Pelvic Health Elevated

09/08/2026

You did the Kegels. Maybe you even went to pelvic floor therapy.

And you’re STILL leaking when you run, jump, cough, laugh, or sneeze.

That doesn’t automatically mean you didn’t do enough or that pelvic floor therapy “didn’t work.” It may mean there’s more to figure out.

This is exactly why I don’t want to assume every person who walks through my door with leaking needs the same thing.

Sometimes we need to look beyond the most obvious answer and ask a few more questions. 🧐

If you’re tired of guessing what your bladder needs, let’s figure it out together.

Can we talk about how frustrating it is to be told everything looks “normal” when you’re still in pain? 👇

Maybe the scans were clear. Your labs came back normal. You were told everything looks fine.

But you’re still dealing with aching, pressure, burning, tightness, or pelvic pain that keeps coming back.

Here’s the thing: “normal” test results don’t mean your pain isn’t real. And they don’t necessarily mean there’s nothing contributing to it.

Pelvic pain can be complex. Muscles, nerves, joints, connective tissue, your bladder or bowel, reproductive organs, and your nervous system can all be pieces of the puzzle.

That’s why we don’t want to throw the same exercises at every person who walks through the door.

We want to understand YOUR symptoms, YOUR body, and what may actually be contributing to YOUR pain.

Because you deserve more than “everything looks fine” when you don’t feel fine. 🤍

Exercise in pregnancy is safe and so crucial!

From maintaining strength and mobility to supporting your core, pelvic floor, posture, and balance, prenatal Pilates is movement designed to meet you where you are.

Mama, consider this your sign to book the class. ✨

When something as normal as putting on jeans, sitting through the workday, using a tampon, or having s*x can cause pain, it starts affecting a whole lot more than that one moment.

And it can be especially frustrating when you can’t see anything “wrong” or don’t even know how to explain what you’re feeling.

Burning. Stinging. Raw. Irritated. Sensitive.

However you describe it, those details are worth paying attention to.

Vestibulodynia is one possible explanation for pain around the vaginal opening, but a diagnosis isn’t where the conversation ends. I want to know what triggers YOUR symptoms, what makes them better or worse, how long they last, and how they’re affecting your everyday life.

Because the goal isn’t just figuring out what to call your pain.

It’s helping you get back to living without constantly thinking about it. ✨

Nothing like a big laugh over first day of school pictures turning into a mad dash for the bathroom. If that's you, your pelvic floor is basically waving a little flag. Good news, we can actually work on this. Kids are back in school, let's do this.

Things that are common after having kids (that you do not get a list about, except for here 😉)...

🔸 Peeing a little when you sneeze, laugh or jump
🔸 Feeling "loose" or heavy down there, even months later
🔸 Pain during s*x
🔸 A gap in your abs you can fit your fingers into
🔸 Needing to p*e "just in case" before you leave the house
🔸 Feeling like a stranger in your own body
🔸 Not remembering the last time you sneezed without bracing yourself

Common ≠ normal. Common ≠ something you just live with.

Save this for the day you need the reminder that you're not the only one.

It doesn't automatically make sense, but it's science. 😉 If you're suffering from urinary urgency or frequency, we might have to treat your v***a with estrogen cream first to help heal your bladder.

Your body's been talking to you all summer. Have you been listening?

What this looks like:
-Leaking on the trampoline with the kids
-Aches in your belly by the end of an active pool day
-Sharp pulls you get picking up things from the floor
-Discomfort from your tampon when you're out and about

I don't want you to go through daily life feeling off, these things are fixable. The kids are back in school soon (if not already), let's get you checked out and back on track.
