The pregnancy care I offer is not a replacement for your regular maternity well visits. My care focuses on YOU! I will help you manage any current pain, avoid pain occurrence, and reduce unnecessary stress or strain to your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. I do this by taking a careful look at your typical postures (standing, sitting, and sleeping), the way you walk and move (body mechanics), assess tissue length and strength, and breathing mechanics. We can also review the following:

• Learn childbirth positions that promote relaxation of the pelvic floor.

• Improve neuromotor control between your brain and the muscles used during labor

• Reduce and manage pubic symphysis pain, low back pain, or pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy

•reduce unnecessary strain to pelvic floor and abdomen to reduce chances of diastasis recti and prolapse.

• Gain confidence with exercising safely during pregnancy with customized exercise programs

•get access to wonderful checklists to cover everything from what to bring in your hospital bag to how to manage your ever changing body/posture/strength.

•Ask unlimited amount of questions, no TMI, from an advocate of Moms and Pelvic health!

After pregnancy and childbirth you may notice physical changes to your body, but internal changes also occur to your vaginal canal. Changes often occur to the strength, tone, and ligamentous laxity of the pelvic floor which can affect bladder function, as well as change in the anatomy of the pelvic cavity, vagina and surrounding organs.

You are not the only one experiencing pelvic floor issues. Sadly, most don’t seek treatment, sacrificing valuable quality of life. Many believe conditions like incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or overactive bladder are part of the aging process and untreatable, which simply is not true.
