Hey Girl!
Do you find that you have a hard time pooping? Maybe you struggle with IBS, Crohn's Disease, or a “leaky gut” and battle both diarrhea and constipation? Or maybe your stools are soft and solid like they should be but its hard to get them out or you feel like you don’t fully empty? OR maybe everything is easy to come out and it looks normal, but you don’t go regularly. All of these are signs that your bowel movements are not normal, which unfortunately can be the cause of many of the common pelvic floor symptoms I see.
Many times when we have pelvic floor issues like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain or even prolapse, we tend to think weakness or maybe even tightness or old scar tissue could be causing it. Or maybe you thought you weren’t performing your exercises correctly or weren’t doing the right types of exercise. But did you ever think that your poop was what was driving your pelvic floor symptoms? Or maybe your pelvic floor dysfunction is causing your leaking, pain or even prolapse? Inside this weeks episode I am diving into poop and why we should be paying close attention to our bowel movements.
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!
Having a UTI can be so uncomfortable with all the urinary urgency, frequency, burning and bladder/pelvic pain! It is especially frustrating when you go to the Doctor and get a urine dipstick test and it comes out negative. After frequent episodes like this you might get a diagnosis like Interstitial Cystitis, which is essentially bladder inflammation in a chronic state. Women that I work with feel lost and stuck with this painful condition and stuck on medications or painful bladder injections, and that does not have to be the case! Lately I have been seeing an influx of women coming to me with these symptoms and feeling hopeless.
So inside this week’s episode I am diving deep into bladder pain, frequent “UTIs”, and Interstitial Cystitis or IC and what are some of the many holistic and whole body factors that can be causing or contributing to your symptoms and a few of the many tips and tools that I teach my patients as a pelvic floor physical therapist! Listen and learn about bladder irritants, breathwork, reducing urgency with urge suppression techniques and how to analyze our foundational health (sleep, stress, diet, etc).
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!
It is finally Summer break, which brings a lot of feelings… excitement and anxiety are two that come to mind. I love the freedom of Summer, but on the other side of that coin the freedom is what brings some level of chaos in our home and regular rhythms. I know every Summer I feel like it flew by and I not only didn’t get to do all the things I was hoping I would get in with my family, but it can also be very easy to put your own health and wellness goals to the sidelines and forget about the little things that you can still do to stay on track. We don’t have to fully abandon our fitness routines and we also don’t have to be super rigid with them. When the kids are home and you are in full busy mom mode, their needs and the chaos they leave in their path can take over our attention and you can find yourself drained and overwhelmed very quickly. Then you might get to the end of the Summer and find that your symptoms and progress you have worked so hard on is lost, or worse everything is aggravated.
Inside this week’s episode I am outlining the 3 things that I am taking time to plan ahead and have some systems still in place as my family goes through Summer Break that will help prioritize you and your family’s values and goals this Summer and help keep you on track! Whether you are a stay at home mom, a work from home mom, a work out of the home mom or just a busy woman, this episode is to help get you thinking and inspire you to get creative, stay on track with your fitness goals and most importantly have fun and give yourself grace!
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 Girl!
As a busy mom, I am always taking advantage of easy yoga poses to do my breathwork in, even if it’s at the end of the day in bed. Yoga has many benefits, but when we bring the intention deeper and become mindful of the breath, it can be a game changer! If you have been a regular listener you probably already know that breath-work is one of my favorite things to do for anyone and everyone that struggles with pelvic floor or back or hip issues. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum or just dealing with pain and want to optimize your breathing and get out of pain, these exercises and tips inside this week’s episode are for you! There are many benefits to yoga and breath-work in general but I wanted to break down the mindset and intention that needs to be present while practicing these common yoga poses.

Hey Momma!
As you near labor and delivery, you are probably starting to think about what comes after birth. What should you be doing and not doing postpartum? I often get questions about the postpartum period and recovery. Unfortunately, the standard of care in the United States is to have a postpartum check up or screen around 6 weeks to get “clearance” for activity as usual. Which leads many women, like me, to return to some sports and activities prematurely, causing issues like pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence or leaking, diastasis recti (DRA), or pelvic pain, to show up when they were never there during pregnancy. This can be very frustrating, especially if you are trying to exercise and do the “right things”. As you will learn and may have already in recent episodes, it is more about HOW your body is functioning and performing for you during an activity. Not just is your pelvic floor strong or weak. So while the routine 6 week check up is necessary for other things like screening mental health, pain and tissue healing, it is not doing our women justice to clear them to return activity as usual.
