So you definitely chose to start Pelvic Physical Therapy thinking "YESS!! Let's stick some needles down there!!" right? 😉

I'm guessing that's a no...(unless you've already witnessed the shockingly effective benefits of Dry Needling)

✨These super thin and flexible tools can reach troublesome areas our hands and other treatment options simply can't target as effectively!

If you're struggling with:
✖️ Scar Tissue
✖️ Pain
✖️ Weakness

Dry Needling can be an incredibly helpful option to:
✔️ mobilize scar tissue
✔️ calm the nervous system
✔️ coordinate muscle control

Whether your symptoms are in the abdomen, back, or pelvic regions, let's talk about whether Dry Needling is a good option for you!

And if you have a 'sweaty hands dripping on the floor' fear of needles, maybe just sit out for this one. I won't judge! 💕

👋🏼Hello!! It's been a while, and I have some updates to share!

The last few months 📆 have been chaotic, exciting and overwhelming. I've been so focused on my amazing clients and my busy family that I haven't gotten to share these absolutely GORGEOUS photos 💕

✨I was incredibly lucky to be able to snag the talented Patrick Betcher for some updated clinic shots. I've been dying to get some action shots with my clients, and he delivered!✨

You can feel the essence of the space I cultivated for my clients, and witness the joy treating my clients brings me 🥰 Yes, the photos were "staged", but the conversations and interactions were raw.

I had so much fun with this shoot. Thanks Pat!

🤩 Hello Gorgeous!!

Yes, I mean you with your asymmetry, curves and (gasp) visible signs of aging!

I just wanted to say that your body is amazing!! And you wear it so well ✨

If today is a hard day to see the beauty, maybe these positive thoughts will help:

🌷Stretch Marks - badges of your body's growth and resilience

🌼Un-Perky Breasts - proof that your body grew and nourished a tiny human being

🌻Wrinkles - reminders that your life has been full of laughter

🌹Scars - symbols of your strength and courage

🌼Curves - your body's unique signature

Perfection is what we define it to be. No one else gets to set that standard for you. Because you are uniquely and perfectly you! 💯

And if you don't feel like you because your body has changed, it's ok to seek help in regaining that sense of self.

✨If pelvic PT can help in any way, please reach out! I'm always happy to help you build your strength and confidence ✨

You deserve to feel as amazing as you are!

🌷Spring is almost here!!!🌳

The warmer weather, blossoming trees, beautiful flowers...and all of that irritating pollen.

🎉 Happy Spring allergy season!!

With more time outside comes more time sneezing 🤧. And what often comes with sneezing?

😱 Fear of leaking 💦

But fear not!! Because you're about to learn a (not so) secret weapon, The Knack!

What is The Knack? It's basically a silly phrase for consciously squeezing your pelvic floor muscles (kegel) before a movement or action!

👉🏼 Feel a cough or sneeze coming on? Do The Knack!

👉🏼 Your friend is making you laugh? Do The Knack!

👉🏼 Your kid wants you to pick them up for the 50 millionth time today? Do The Knack!

Why did you never have to practice this before? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sometimes, your body forgets to do these simple habits over time or after a major change (injury, childbirth, aging, etc), and we just have to remind it to start working again.

⁉️And what if the knack doesn't work? Well, then your pelvic floor might need a little extra help learning what to do with the help of a Pelvic Physical Therapist.

If the simple strategies aren't working for you, reach out to see how Pelvic PT could help you enjoy the beautiful change in weather without the unpleasant side effects!

Do you feel like half your day is spent 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️ running to the bathroom? Could you pinpoint 📍every restroom in a 5 mile radius?

You're not alone! Let's talk about urinary urgency, what causes it, and how to take back control. ✨

Read my latest blog post to get started 👇🏼 https://wix.to/AiBOTQS

Have you ever arrived at a restaurant or a friend’s house and immediately started scanning for the nearest bathroom? Or maybe you find yourself running to the bathroom three times before even leaving your own house "just in case". If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That sudden, unpredict...

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in a busy season of change… is pause.
Take a deep breath.
Feel your feet on the ground.
Let yourself simply be.
🍂
This season is a reminder that change can be beautiful — and that slowing down is part of growth.

When she says she needs more sacral pressure, you figure it out! Even if that means balancing on a tub so I can get better leverage, I'm happy to help 💕

This mother worked HARD!! 💪🏼 Back labor didn't break her spirit, and she got to see how far she could push her limits. And I am honored that she chose me to witness her strength with her and her partner.

Sometimes, pregnancy takes unpredictable turns and we have to pivot our mindset and expectations. This couple handled the twists and turns with continued excitement and willingness to learn their options, which resulted in a beautifully different labor and delivery experience than originally planned. ☀️

If we're not prepared to handle those changes, this can lead to defeat and hopelessness ⛈️

But if we embrace the change and learn our options, we can regain a sense of empowerment and excitement.⛅🌤️☀️

So my advice for you as you plan for your birth: dream and plan for your perfect birth! But also prepare yourself for the "just in cases" to lighten the stress response and help you keep hold of the excitement and beauty of your birth experience 🤰🏼

Side note, here a couple favorite quotes from this birth because I love having laughter and light-heartedness showcased in labor 💕
- water breaks: "Baby says 'hold my placenta'."
- mom on her last 2 pushes: "get the F**K ooouuut!!!"
