Awaken Pelvic Therapy

Ehler's-Danlos Syndrome, or EDS, is so real and it is so complicated. I look for symptoms of hypermobility with every single client and here is what I look for:

- Are you double jointed or superflexible?
- Are your muscles always tight?
- Do you bruise easy?
- Are you clumsy, or run into walls?
- Are you thirsty all the time, but water doesn't help?
- Do you sleep all curled up?
- Do you get all the weird side effects that "less than 10% of people get"?

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I can help you understand your body better and learn how to protect and relax. I will take a bold statement and say that I think all people with EDS or hypermobility should stop stretching because stretching doesn't help.

If you want to work with a physical therapist who specializes not only in pelvic floor issues but also in Ehler's-Danlos Syndrome, you came to the right place.

At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we know how to help you, because we have helped hundreds of people who are just like you.

Let’s Talk About It — Perimenopause & Menopause

Somewhere along the way, women were told to “just deal with it.”
The hot flashes. The night sweats. The brain fog. The anxiety that wasn’t there before. The sleep that suddenly disappeared.

But here’s the truth — perimenopause and menopause are real, and they deserve to be talked about. Too often, women are dismissed, downplayed, or told it’s “just part of getting older.”

At Apothecary & Co, we see you. We hear you. And we want you to know:
🌿 You’re not crazy.
🌿 You’re not alone.
🌿 And you don’t have to just live with it.

Your hormones tell a story — one worth understanding, not silencing. Whether it’s through lifestyle changes, nutrition, or personalized support, there are ways to feel like yourself again.

🩵 Let’s keep breaking the silence together.

Tomorrow is Superhero day, some people would pick the ability to fly, or to become invisible, or to have superhuman strength. I will always pick a well-regulated nervous system for my superpower.

If I can regulate my own nervous system, it keeps me out of fight-or-flight. It keeps me from freaking out over the smallest thing. It helps me to sleep better.

A well-regulated nervous system also helps my pelvic floor because when you are in fight-or-flight, your pelvic floor tends to be tight. That can lead to pain, leaking urine, and constipation.

At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we will help you with your pelvic floor AND your nervous system because the two are so closely connected. So now that you know my super power, what would YOUR super power be?

A lot of people are really nervous with going to pelvic floor physical therapy because they have no idea what to expect. Here is what it's like at Awaken Pelvic Therapy...

We will greet you as soon as you come in and go over just a few housekeeping things like where the bathroom is and frequently asked questions.

Koleen will personally take you back to our treatment space.

Then you get to tell your story. What symptoms are you having? What brings you here? What are your goals?

Then Koleen will look at your movement, your balance, your strength, your posture.

Then we can move into an internal assessment. This is not required, but it does give us a clear picture of what is actually happening with your pelvic floor muscles. We will ask permission to do every single step along the way.

Then we start with treatment. Yes, you get things you can start working on at home from the very first day. These are all highly individualized to you.

Before you leave, we will go over everything we found and what our plan is to help you meet your goals. When you leave, you will know what is going on and how we are going to help you.

We will help set up your next appointment and answer all your questions.

You have the final say over what happens during all your appointments. If you don't like an exercise, let us know and we can change it.

That's it. Such a simple process for a complex problem. We want you to understand what is happening with your body. We want you to feel safe in our office.

We want to help you get your life back.

What if your spouse didn’t have to live with that?

What if the constant bathroom trips…
The pain with intimacy…
The back/hip tension…
The “just deal with it” symptoms…

…weren’t just part of life?

Because when one person is struggling, it doesn’t just affect them, it affects your relationship, your routines, your connection.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just about one person’s body.
It can change how you show up for each other. Less pain. More confidence. More ease in everyday life. And yes… even a better relationship.

You don’t have to keep navigating this alone. We’re here to help.
Call or text us anytime at (810)656-9862 to ask questions or to set up an appointment.

My client told me this week "I learned more in our first three visits than I did in all the pelvic floor therapy I had years ago."

You should have a pelvic floor PT who you feel comfortable talking about all the TMI stuff.

You should have a pelvic floor PT who teaches you something new at every visit.

You should have a pelvic floor PT who looks at your issues as if you are a whole person, because, well, you ARE a whole person.

You should have a pelvic floor PT who is confident they can help you, but also can admit when they don't know the answer.

If you have been to pelvic floor PT before, and it didn't work for you, please try someone else. Please.

There is so much benefit to pelvic floor PT, and I cringe when I hear someone say that it didn't work for them.

At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we strive to do all these things. We are constantly working to improve our skills to help you get your best life back.

We would love to help you! Call or text us anytime (810)656-9862.

“I was very skeptical when I was referred by my urologist… but Koleen was great!”

Honestly? I get it. Pelvic floor PT can feel unfamiliar, a little intimidating, and sometimes even a last resort.
That’s why this matters so much:

✨ Feeling safe
✨ Feeling heard
✨ Being treated as a whole person, not just a diagnosis

That’s exactly what we’re about at Awaken.

If you’ve been on the fence, unsure, or a little skeptical yourself… you’re not alone. And you’re welcome here, anytime. Call or text us anytime (810)656-9862.

I have a client who is leaking when she jumps rope, but she can do box jumps and burp*es all day long without any issues. Weird right? NOPE! We looked at HOW she was jumping rope and have been able to completely fix her issue.

True statement: As as adult, you should never p*e your pants, no matter what type of activity you are doing.

So don't stop doing the activities you want to do, instead, fix the leaking issue.

Awaken Pelvic Therapy is a pelvic floor physical therapy office located in Lap*er where we look at you as a whole person. We look at not only what your pelvic floor is doing, but also how your whole body moves.

Call or text us anytime and ask us your pelvic floor questions! (810)656-9862

Who should hire a doula? Answer, any mom who wants one! But some births especially benefit from doula support including first-time moms, inductions, single moms (or moms with partners who are absent), moms with a history of trauma, first-time home birthers, or moms who want a better birth and newborn experience❤️❤️

We serve all of southeast MI and are always excited to connect with a mom ready to experience care and excellence in her birth space.

Diastasis Recti is when your abdominal muscles separate. It usually happens with pregnancy, and for some people, these muscles pull back together on their own. But for some of us, the muscles stay separated even 6 months after delivery.

This happens because the muscles aren't given the chance to go back together, usually because of how you are breathing, your posture or pressure in your abdomen. So doing a bunch of crunches or sit ups is not going to fix your problem.

You need a pelvic floor physical therapist who can help you to get your body back to normal after having a baby. Awaken Pelvic Therapy is a pelvic floor physical therapy office located in Lap*er that specializes in helping you with your diastais recti.

We can help with postpartum healing, strength, leaking and pain. Call or text us anytime at (810)656-9862 to ask questions or to set up an appointment.