It is crucial and should be standard of care to get a pelvic floor PT internal assessment postpartum to assess for things because strength like coordination, pressure management, trigger points, scar tissue, functional movement patterns and much more! Inside this weeks episode I dive into all the differences between your standard OBGYNE exam and a pelvic floor PT’s and why you should be getting both! And also why you probably shouldn't wait until six weeks to have a follow up with your pelvic PT or provider. Also stay tuned for some tips to think about as you navigate your early postpartum recovery.
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 Girl!
Have you been told you have POP or Pelvic Organ Prolapse? Or maybe you feel heaviness or pressure or just feel like something is falling out of your vagina? This can be very scary to first find out about and from personal experience, I can say that it can take over your thoughts and make any exercise or activity seem scary or bad like it will make it worse. This unfortunately, causes a lot of fear around movement and can even contribute to anxiety and depression. Especially if you are a mom still wanting to have more children but not wanting to cause more damage to your body or if you are active and enjoy strength training and heavy lifting or high impact exercises, it can seem like that is no longer an option for you.
However, inside this week’s episode I am diving into the basics of POP and what we can do for it to manage it conservatively and help you feel more confident as you navigate life and exercise. I talk about pessary’s, pressure management, the role of pelvic floor strengthening and how pelvic floor PT can help make sure you can go through all your normal activities without fear or risk of progression. In a future episode I will talk more about the different strategies, tips and exercises that you want to be doing to improve and manage your prolapse. So if you have started to wonder or have been terrified now that you got told you have prolapse, don’t fear! It is NOT the end of the world and you can still get pregnant, have more children vaginally and lift heavy!

Hey Love!
One of the most common questions I get from the women and especially pregnant or postpartum mommas is “Is this exercise safe” or “Should I be doing this or is it too much for me?” or “Is this exercise bad?”. Unfortunately, the answer is not as simple as “good or bad exercises”. Every person has different strength and capacities, which makes their body perform differently than others. Meaning, some exercises that could be beneficial for one person may be very problematic for another. So it is more about understanding your own body and how it is showing up for you during any exercise or activity. Knowing your body’s boundaries are crucial for avoiding injury or causing issues like leaking/incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti (DRA) or even hemorrhoids or hernias. Especially during pregnancy, postpartum or recovery/rehab periods where the body is adapting and healing and more vulnerable, we need to know that what we are doing isn’t going to put us or the baby at risk.
Inside this week’s episodes I am reviewing the 3 P’s and the ABC’s: The Body Boundaries Checklist, so that you can feel confident as you move through different exercises and activities during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. It’s time we stopped avoiding exercises out of fear and also stopped wasting time doing things that are only going to hurt us or put us at risk. Whether you are just beginning your fitness journey or are experienced but in a new season of life, these are health and fitness concepts that every active person should know!

Hey Friend!
This week’s episode is meant to help you find that balance of activity while still resting and listening to your body and to also give you tips on how to make your daily tasks a functional exercise so that you can still get some strengthening and movement in your body every day without even having to take the time to go to the gym or “exercise”. Cleaning our houses can cause many aches and pains if we do it poorly, but can actually be great whole body exercise if we are moving intentionally. This reduces your risk of pain and injury and also builds strength and resiliency in your body when you don't have the time or energy to work out. This episode is great for anyone who just had surgery, is postpartum, is recovering from a flare up of an old injury or illnesses, or even just someone who hasn’t worked out in a while and wants to start easing back into exercise and being more active! Really it’s ideal for anyone because we all have daily tasks we have to do, so why not habit-stack some easy functional exercises into your daily routines and make your “workouts” work for you and save your body from aches and pains. I have been recovering from my own embolization/Pelvic venous dysfunction procedure and am sharing how I am navigating my “6 weeks of recovery”.
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!
