Grounded & Rooted Pelvic Floor Therapy

09/01/2025

Can't wait to get these pictures off the camera and onto the website.
As things have slowed down, and I make my way into hosting community events, here's what I learned and continue to be reminded of as I reflect over this year's " event:
1. Black women are beautiful.

2. Black women are resilient.

3. Black women desire and thrive in community.

4. Being in community with black women is healing.

5. Y(our) reach is far greater than what you see in front of you.

6. Rather than waiting to see who's going to do it...you have to step out on faith and be the one to do it.

7. Photography is my preferred media for shaping and changing the narrative of how black women choose to birth and breastfeed.

8. Good things happen in partnership.
Shout out to for your knowledge and expertise on lactation and breastfeeding, AND
for selecting me as one of their mat grant recipients, used for a safe, sitting space as we gathered and fellowshipped.

9. PHresh48 Series coming soon!

Today officially kicks off Black Breastfeeding Week!
I am so excited about this year's theme "Boots on the Ground: Rooted in Breastfeeding Success, Grounded in Community Support".
Created in 2014, B*W raises awareness about unique challenges faced by Black mothers, such as disparities in breastfeeding rates and the need for culturally relevant support and diversity within the lactation field.
As an Occupational Therapist practicing in maternal health, this theme resonated with me, as much of the work I do in private practice is guided by community partnership and programming for improving maternal health outcomes.
So join me and others as we celebrate BLACK BREASTFEEDING WEEK through various events hosted virtually as well as in person.
For more info on the need and cause to establish a BLACK BREASTFEEDING WEEK, follow .
Also, follow my good friends Unfiltered Stories and Adrine Wiggins Ibclc to see what good work they are to promote, protect, and advocate on behalf of the black breastfeeding experience.
Welcome to Black Breastfeeding Week!

Happy New Year!
Many of you have heard of "Dry January " in which the goal is to abstain from alcohol consumption.
This year, I'm reframing "Dry January" to mean "NO Urinary and/or F***l Incontinence" with laughing, coughing, sneezing, jumping, picking up your little one, and dare I say...during s*xual in*******se.
If you are a mom, who is in the up to three year postpartum period, AND you experience urinary/f***l incontinence...I would love to consult with you to discuss the benefits of pelvic floor therapy for managing this type of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Incontinence, even in small amounts, when not addressed adequately and in a timely manner can lead to further decrease is pelvic floor functioning, decreased participation in preferred activities, and decreased quality of life.
Virtual and in person appointments are available.
401-326-4739.
I look forward to partnering with and supporting you through your guided pelvic floor rehabilitation program.
