks after surgery.

I offer a session to go over the tips mentioned in this post BEFORE a C-Section takes place (if it’s scheduled) and/or a session to go over the house (or virtually) to practice these techniques AFTER the C-Section.

Women after C-Sections deserve the same level of care as any other patient. Raise your hand if you agree! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’ve been keeping a secret 🤭 A baby girl will be joining our family end of summer! James was skeptical until he had some cake ♥️

Did you know that postpartum exercise recommendations have evolved (and continue to do so) with new research? Some classic guidelines were based on overly cautious approaches that are now no longer considered to be the best advice for both for vaginal deliveries and C-sections.

Did any of these surprise you? Did you follow any of these guidelines? Let me know in the comments!

These bad habits are extremely common so don’t feel bad or panic if you’re guilty of one (or a few) of them! And doing it every now and then isn’t a problem - it’s when it’s done repeatedly (hello bad habit!) that it begins to affect the pelvic floor.

Are you guilty of any of these? I wanna know!

These four tips are usually accessible ways to decrease the chances of complications during labor and delivery. It’s recommended to discuss these with your medical team prior to and during delivery so that everyone is on the same page.

These should all be options as long as there are no active complications occurring with you or baby.

If you have given birth prior, did you try any of these? How did it go for you?
