Pregnant? Holistic Pelvic Floor PT supports more than just your muscles—it nurtures your nervous system, baby, and birth.

By tuning into your body with breathwork, bodywork, and nervous system care, we help regulate the vagus nerve—your body’s key to connection, safety, and labor ease.

When you feel supported, your pelvic floor can release tension and trust. This is powerful preparation for birth and beyond. 🌿💛 You deserve care that honors your whole self. Ready to feel more connected, calm, and empowered? Let’s begin your journey together.

I am so excited to announce our July Spotlight, Rise Chiropractic and Nutrition!

is a practice I’ve collaborated with for years and I really love how they combine competence, compassion and holistic care. This practice does a great job of pairing with PT to help support the nervous system so that your muscles can better hear the signals your nerves are sending and actually use the strength and mobility that your body has.

Please see below to learn more about this wonderful practice serving our community:

Name: The Rise Team: Dr. Nicole Short, Owner & Chiropractor; Jay Short, Owner & Dietitian; Dr. Courtney Kincer, Chiropractor; Emily Johnson, Office Assistant

Field of Expertise: Comprehensive chiropractic care and nutrition coaching with specialized training in women’s health, stress management, and integrative wellness that addresses movement, nutrition, mindset, and recovery as interconnected pillars of health.

Who do you help (your ideal client): We work with busy, active people who are tired of feeling like they’re constantly managing symptoms instead of actually thriving. Whether you’re juggling work deadlines and family responsibilities, training for your next race, or navigating major life transitions, we’re here for people who want sustainable wellness that fits their real life. Many of our practice members come to us dealing with things like chronic tension, pelvic pain, digestive issues, or that feeling of being “stuck” in their health journey. We specialize in helping people who know they deserve better than cookie cutter care.

I am so excited to share Erin McCaffery Crespo with you! Erin is a nurse practitioner turned birth doula and lactation consultant supporting families in Columbus, Ohio. I absolutely love Erin’s combination of knowledge, love, and compassion for birthing people and their families and her desire to help birthing people and families feel empowered in their birth experience. Please check out more about Erin below:

Name: Erin McCaffrey Crespo

Practice/Business Name: Thrive Doula Services

Field of Expertise: nurse practitioner turned birth doula, reproductive health educator, and lactation consultant

Who do you help (your ideal client): people seeking no BS, evidence based support as they grow their families

What do you love about what you do: I get to support people through the most transformative days of their lives! There is truly nothing like watching someone bring a new baby earthside, and then getting to watch that family find their footing and thrive through the transition to parenthood.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received: From a college friend who had her first baby a few months before me…”your partner isn’t the enemy; THE BABY IS THE ENEMY.” 🤣

What other field/profession do you most closely work with: How much time do you have?! I am a firm believer in building your pregnancy and parenthood village, as we were never supposed to raise our babies alone. As a doula and childbirth educator, one of my biggest jobs is connecting clients with the support they need for whatever challenges they are facing. Among others, I’m regularly talking to midwives and doctors, pelvic PT/OT, nutrition and mental health pros, chiropractors, pediatricians and pediatric PT/OT, massage therapists and acupuncturists, birth photographers, postpartum doulas, breastfeeding medicine doctors, and the list goes on and on…

Whether you’re curious about common pelvic issues or how emotions manifest physically, this is an episode packed with eye-opening insights for both women and men.

Introducing our May Spotlight, Alyssa Broadwater

is an incredible dietician in our area who specializes in nutrition and its impact on fertility, pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Alyssa has been a go-to source for anyone looking to conceive and trying to manage infertility, PCOS, or endometriosis. She is a wonderful resource for making sure you’re getting in enough of the right nutrients during pregnancy to help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia and she is fantastic at helping get people on track for tissue healing and energy recovery during the postpartum period. I am so eager to share more about how knowledgeable Alyssa is this month! Please see more about Alyssa below:

Practice/Business Name: Alyssa Broadwater RD

Field of Expertise: Nutrition

Who do you help (your ideal client): Women and couples on their fertility journey, currently pregnant, or postpartum. Because we focus on fertility, we also focus a lot on hormone related conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, and thyroid dysfunction for clients even if not interested in fertility.

What do you love about what you do: Helping people take their health into their own hands again and giving them the tools they need to live healthfully for the rest of their lives. I absolutely love helping women have such a positive effect on the health of the future generation.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received: No one can ever care about your health more than you can. To me, this is empowering and helpful to realize we have to take control of our own health.

What other field/profession do you most closely work with: #1 is PTs. I truly recommend almost 100% of my pregnant and postpartum clients see a pelvic health PT.

It’s such a privilege and joy to see my clients step into their whole being.

Personal note: I love fantasy. It’s my kryptonite 🤷🏻‍♀️

That being said, I was so excited to start reading by last night and was surprised to see that what I’m guessing will be my favorite line of the whole book was at the beginning.

To set the scene. Our main character, Violet, lost someone close to her in a recent battle. Her friend is recovering from a serious injury sustained in the same battle. Her friend is lamenting his situation and then apologizes to Violet for being upset when she must be going through so much with her grief.

This was Violets response. And it is beautiful.

Pain comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s visible. Many times it’s not. Sometimes it’s short term and sometimes it’s long lasting.

Your pain cannot be compared to others and theirs cannot be compared to yours.

Your pain from your past cannot be compared to your pain now.

No one, including you, can invalidate your pain. Your pain is real AND there are ways to overcome it by.

Whether your pain is mental, physical, emotional, and oftentimes a combination of all 3, there are ways to overcome it. That may be through professional healthcare support. It may be your close network of friends and family. It may be a new community you build or join. It may be your own inner strength. And again, it’s often a combination.

But pain is very personal and unique to you in the specific moment. With so much going on when pain is present, there’s no room for judgement or comparison.
