This morning I had the wonderful opportunity to present to a group of urologists, urogynecologists and medical residents on all things pelvic health!

It’s so encouraging to see more conversations happening around pelvic health, collaboration and interdisciplinary care to improve the outcomes of our pelvic floor and women’s health patients.

Thank you for inviting me to present to a wonderful group of physicians today!

Having a c section is not the “easy” way out.

There can be a lot of common misconceptions that pelvic floor dysfunction does not happen when a c section occurred.

These are some of my favorite topics to educate people on why all types of deliveries deserve pelvic floor therapy!

If you had a c section and are experiencing pelvic pain, concerns with your incision, core weakness, back pain, constipation or urinary leakage know that you are not alone. And know that there is always support and solutions to your discomfort.

It’s also never too late to start pelvic floor therapy after a c section 🫶🏼

Two years of Mind Body Pelvis 🤍

I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this over the past month… two years didn’t feel like a “big” milestone. It’s not the first year, and it’s not one of those neat multiples of five.

But as I enjoy some morning matcha in the sun with my dog before heading into work on this milestone, I realized that we don’t need permission to celebrate, and being proud of ourselves doesn’t have to fit into any kind of timeline.

Mind Body Pelvis has grown and evolved so much over the past two years, and I feel incredibly grateful for everyone who has been part of that journey.

Most of all, I’m deeply appreciative of my clients and community who continue to trust me with their care. It’s truly an honor to do work that never feels like a job.

Here’s to celebrating it all-the big moments and the quiet ones, too. Thank you for being here 🤍 I can’t wait for year 3!

Something many C-section moms don’t hear enough: your scar and your pelvic floor are connected.
Scar tissue after a C-section forms through multiple layers of tissue, and as it heals, it can create internal restrictions that affect far more than the incision itself. Those restrictions can contribute to tension in the pelvic floor, which may show up as urinary leaking, discomfort during intimacy, chronic pelvic or low back pain, or just a lingering sense that something still isn’t quite right.
A 2025 study in the International Urogynecology Journal confirmed this connection, finding that C-section scar severity was directly linked to elevated pelvic floor muscle tone.
This is not uncommon. And it is treatable.
Pelvic floor physical therapy, including scar mobilization and targeted rehabilitation, can address these patterns whether your C-section was recent or years ago. Many women experience meaningful relief after working with a pelvic floor specialist who understands the full picture of cesarean recovery.
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not imagining it. Your body is asking for care that takes your whole history into account.
We would love to answer your questions. Drop them in the comments or reach out directly.

✨April is C-section awareness month✨

C-sections are not only one of my favorite things to treat, and to educate people about but it is also a special topic of discussion shared between my Mom and I.

Even 31 years later, my mom constantly shares her experience and the lasting impact her two surgeries (with little medical support given afterwards) had on her.

-The pain she experienced upon standing up for the first time
-Seeing stars and feeling intense dizziness when she tried to shower after surgery
-Trying to care for a toddler (me) while taking care of another new born (my little brother) after her second c section
-The immense emotional and physical fatigue she felt after attempting hours of pushing, ultimately resulting in a c section…twice

And the one that stands out to me is her difficulty connecting with her core and pelvic floor 30+ years later. She deserved better. Women deserve more guidance.

My mom, and so many other women in my life continue to inspire me on a daily basis, demonstrating the innate resilience that women carry-emotionally and physically.

This should also be a reminder of how important it is, for women who experience a major abdominal surgery, to also receive postpartum support and guidance from trained pelvic floor therapists and their medical team. All postpartum mamas deserve support, regardless of how baby arrived earth-side.

A c-section impacts the entire body, and a pelvic floor evaluation should reflect that. Here are some of my favorite things to cover in a postpartum evaluation for a mama who had a c-section.

I’m curious if you’ve had a c-section, how was your recovery? Let me know in the comments below 🤍

✨Coming Home to the Body✨

A small, guided women’s circle in Princeton, NJ

Come to one, or come to both gatherings. It’s low pressure, come as you are and when it fits into your schedule.

✨What it is✨
A small, guided women’s circle to slow down, reset, and spend time with other women who get it. If your days feel full—and you’re constantly taking care of things and other people—this is a space to step out of that for a bit.

✨Women often attend because they feel✨
-A little overwhelmed or stretched thin
-Stuck in their heads, constantly in “fight or flight” or always “on”
-Interested in nervous system regulation, self-care, or women’s wellness
-Haven’t had a moment that’s just theirs in a while

This is a chance to take that time.

✨What it’s actually like✨
We meet in a small group and move through a simple, guided flow:
-a few gentle practices to help your body pause, soften and slow down
-practical pelvic floor + body awareness support
-space to reflect and talk—only if you want to
-time to sit, sip tea, and just be

It’s calm, real, and low-pressure. Come as you are.

Leave feeling more relaxed, a little more like yourself,
and reminded that you’re not the only one navigating all of this.

✨Upcoming Circles✨

April 17: Come Back to Yourself
A simple reset—get out of your head and reconnect with your body
10-1130am
$55

May 8: Softness & Spring Renewal
A slower, more spacious circle, ending with a simple flower arranging activity
10-1130am
$55

Come to one or both—each one stands on its own.

Recovering from major surgery is hard.

Recovering from major surgery while caring for a newborn, through the night, every night, is something else entirely.

A 2025 study presented to the American Society of Anesthesiologists found that C-section mothers are 16% more likely to develop a sleep disorder in the year following birth compared to vaginal deliveries. More than two-thirds reported that significant pain disrupted both their sleep and their ability to function day to day.

If you are in that experience right now, or if you were and never had anyone name it for what it was, we want you to know: this is not weakness. This is what happens when postpartum support doesn’t account for surgical recovery.
Your body went through something enormous. The fatigue, the pain, the difficulty getting comfortable, the feeling that you should somehow be further along by now — all of it makes sense.

There is targeted support for C-section recovery that goes beyond the standard six-week clearance. Pelvic floor physical therapy, scar care, and gentle rehabilitation can help your body heal in ways that standard postpartum care often misses.
You deserve that level of attention. If you have questions about where to start, we’re here.
