  • Hey Love,

    Have you wondered how to make those kegels transfer to not leaking during a jumping jack or while running or chasing down your kids? Wondering what's the best way to progress your exercises so that you can keep getting stronger without doing too much and causing more prolapse, pain and leaking? This is a very common and valid concern as the worst thing you could do is go too hard and cause injury, leaking or prolapse when you never had it before that. That is why I am so excited that my New App Pelvic Floor, Core & More is Launching SOON! My first program inside this platform is going to be an 8 week RESTORE program that walks you through the steps, taking the guesswork out!

    Inside today’s episode I am giving you some ideas on when and how to progress safely and effectively, but also what my progressions and weekly breakdown will look like inside of the Restore program. It is so important to make sure that you are not just doing kegel, but connecting the whole kinetic chain to work together so that you can restore your whole body, starting at the core! It is more than just adding weights and reps. Is it functional? Is it realistic? Is it progressing you towards the bigger higher intensity exercises like running, jumping, and HIIT training you are so anxious to be able to do? The Restore program not only will help guide you through safe and effective workouts each week, but will also give you a weekly lesson to help you understand your body and how to heal and prevent issues in the future! There is also a weekly group coaching call for accountability, trouble shooting and any questions you may have to help tailor the program more individually to you!

    If you are interested in learning more about the Pelvic Floor, Core & More program and want to get in on the Beta stages for BIG discounts… then click the link below to APPLY TODAY! Launching will begin next week, but spots are limited so if you think you want to join DON’T WAIT and schedule your Discovery call today! Click the link below!

  • Hey Girl,

    Have you joined the FREE Pelvic RESET 5 Day Challenge over inside the FaceBook group yet? If you are ready for a RESET and to get back on track with your goals or if your pelvic symptoms flared up over the Holidays, then this challenge is for you! Also Stay tuned for my Pelvic Floor, Core & More APP, which will host my NEW RESTORE 8 week program, guiding you through the very foundational basics of pelvic health and healing, all the way to return to sport and higher level exercise! Of course New Years brings up tons of “new programs”, especially on social media and its hard to know what is high quality and what is just crap. You can’t trust that every program is designed with the knowledge and expertise of a specialist and many personal trainers claim their "women's health experts” simply because they had a child before.

    That’s why inside this week’s episode I am helping you understand what to look for when you are deciding to try a new workout or fitness program or see a Pelvic PT, because even all PT’s are not all the same and lack the approach that your body needs! This can be very scary because you want to trust the person or program you are investing in, but if you haven't done your research, you might be frustrated at the end wondering why you didn’t get the results you were hoping for. Inside my Challenge and my New programs, I not only will provide you will 8 weeks worth of lessons and exercise progression, but also a private community and group coaching calls so that you can have individualized guidance and accountability so that you WON’T FAIL!

    The Pelvic Floor RESET CHALLENGE started yesterday 1/13/25 but it’s not too late to join and all replays and homework will be available on the facebook group page linked below!! I will be showing up on my private and free facebook group to chat about how and what we need to do to plan and prepare to be a BEST SELVES AND CRUSH THIS YEAR!

    Day 1 I talked about mindset and goal settingDay 2 will be all about the major foundations of our Health (sleep, hydration, diet, stress)Day 3 will all about pelvic floor with a Pelvic Floor 101 chatDay 4 I will discuss kegels and if you need them or not and how to do themDay 5 will be more about functional strengthening beyond kegels and how to connect and restore your core (beyond the pelvic floor) and a sneak peak inside my Pelvic Floor, Core & More APP!

    There is no better time to decide to invest some time into yourself and get your body AND mind ready for the challenge ahead! Because let’s be real… It is going to be a challenge but it will be worth it and I will be in your corner making sure you have everything you need to succeed!

    If you want IN on the 5 Day Pelvic RESET Challenge then go over to my facebook page listed below, join and comment on my challenge post and stay tuned each day of the challenge as the most active participants will receive a prize!

