The goal is always to get you feeling better and back to doing what you love

…but I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss our weekly chats 🥲

Watching you go from frustrated, uncomfortable, or unsure… to confident, strong, and symptom-free is the best part of what I do

Even if it means graduating from your standing appointment 🤍

And don’t worry… I’m always here if you need a check-in, a refresher, or just miss me too 🫶🏼

🌼Curious about what it’s like inside Rhode Island Pelvic Wellness? 🌼

From the outside, it’s easy to keep walking. There may be noise, traffic, and life happening all around you. But once you step inside, everything shifts. It’s quiet, calm, and focused entirely on you.

Inside, we’re having real conversations about things most people were taught to ignore such as bladder leaks, pain, postpartum recovery, core strength, and more. It’s a space for validation, education, support, and getting your body to function the way it’s meant to.

Curiosity is usually the first step, and honestly it’s a good one! If you’d like to learn more or have a personal conversation about the symptoms you’re experiencing, book a free discovery call on our website!

Nothing you say in here is “too much”

We talk about things most people have never felt comfortable saying out loud and that’s exactly why this space matters

The more you share, the more we can connect the dots and actually help you feel better

Leakage, pain, pressure, bowel habits, intimacy… it’s all on the table and none of it is weird here

Promise I’ve heard it before and if anything, I’m just glad you said it 🫶

🤍 3 of my favorite exercises for pregnancy 🤍

These gentle, effective moves help support your changing body, improve stability, and keep your pelvic floor working with you, not against you.

✨ Adductor rock backs
→ Can help release inner thigh tension while improving pelvic mobility & coordination with breath

✨ Bear planks
→ Build deep core strength and support for your spine & growing belly

✨ Inversions
→ Encourage baby to settle into a more optimal position while taking pressure off the pelvic floor

There are so many great options during pregnancy that cannot fit into one short video, these are just 3 that we love and come back to often 💫

With clearance from your physician, focus on slow, controlled movement and steady breathing. Your body (and baby) will thank you 🤍

Because once you realize how many things are connected to the pelvic floor… it’s hard not to 😅

Leaking when you sneeze
Pain with intimacy
Core weakness or back pain
Feeling pressure or heaviness… down there
Constantly going to the bathroom

These aren’t random. They’re all things we look at every single day!!

So yes… I will absolutely stop mid-convo if something sounds pelvic floor related 🤍

But in all seriousness, so many people are dealing with these things quietly thinking it’s “normal” or something they just have to live with…
You don’t 🤝

🚫Pushing to p*e might seem harmless, but it can actually contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction🚫

Your bladder is designed to empty with relaxation, not force. When you push or strain, you increase pressure on your pelvic floor and disrupt normal bladder emptying patterns. Over time, this may contribute to symptoms like urgency, frequency, leakage, or incomplete emptying.

Instead of pushing, try this:
✨ Sit comfortably and fully relax
✨ Take a few slow breaths
✨ Let your body do the work

If you feel like you have to push to empty, that’s your sign to check in with a pelvic floor PT 💛

Babies on the mat, mamas getting stronger, and lots of laughs in between🤩

Movement, motherhood, and a little chaos… just how we like it 🤍

Not all leakage = weak pelvic floor

Sometimes it’s a tight, overactive pelvic floor that doesn’t know how to relax 🥴

Kegels without the full picture can actually add more tension, making it harder for your muscles to coordinate when you need them most

This is why assessment matters

Because the right plan isn’t always “do more,” sometimes it’s learning how to let go

If you’ve been doing kegels and not seeing improvement or things feel worse, your body might be asking for a different approach 🙌🏼

Outside: racing thoughts, overthinking symptoms, wondering if it’s “just me,” putting it off for another day

Inside: calm, clarity, and finally feeling understood

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just about exercises. It’s about slowing things down, connecting the dots, and actually making sense of what your body has been trying to tell you. 🌀

You don’t have to keep spiraling or guessing. There’s space for your questions, your symptoms, and a plan that feels manageable.

Sometimes the biggest shift is just walking through the door 😌
