🎉ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m honored to be speaking at the “Naturally Mending Mamas” virtual conference starting March 21st! 🌿
❤️This FREE 15-day event is for every mother who’s ever thought:
“Why can’t I lose the baby weight?”
“Where did my energy go?”
“Will I ever feel like myself again?”
The truth is, conventional postpartum care often fails us. Most doctors give us 6 weeks of recovery time before saying we’re “back to normal” - but our bodies tell a different story.
✅I’ll be joining 30+ holistic health experts to share what ACTUALLY works for postpartum recovery, including my expertise on pelvic floor therapy!

This event is unlike any other you’ve experienced because host Sarah Nichole () approaches healing by building a foundation FIRST with mindset, breath, water, sleep, and earthing - so that everything else begins to work naturally.
This event is completely FREE because we believe every mother deserves access to this life-changing information.

➡️ Follow for more tips on pelvic health!

Valentine’s Day is all about love and connection, but if pain is getting in the way of intimacy, it’s time to listen to your body! Here are 5 key tips for pain-free s*x:

1️⃣ Breathe & Relax – Tension in your pelvic floor can lead to discomfort. Practice deep belly breathing to help relax your muscles.

2️⃣ Lubrication is Key – Dryness can cause irritation and pain. Opt for a high-quality, body-safe lubricant to enhance comfort.

3️⃣ Check Your Posture – Poor posture can lead to tight pelvic muscles. Try stretching or gentle movement before intimacy.

4️⃣ Foreplay Matters – Giving your body time to relax and get aroused helps reduce discomfort. Slow things down and communicate with your partner.

5️⃣ Address Pelvic Floor Dysfunction – If pain persists, your pelvic floor might be overactive. Pelvic floor therapy can help you move past pain and enjoy intimacy again.

If s*x feels painful, know that you’re not alone, and there is help available! As a pelvic floor therapist, I help women regain confidence in their bodies and experience pain-free intimacy.

🤔Why is it important to have a strong pelvic floor?

Pelvic floor strength is crucial for several reasons❗️

1. Supporting Pelvic Organs:

The pelvic floor muscles provide essential support to the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and re**um. A strong pelvic floor helps keep these organs in their proper position and prevents conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, where the organs descend into the vaginal canal.

2. Controlling Bladder and Bowel Function:

Strong pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in controlling bladder and bowel function. They help maintain urinary and f***l continence by supporting the urethra, bladder, and re**um, and by coordinating muscle contractions to regulate the release of urine and stool.

3. Enhancing Sexual Function:

Pelvic floor strength can contribute to improved s*xual function and satisfaction. Strong pelvic floor muscles can lead to increased sensation, better vaginal tone, and enhanced ability to achieve or**sm. Additionally, strong pelvic floor muscles can help prevent issues such as pelvic pain or discomfort during in*******se.

4. Supporting Pregnancy,child birth, and postpartum recovery :

During pregnancy and childbirth, the pelvic floor undergoes significant changes and experiences increased stress. Strong pelvic floor muscles can help support the weight of the growing fetus and aid in the birthing process. Additionally, maintaining pelvic floor strength before and after childbirth can help reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and associated issues such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

👉🏾Overall, maintaining optimal pelvic floor strength is essential for maintaining bladder and bowel control, supporting pelvic organ function, and promoting overall pelvic health and well-being.

⭐️I would love to help guide you towards being more confident in all things pelvic floor related, no matter your concern.
