Pregnancy & Postpartum
A whole‑body, supportive approach to pelvic pain, low back pain, SI pain, hip pain, intercourse pain, and nerve‑related symptoms.
Pregnancy and postpartum bring enormous changes to your body — physically, hormonally, and emotionally. Whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering afterward, navigating diastasis or prolapse, or simply wanting to feel strong and supported again, pelvic floor therapy can help you move with confidence and comfort. I offer one‑on‑one, whole‑body care in a private, calm environment designed specifically for women.

Why Pregnancy & Postpartum Symptoms Happen
During pregnancy, your body adapts to support your growing baby — your posture shifts, your core and pelvic floor work differently, and your ligaments become more flexible. After birth, your body begins a new healing process, which can include changes in strength, coordination, scar tissue, and hormonal support. These shifts can affect the pelvic floor, core, hips, and low back, sometimes leading to discomfort or changes in bladder, bowel, or sexual function. A whole‑body assessment helps us understand what your body needs to heal and feel strong again.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps
Pelvic floor therapy supports pregnancy comfort and postpartum recovery by improving strength, coordination, mobility, and confidence. We’ll work on:
-
Pelvic floor relaxation and activation
-
Core and diastasis recovery
-
Hip, SI joint, and low back mobility
-
Breathing mechanics for pregnancy and postpartum
-
Posture and movement strategies
-
Gentle manual therapy (internal or external, only if appropriate and comfortable)
-
Cesarean and perineal scar mobility
-
Safe return‑to‑exercise guidance
-
Prolapse support strategies
-
Nervous system calming techniques
You’ll learn how your body is changing, how to support it, and what you can do to feel strong, comfortable, and confident throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