It’s Spring! Which also means it’s allergy season, at least here in the Southwest, so I have been seeing a big increase in women having their pelvic floor symptoms return. Leaking is the most common one I have been seeing, but also prolapse symptoms. With all the sneezing, coughing, blowing your nose this time of year, your pelvic floor is working over time! Is it weak? Is it tight? Is it just fatigued and pooped out? Either way the tips inside this week’s episode will help you reduce that excessive pressure down on the pelvic floor and prevent prolapse and leaking symptoms from getting worse and also hopefully help you stop feeling them all together! Whether you are pregnant or not, leaking or not, or have prolapse or not, this episode is going to be super helpful as you can carry these strategies throughout the year when you have to sneeze, cough, blow your nose, throw up, exercise etc! This episode dives into the holistic strategies to connect the whole body and core system and is not just talking kegels. Any time there is an increased pressure and force on the body we want to think about these strategies to avoid causing any symptoms. As a busy momma with kids who also struggle with allergies, these are tips I tell my kids as well!

Hey Momma!
You have made it to the third trimester and hopefully you caught Part 1 of this Epsiode last week and have been staying active and comfortable up to this point by listening to the first and second trimester episodes. This trimester is when things can become increasingly uncomfortable and achey as belly and baby grow. You are probably feeling anxious and excited about labor being just around the corner, but afraid as birth can come with so many unknowns. You want to stay comfortable in this last trimester but also prepare your mind and body for birth so you can have an optimal birthing experience and recover well postpartum. Especially if you are battling many of the common pregnancy aches and pains: SIJ pain, round ligament pain, sciatica, SPD (pubic bone pain), prolapse and even hemorrhoids, then this episode is for you!
Inside this week's episode (Part 2 of 2) I am giving you more tips and tricks for releasing tightness in your pelvic floor and performing perineal massage to assist the relaxation and opening of your pelvic girdle to prepare for an easier vaginal birth and less risk of tearing and complications. The tips inside this episode will help you feel more confident as you get towards the big Birth Day and help you feel comfortable while you wait for baby, especially if you are having pelvic pain.
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!
I can’t believe it has been ONE YEAR of talking in your ear about your pelvic floor, core and more! The podcast has been such a fun and unexpected passion project that I have enjoyed pouring into this last year in order to bring women everywhere this crucial information about our bodies. Talking freely and opening about taboo topics like pain with sex and peeing your pants isn't always easy, but it is so crucial for us as a culture and women’s healthcare to spread awareness about these conditions that we are told are normal, when in reality they are common NOT normal and there is alot we can do to help improve our symptoms and quality of life! Whether you are pregnant, newly postpartum, years postpartum, in perimenopause or menopause, or not a mom at all, you need to understand your body and what is normal and what is not and what the options are for you in order to optimally care for yourself. It can be so isolating and lonely to navigate these conditions and experiences as a woman and a mom and so it is crucial to have a community and support system. Thank you for being part of mine and I'm so grateful to be part of yours! This week's episode is a little about my own journey in podcast and balancing all the things as a busy working full time momma and letting you in on the behind the scenes of podcasting and my life and what is to come this next year on the podcast!
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!
Strength training can seem like such a scary and intense type of exercise when you are pregnant, but I am here to tell you how amazing it is for you and why you especially need it during pregnancy! In the second trimester you are hopefully getting some energy back but are also starting to grow that baby bump, which can begin to bring on all the aches and pains like SIJ pain, round ligament pain, sciatica, SPD (pubic bone pain), prolapse and even hemorrhoids! We tend to feel stiff and tight so we go to stretching all the things, when in reality we need to be strengthening all the things so that they can support our body! Especially our core and glutes, which can seem intimidating during pregnancy.
Inside this week's episode I am helping you understand the importance of strength training, the best core and glute exercises to start with and really knowing your body’s boundaries so that you can feel confident navigating strength training and all types of exercise and activity during pregnancy. This will help you avoid all the aches and pains and complications like leaking/incontinence, prolapse, DRA, hemorrhoids and more! 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 for the Third Trimester and the last of three in my “Prenatal Fitness Series”!

Hey Love!
This is an update on my own health journey with pelvic pain from Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, which I am learning is now termed Pelvic Venous Disorder or PeVD. Signs and Symptoms of PeVD can be misleading as it mimics many other conditions like interstitial cystitis, vaginismus, constipation, endometriosis, cysts, prolapse and more. Pelvic Venous Disorder is a widely underdiagnosed condition that can affect many women, especially postpartum moms who have had multiple babies. Since I have decided to go through with an Embolization procedure, I have been navigating and creating a Holistic toolbox for me to make sure I am giving my body the best chance going into this procedure and recovering on the other side and optimizing my venous and lymph return. Inside this week's episode I will update you on my journey as well as inform you of the many various holistic strategies, herbs, exercises and other tools that can also help you manage your PeVD or just optimize your venous and pelvic health! I want you to better understand your symptoms and how to advocate and take better care of yourself.