Maybe you don’t like the idea of a New Year resolution, but you know you’re habits have gotten away from you or you are just ready to keep crushing it this year! Either way, it’s not a bad idea to jump on the bandwagon and get motivated and ready to take control of your life this year and not be reactive and overwhelmed and frustrated that you didn’t accomplish what you hoped when next year comes around.

    Thats why I am doing a Pelvic Floor RESET CHALLENGE for 5 days starting on 1/13! I will be showing up on my private and free facebook group to chat about how and what we need to do to plan and prepare to be a BEST SELVES AND CRUSH THIS YEAR!

  • Hey friend!

    Do you know what the pelvic floor is? I didn’t! At least not until I went to PT school and learned about it, and I had already had a child! Isn’t that crazy?! This is a muscle that is a part of our body and yet many of us don’t even know it exists. Let alone understanding its function and what it looks like when it’s not functioning properly. Which leads us to accepting all these issues like peeing our pants, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse or heaviness, chronic constipation. These issues we all accept as normal in our society, and its all because we do not know better. So in today’s episode I am going to teach you just that. This is pelvic floor 101 baby. You are going to learn what that muscle is, what it does and what it looks like when it isn't functioning properly and some tools and tips that you can start doing today to start healing and restoring your pelvic floor and core so it functions properly for you. Helping you to not suffer with pelvic floor dysfunction anymore!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hi Love!

    Today we are talking breath work! What does that look like? How should we do it? Why is it the KEY to restoring your core function? So if you have done all the core exercises and haven’t seen the changes you want or have trouble reaching your goals. Or maybe you have heard of breath work, maybe you tried it a couple times, but it didn’t work for you so you stopped? But you are still dealing with pain, leaking and dysfunction. Then it is time to really understand why the breath work is so important and why I beg you not to give it up! Stick with it and inside this episode I promise you will leave feeling confident as to how it's supposed to happen and why you need to use it with everything that you do. It will also bring you a lot of mental peace and reduction in anxiety. Inside this episode we will discuss all the benefits of breathing, how you may be breathing poorly and causing the dysfunction in your body. Mostly we will discuss how you can use the breath for healing and restoring strength within your core and entire body. So if you want to learn the KEY to healing and restoring your core stay tuned! I got you!

  • Hey girl!

    You are making the time to workout and strength train, but are you prioritizing the right exercises? It can be so overwhelming to try to create the right workout or fitness plan and our time is limited so we want to make sure we are getting the biggest bang for our buck! Whether it’s during pregnancy, postpartum or beyond, glute exercises are crucial for pelvic floor and whole body health! Did you know that your foot, knee or hip pain can, and probably is, being caused by glute weakness or an imbalance in the pelvic muscles?! Even painful sex can be because there is dysfunction in the glutes and pelvic muscles. As our bodies adapt and shift during pregnancy, postpartum or beyond, it is important to make sure we keep our glutes active and strong to help keep pain and pee-leaks away. However, there are so many leg and glute exercises that it can be overwhelming to try to know which ones to prioritize as busy but active moms!

    Inside today's episode I am going to break down the four main exercises or functional movements that I think are crucial to maintaining balanced strength and stability around the pelvis, as a pelvic health physical therapist. Remember mommas, you do not have to be an experienced lifter to do these exercises. May of these you are already doing on a functional level, so it is more about learning the movement patterns and doing them at body weight or whatever weight feels good for your core and your body and showing up for it consistently!

    If you have any injuries or painful symptoms, make sure to reach out so we can get you booked for a Coaching Session or in person Therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident as you start strength training and grow that booty!!

  • Hey Mom Friend!

