I have not shared much about my fertility journey here because I’m still very much in it and I’m just not ready to share it all publicly yet. But... this one I had to share just in case anyone else is in a similar situation.

I did my research, looked through my plan options, talked with a broker, and decided on a health insurance plan with Harvard Pilgrim (HP) through the marketplace.

As we jumped through the insurance hoops to get our second egg harvesting procedure approved at the start of this year, we were told by our healthcare team that HP informed them we have a 2 cycle lifetime max. I thought, ideally this round will work and we won’t have to worry about it.

It didn’t.

Once I emerged from the grief of that, I had our team reach out to HP to confirm that we’d maxed out our benefit. HP couldn’t give the team an answer and said I needed to call... Sounded fishy to me!

The person I spoke with at HP said I had authorization for 4 egg harvesting procedures. I mentioned this differed from the 2 lifetime max that they had told my team earlier in the year and wanted to make sure we had all of the correct information.
I spent hours of time on hold as they talked with all their teams and after multiple phone calls, I received word that it was a 2 cycle lifetime max and no additional egg harvesting procedures would be covered.

But... while I was doing all of that waiting, I was also researching.
I came across the state of Maine Standards for Fertility Care which says insurance has to cover a minimum of 4 egg harvesting procedures. I called the number on the bottom of the document and spoke with an incredibly helpful human who confirmed they are required to cover 4 egg harvesting procedures. This person sent links to the standards that back up this and more, and sent me a link to file a complaint with the state if HP decides to deny the claim.

A handful of goals that brought people into my office this week. Two people may have the same diagnosis or even the same symptoms but how it shows up in their life if often vastly different. This means their goals are different and their treatments are different. Pelvic PT at Brittany Lee Wellness is all about what YOU want and need.

As the year turns, it can be tempting to focus on what didn’t happen or what still feels unfinished.

There is much pressure to start something new, fix something, become someone different.

And yet… it’s winter.
A season that invites slowing down, tending inward, and noticing what’s already here.

Before rushing ahead, pause and reflect:
What are you proud of from 2025?
What are you grateful for from this year?
What did you tend, survive, learn, or soften into—often without realizing it?

From that place of fullness, you might gently ask yourself:
What do I want to be proud of at the end of 2026?

Not from urgency or self-criticism—but from care.
From curiosity.
From a desire for more ease, more pleasure, more joy in your body and your life.

Your health—physical, emotional, nervous system—gets to be something you tend to not because something is wrong, but because you matter.

If giving your body and your well-being a little more time and attention this year feels supportive, I’d love to walk alongside you. There’s no rush—just a chance to begin right where you are whenever you are ready.

So many of these habits start quietly.
They don’t feel like “a problem” — they just feel like what you do.

You p*e before and after class because it feels safer.
You step out midway because listening to your body has started to mean planning around it.
You choose black leggings “just in case.”
You hold mula bandha the entire class — even in savasana — because letting go feels risky or your just not sure how.
And when a teacher cues “engage your pelvic floor,” you’re already clenching or completely unsure what that actually means.

Here’s the thing:
These are often compensations, not personal failures — and they’re incredibly common.

Many people adapt to pelvic floor symptoms so gradually that they start to feel normal.
But leaking, urgency, constant holding, or confusion about what’s even happening down there aren’t things you just have to live with.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t about tightening or fixing you —
it’s about awareness, coordination, strength AND relaxation, so you can move, breathe, and rest without constantly managing your body.

If any of these slides made you think, “Wait… I do that,”
that might be your sign that your pelvic floor could use some support 🤍

You deserve to feel at ease in your body — on and off the mat.

It isn't just about getting 5/5 strength, being able to coordinate your pelvic floor with your movements or a getting certain range of motion.

It's about what those things allow you to do. It is about how you feel in your body and how you're able to live your life.

Your goals matter!

If 3 or more were true for you, it is very likely that you have an issue with your pelvic floor AND that Pelvic Floor PT can help you!

Thanks to Nicole and Jesse Cozean for creating the Cozean Pelvic Dysfunction Screening Protocol and making it easy to sort out who would benefit from Pelvic Floor PT!

This screening tool is fantastic to help people identify for themselves if they can benefit from PFPT. It is also a great tool for providers like primary care providers, gynecologists, and orthopedic physical therapists to use to see if a referral to a PFPT would be appropriate.

Give me a 👍 in the comments if this is helpful for you!

If you’re local to York, ME and are in need of Pelvic Floor PT, give me a shout!