While we can have many things contributing to pelvic pain, there is still so much we can do to relieve and resolve symptoms and bring you back to not only a pain-free but enjoyable life. So stay tuned and let me know what you think and if you would like any more support in achieving any goals around pleasure, intimacy and pelvic pain!
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 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!
Are you tired of not having enough time to exercise or workout and wish there was a way to get in quick exercises that actually are going to make a difference and help you reach your goals?! Micro-fitness, Micro-workouts or the term “Exercise Snacks”, has started to become increasingly popular as we are a society with a full agenda. Especially for moms who have to juggle kids, house work, marriage, self care and maybe working in or outside the home, it can feel almost impossible to have time to get in any movement. So this concept of micro-workouts is great for busy moms like you and me! It gives us the freedom to play with our time and our exercises to find the type and amount of exercise that works for us at whatever stage in life we are in. How would it feel to know by the end of the day you got a total or 20-30 minutes of exercise and movement in even without spending 20-30 minutes working out at one time?! I used this strategy throughout my early years of parenthood and postpartum when my babies were always needing or all over me and when I just could not get to the gym, and it helped me stay comfortable and strong throughout my next pregnancies and recovery easier postpartum! Did you know that I used to pee on the trampoline and now I don’t?! I fixed that while I was pregnant with my second and while in PT school and it was because I used this concept of micro-fitness and got in what I could, when I could. So Inside today’s episode I am laying out what Exercise snacks are and how you can use them throughout your day as well as some more specific exercise options to start with so you make sure you are getting a whole body, well balanced workout!

Hey Love,
This is the end of the series on pain with intercourse or Dyspareunia and inside this weeks episode I switch it up and let you all in on my own personal journey with pelvic pain. Dyspareunia is a common condition especially women who are postpartum, had tearing/scarring, have history of pelvic/abdominal procedures, have a history of trauma or sexual abuse (even from a pap-smear), have any underlying conditions like interstitial cystitis, vaginismus, constipation, endometriosis, cysts, prolapse and as we will learn in this episode, pelvic congestion syndrome. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a widely under diagnosed condition that can affect many women, especially mommas who have had multiple babies. Despite my knowledge with this condition and having treated it before, getting diagnosed with it has been surprising to say the least. Inside this week's episode I will take you through my own personal journey with this condition and pelvic pain so that you can better understand your symptoms and how to advocate for yourself.
While we can have many things contributing to pelvic pain, there is still so much we can do to relieve and resolve symptoms and bring you back to not only a pain-free relationship with sex but a pleasurable one. So stay tuned and let me know what you think and if you would like any more support in achieving any goals around pleasure, intimacy and pelvic pain!
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!
Today on the show I have special guest Cat Fite, who is a certified sex and couples therapist and also a local therapist in Los Alamos, New Mexico. We are diving into the mental aspects that affect Dyspareunia and pain with intercourse, everything from pain, trauma and libido! She gives great insight on how sex therapy can help improve your pleasure and help you heal, as well as how we can re-define what type of sex we want to experience. This is obviously a taboo topic and so I am thrilled that we are spilling all the juicy goodness in this episode to help you have the best sex of your life! We discuss issues with postpartum and (peri) menopausal hormone drops and normalize the reality that despite those changes in your body, sex should still NOT hurt! Pain with intercourse or intimacy is common and wildly normalized, especially women who are postpartum, had tearing/scarring, have history of pelvic/abdominal procedures, have a history of trauma or sexual abuse (even from a papsmear), have any underlying conditions like interstitial cystitis, vaginismus, constipation, endometriosis, cysts, prolapse and even women who are just chronically stressed. While we can have many things contributing to this pain, there is still so much we can do to relieve and resolve symptoms and bring you back to not only a pain-free relationship with sex but a pleasurable one. Cat is an amazing human and we had so much fun in this interview! So stay tuned and let me know what you think and if you would like any more support in achieving any goals around pleasure, intimacy and pelvic pain! (Cat’s info and mentioned references below)