    I know there are soo many feelings and questions during pregnancy, especially around activity and what “safe” exercises during pregnancy even are. Our time and energy in the first trimester is limited and it can feel so overwhelming navigating the prenatal world and changing body. You want to make sure your time and especially your energy, is used wisely and not causing harm to you or your growing baby. I have been there with my own pregnancy journey before I knew all the pelvic floor and prenatal information I know now, and man was it confusing and scary and uncomfortable! I was peeing myself and battled many of the common pregnancy aches and pains: SIJ pain, round ligament pain, sciatica, SPD (pubic bone pain), prolapse and even hemorrhoids! For six years I struggled with some residual leaking and low back issues, until I learned all the tools and exercises I should actually be spending my time on! Then I was able to not only prevent worsening of issues with my subsequent two pregnancies, I was able to heal my leaking and issues while I was pregnant!

    Inside this week's episode I am letting you in on all the basic foundational core and pelvic floor information that every pregnant woman should know, and frankly every human. So even if you are not pregnant this episode is going to help you get back to the basics and strengthen your foundation so you can heal! Stay tuned as this is the first of three in my “Prenatal Fitness Series”!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hey Friend,

    For those that haven’t been following along, I have been struggling with symptoms of Pelvic Venous Disorder or PeVD or better known as, Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, for the last year. It all started with an ovarian cyst like pain, but I later learned that my “menstrual cramps” I was feeling on and off throughout the month, not just during my menses, was also due to these enlarged veins. The heaviness and cramping was starting to get so uncomfortable that standing or sitting for too long was painful, and even exercise started to become painful. Thankfully sex was never painful, but painful intercourse or dyspareunia, especially pain or cramping with and after arousal or orgasm, is a very common symptom of PeVD. I was not a typical presentation for this diagnosis, so it surprised me when I found out from an ultrasound. So I share my story so that others with pelvic pain, constipation, heaviness, sharp abdominal pain, low back pain or pain with sitting, standing, or exercising, can start to become aware of this diagnosis and advocate for yourself. As many gynecologists do not believe this condition is a cause of pain…. And I can tell you… it most definitely IS!

    After two procedures using coil embolization and sclerotherapy to close off the dysfunctional varicose veins in my pelvis, it was identified that a compression of my Iliac vein was pretty severe and needed to be treated with a stent. I am two weeks postop and recovery has been a journey. Many things I was not expecting, so again, I wanted to share with the World so that maybe you can feel more prepared and aware of the treatment options out there for you! Thanks for following along on my health journey and sending all the love and supporting messages, it has meant a lot!

  • Hey Friend,

    Are you struggling with incontinence or stupid pee leaks whenever you sneeze or cough? Feeling heaviness ever since you delivered your baby and want to start exercising, but not sure what the safest exercises are? Knowing breathing is important, but not sure when or how to breath optimally? Well you are in the right place! Breathwork is the KEY to healing and restoring your core and pelvic floor, whether you are pregnant, about to give birth, just had a baby, had a baby 10 years ago or have never had a baby and just struggle with pelvic floor dysfunction! I have a few episodes about breathwork and why it's important and different breathwork exercises you can try, so go check them out if that is what you are looking for.

    Inside this week's episode I am going to do a deep dive into breathwork and the two main types I teach my patients. We need to be practicing both types of breathwork control daily, in order to truly heal and make everything you do a core workout! So make sure you listen to the whole episode as I will guide you through both types and how you can get started healing today!

  • Hey Friend,

    Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Or like you are hitting a wall with your motivation or energy? Feeling like you are in reactive mode stumbling through your life from one thing to the next, only to feel like nothing has been done? Are your own self care activities getting pushed to the back burner? I have been there, like right now and so I am sharing my own struggles with you and the reality of motherhood and the overwhelm and frustration that I have been feeling lately and what I am doing about it.

