Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Whether you are experiencing aches and pains during pregnancy, are worried about being ready for labor, or don't feel like body moves the same after delivery - we are here to help!
During Pregnancy
We are here to treat all the aches and pains that come with your pregnancy and strive to keep you comfortable and moving for as long as possible. Don't let pregnancy be the reason you stop doing the things you love! We also work with patients proactively to stay ahead of the pregnancy changes that occur to the body with planned visits at regular intervals. During our sessions you will learn ways to care for your body at each stage of your pregnancy as well as how to prepare for the best delivery possible. Let us help you go into labor and delivery with a better understanding and connection to your pelvic floor.
After Delivery
We are here to support you in any way we can once your little one has arrived. We offer in-person & virtual visits in the first 4 weeks after delivery to help you navigate the early postpartum phase. We find that connecting to your body and pelvic floor early is key to a successful recovery. At 6 weeks postpartum we will check in to assess how you are feeling and moving, head to toe, with a focus on your pelvic health. We also offer return to running assessments & training and are the experts in helping you return to exercise in a way that feels the best for your body without fear or injury or instability.

Did you know...
In other countries, every single patient is sent to a pelvic floor therapist postpartum as a standard of care, whether they are having symptoms or not, as part of a holistic plan of care.
If you are currently pregnant, just delivered or had your babies years ago, you can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. We can help with the symptoms you thought were just your 'new normal' as well as aches and pains from head to toe including:
- neck, shoulder & upper back pain from carrying and feeding your little one
- diastasis rectus abdominis (or abdominal separation) which affects 2 in 3 birthing people (Read What Causes Diastasis Recti In Pregnancy?)
- pelvic pressure, heaviness, or prolapse (you know, that feeling like something is falling out)
- difficulty with bowel and bladder after delivery including urgency, frequency, and leakage
- pain or fear of returning to intimacy
- pelvic pain including pubic symphysis or sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain
- return to exercise including our comprehensive
