Did you know there are pelvic health specialists that can help with so many pelvic issues such as chronic pain, sexual health, trauma, incontinence, constipation, postpartum, menopausal, and more!

I suffered from prolapse many years ago and didn't even know about all these options and went directly to surgery, which turned out to create so many problems for me with multiple surgeries. I have this deep desire to prevent that for other women.
I also know that many women suffer from postpartum pain and issues, sexual pain, elimination issues, menopausal issues, incontinence, and want to spread awareness around pelvic supportive health.
Did you know that putting your feet on a stool, raising your knees above hip level puts you in a healthier squat position that straightens the rectum and can have long term health benefits? There are so many things you can do to promote healing and health. Did you know that you can retrain your nervous system that can help with incontinence and sexual issues and trauma? Did you know you know there are people trained specifically to support your pelvic health?