    There are so many things that can get in the way of us showing up for ourselves and our mental health is one of them. And in order to have a peaceful mind, you need to have a peaceful home. So inside this week's episode I am diving into the areas of my life that I am resetting, and the intentions that I want to re-enforce for the rest of the year, so that I can be the present, patient and playful mom that you and your family deserve! There is no reason we cant enjoy the chaos of the Holidays without the chaos inside our heads. So I have decided to use this as my own personal 8 Week Reset Challenge, which you are welcome to join over at the Balanced Momtality Wellness and Support Facebook Group! (link below)

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hey Love,

    Have you been wondering when the best time to see a Pelvic Floor PT is? Maybe you are pregnant, about to give birth, or postpartum and know that pelvic floor PT can be helpful, but you aren’t sure when the right time to make that appointment is. Or maybe you have been dealing with pelvic pain, frequent UTI’s, or frustrating pelvic symptoms that you aren’t getting answers for from your gynecologist. Or maybe you are healthy and have no issues but want to be preventive and proactive to make sure that you are avoiding any leaking, prolapse, pain or dysfunction elsewhere in your body.

    Inside this week’s episode I am going to change the way you view physical therapy in general, but especially pelvic floor PT. I am going to explain why and how I am an advocate for seeing a physical therapist as a wellness/preventive yearly visit, but also what dysfunctions physical therapy can help with. I will help those pregnant mommas know when the right time to get in to prep for birth and recover optimally and make sure that you understand what services are out there for you to help with all your neuro and musculoskeletal issues! Or if you have some other conditions in the body like endometriosis, pelvic venous disorder or pelvic congestion or interstitial cystitis, I explain how and why Pelvic PT should be a part of your healing journey.

  • Hey Girl,

    Do you suffer from chronic pelvic pain or heaviness? Hemorrhoids? Ovarian pain or cysts? What about bloating or constipation? Is it worse with standing or exercise? Maybe sex makes it worse? It’s possible you have Pelvic Venous Disorder (PeVD) or recently known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. This Diagnosis is so under diagnosed and missed and many times the same symptoms are attributed to things like Endometriosis, PCOS, IBS, or ovarian cysts and fibroids. PeVD is a part of my story and I have a few episodes talking more about the disorder itself and how to identify it and many holistic things you can do to help so check those out if you would like!

    Inside this week's episode I am diving more into my personal journey and updating my tribe on how I am doing since my embolization procedure. I share my hopes, my struggles, and my experiences with chronic pain and what my plan is moving forward. Thank you to all of my amazing listeners and friends who have reached out to check in on me and let me know that sharing my journey has been helpful for you! You all give me so much strength and support and just know, I'm here to do the same for you!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hey Love!

    Are you feeling like no matter how much you want to take the right steps to heal your pelvic floor or get on a good fitness routine, you just can’t seem to show up for it? Everything else getting in the way or feeling like you don’t have enough time? Overwhelmed with all the things you need and also want to do? Maybe you feel guilty about taking that time to work on yourself? Or maybe you actually are not sure how or what you should be prioritizing in your healing? Mom life can be so stressful and all of these statements might be your reality, but they don’t have to be!

    I have been there momma. I truly have felt truth behind all of the statements above, and it can feel so overwhelming and out of our control, right? But, what if I told you that you have way more control than you are giving yourself credit for, and maybe, just maybe, you are the one contributing to these thoughts and making them your reality? Inside today’s episode we have a heart to heart where I challenge you to think introspectively and honestly about what is truly holding you back. You are the only one that has control over what you do, how you feel and what you decide to put your energy into. So it is time to look deep within ourselves and be honest with what we have been doing to contribute to some of these fears and feelings and then re-write our narrative! You deserve to feel strong, confident and peaceful and doing all the self care is only a small piece of the puzzle. You also need to change the inner workings of your brain and challenge your thoughts and feelings. Find more time in your day, get rid of the guilt and stop letting overwhelm lead to exhaustion and stress. It is time to heal your pelvic floor, core, body, mind and spirit! This is the mentality piece of The Balanced Momtality, I hope you enjoy it!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hey Love!

