01What It Is

What is pregnancy and postpartum pelvic floor therapy?

Pregnancy and birth change the demands on your pelvic floor, core, and posture. Pelvic floor therapy supports you through those changes: easing discomfort during pregnancy, helping you prepare for birth, and guiding your recovery afterward.

Postpartum care is not only for the first few weeks. Leaking, pain, heaviness, diastasis recti, and discomfort with intimacy can all be addressed, whether your baby is a newborn or your youngest is already in school.

In Their Words
I had the joy of working with Michaela during my pregnancy! As a busy mom who hadn’t been consistently working out in the past few years, I didn’t feel physically prepared going into my second pregnancy. Michaela guided me through a variety of pelvic floor, core, and breathing exercises that I was able to implement into my routine! She also shared various birth prep resources that were very helpful.

Michaela has a wealth of knowledge, but what truly stands out is her approachability, kindness, and patience. She creates a comfortable and supportive environment that made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Thank you Michaela!
