  • Summary

  • This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

Profile Image for Paula Belen

If you got a bun in the oven or have had one...or

if your going through it and your pelvic floor is a factor then I would highly suggest you check this out!
I wish I would have had this toolbox of a podcast back when my little crotch goblin was still a jellybean in my belly.
Guests on so far have been so helpful. Host's voice is neat and travels well through the ol' eat holes.
Shout out to Mommy Berries!
