For many women peri menopause can start in their mid thirties with confusing symptoms like heavy irregular periods, poor sleep or a change in your ability to enjoy sex or orgasm. Don’t put up with providers telling you these are all normal parts of aging. Pelvic Health can support you during this challenging time to make sure you stay feeling great at any age.

PROLAPSE (FEELING HEAVY DOWN THERE)
Pelvic organ prolapse causes a feeling of heaviness or pressure in your pelvic floor, and though it is common immediately after pregnancy, it can happen at any stage in life. This pressure can lead to other pelvic floor symptoms like difficulty emptying your bowels or bladder. Many people who experience these symptoms never seek help help due to shame or uncertainty, or because they have gone to general health providers before who tried to convince them that the symptoms are all in their heads.
Kids and adults (especially men/women who lift) can also experience rectal prolapse (rectum bulges outside the anus) which can be scary and very uncomfortable.
Symptoms
-
Common Symptoms
• feeling or heaviness pain or pressure in the pelvic floor
• low back pain• difficulty fully emptying the bladder/bowels
• weak or slow urine stream
• kids may keep straining to poop because they feel like there is something still there, causing their rectum to be partially expelled. In this case, the rectum has to be gently pressed back up inside the anus.

ELEVATED PREGNANCY
& THRIVING POSTPARTUM PROGRAM
As an advocate for the well-being of expecting mothers, I am thrilled to introduce our revolutionary Healthy Pregnancy Program designed to ensure that moms like you not only have a healthy baby, but also experience a pregnancy journey filled with vitality and well-being.
For a low-risk pregnancy, it’s common to focus primarily on regular visits to your OB or midwife to ensure the well-being of your baby. However, it is equally important to prioritize your own health and wellness to ensure that you thrive throughout this transformative phase of your life. It is common for women to experience pelvic pain, incontinence or feel like they are unsure about what activities or sports it’s safe for them to participate in.
That’s why our program takes a radical approach by recommending that moms be seen by a Pelvic Health Provider regularly during their pregnancy and continue almost immediately after birth, ensuring your well-being every step of the way.
We believe that pain, incontinence, and feeling less than your best during pregnancy should not be considered an inevitable part of the journey. Our program aims to empower you to enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest by addressing these concerns and offering comprehensive support.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
• Preparation for Labor and Postpartum: Our program goes beyond pregnancy and supports you in preparing for labor. You’ll learn essential breathing techniques, labor positions, and strategies for a smoother and more effective birthing experience. We’re also here to guide you through early postpartum recovery, ensuring a seamless transition into this new phase of motherhood.
• Tailored Visit Frequency: Our program’s visit frequency is flexible and tailored to your specific needs, and once you give birth we transition to concierge only visits, meaning I come to you and your gorgeous babe in the comfort of your own home.
• Continuous Support: We understand that questions and concerns can arise at any time. That’s why we offer instant messaging support which allows you to easily get on the spot guidance and reassurance when you need it most.