    Kegels are what most women and providers think of when they think of healing or restoring their pelvic floor or going to pelvic floor physical therapy. Especially if you experience leaking/incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, we tend to associate these conditions with weakness. When many times, the pelvic floor muscles are already too tight and doing kegels can make things worse! This can make things so confusing, which is why it is always a good idea to see a Pelvic Floor PT to see what is actually causing your issues. Is it actually weakness, or maybe hypertonicity or tightness or lack of coordination and poor pressure management strategies? I dive into more on if you should Kegel or not in a previous episode:

    Ep 11- To Kegel or Not to Kegel- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pelvic-floor-core-more-with-the-balanced/id1682290727?i=1000617570016

    However, this week I am diving into performing the kegel and different ways we can address weakness within the pelvic floor to improve that strength and control! They are not always going to make things worse and many times with true weakness, we do need to spend some time working on isolating the pelvic floor. So inside this week's episode I dive into different types of kegel contractions, how to perform them functionally and other ways you can progress those kegels using vaginal weights like the ones from Intimate Rose linked below. You can perform these during pregnancy, postpartum, post hysterectomy or c-section or at any time! As long as they are appropriate for you, so make sure you get clearance from a Pelvic Floor PT before going too crazy with kegels.

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

  • Hey Momma!

    Are you wondering where your butt went?! OR maybe you feel like you have never been able to grow a booty because of your genetics. Are you doing alot of glute exercises and not seeing much change? This can be so frustrating, especially when you are taking the time to prioritize your self care and getting exercises in. I see this so often during pregnancy but also postpartum, when our posture pulls our pelvis into an alignment where our glutes turn off. Whether you have an aesthetic goal for a big booty Judy or you just want to make sure you have strong glutes that can help you run, jump, hold your baby and more! OR maybe you're like me and you want both! I have some great tips inside for you!

    Strong glutes are crucial not only for a functioning pelvic floor, but also to be able to stay comfortable and active during pregnancy and to make sure you avoid many common pregnancy pains like low back pain or SIJ pain and sciatica. However, during pregnancy, the growing belly stretches out and pulls your pelvis into an anterior pelvic tilt, which stretches the glutes out and makes it difficult for them to engage. Same thing happens to the abs obviously since they are getting stretched out. Which is why it's even more crucial to make sure that you are keeping them engaged and strong throughout pregnancy and your lifetime. As your glutes help support you with your posture, bending over and picking things up, and taking the load off of your back. And I know many of you also might just want your butt to look good in your genes and that’s ok!

    So inside today’s episode I am giving you my favorite 3 tips (maybe some bonus tips) you can do at home or the gym, to help turn those glutes on and improve your glute recruitment and ability to engage and function for you! Not only during your leg and glute day at the gym, but also functionally when you are picking things up off the floor all day long! So stay tuned and make sure you listen to the whole episode as I have packed a lot in there for you!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!! I know first hand, as a busy and active mom, it is possible but so hard to do alone, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO! Join my tribe and let me help take the guess work out of your fitness and make it fun again!

  • Hey Friend!

    It can be overwhelming to know where to start or what to focus on when starting to try and optimize your health and wellness. From breathwork, to strength training, to cardio, there are so many areas to work on. You can totally pick one of these areas to start with and see how your body feels. However, even if you are exercising and showing up for yourself, your muscles may not be working when and how they are supposed to. That’s why today, I am sharing one of my favorite habit hacks to start with or at least add to your daily routine so that you can make sure that you are connecting and becoming aware of your body and how it functions for you throughout the day, not just when you are paying attention during exercise.

    How our body functions automatically is crucial to understanding the root cause of pelvic floor and overall dysfunction. We may be focusing on breathwork and mechanics during intentional movement, but if the rest of the day your body isn’t functioning optimally, it can feel like very slow progress. Inside this week's episode, I dive into the power of the brain and re-mapping our motor plans and neuromuscular connections. This will help your body show up for you how you want it to, even when you aren't thinking about it. So stay tuned and make sure to let me know what you think at the private and FREE facebook page below!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!
