The first p*e after childbirth can feel overwhelming, but it’s something more women should feel comfortable talking about. ❤️

Some women experience leaking, while others struggle to pass urine at all. Both can happen as your body recovers after birth.

And remember, don't strain or force it. Your body needs time, care and support to recover.

You're not broken. You're recovering.

Save this for a new mum who might need to hear it. 💗

Some conversations are long overdue, and sexual health is one of them.
S*xual health, pleasure, and even understanding our own bodies were conversations many of us never had.
That’s exactly why these conversations matter. ❤️

I’m excited to be part of Climax 2026 in Ottawa, where I’ll be co-leading the Pilates for Better Pleasure workshop, joining the S*x Over 50 panel, and moderating the Painful S*x panel.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, women’s health educator, and author, I believe it’s time we moved beyond shame and silence and started talking openly about bodies, pleasure, and pain.

Because pleasure is a part of health, and everyone deserves the knowledge to understand their body better.
See you at Climax 2026!

I came to Canada for love. I stayed, rebuilt, and found a whole new version of myself along the way.

Starting over in a new country meant proving myself all over again, navigating exams, learning a new healthcare system, surviving Canadian winters.
But somewhere between the challenges and the little victories, I built a practice, found my community, and created a platform dedicated to pelvic health.

Because sometimes, the journey you never planned becomes the one that shapes you the most.

This is a little piece of my journey from India to Canada, from starting over to building something I’m proud of.

And yes, the rotis got sorted too. 😉

Two days of learning, questioning, connecting, and looking at pelvic health through new perspectives.

PelviCon 2026: Disrupt! brought together pelvic physical and occupational therapists who share a common goal: continuing to move pelvic health care forward.

For me, the most valuable part of conferences like this goes beyond the sessions. It’s the conversations between them. Meeting people who understand this work, exchanging experiences, challenging the way we think, and returning home with ideas that can shape how we educate and care for our communities.

Grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the opportunity to be part of PelviCon 2026 in Atlanta.
And now, back to the work with a little more knowledge and a lot more perspective.

Every child deserved to come home. 🧡

Today, I’m remembering the children who never returned home from residential schools, honouring Survivors, and holding their families and communities in my thoughts.

As a mother, thinking about those children is heartbreaking. As someone who calls Canada home, I have a responsibility to listen to Indigenous voices, learn the truth, and carry that learning beyond today.

Truth comes before reconciliation.
Listen. Learn. Remember.

Every Child Matters. Today and every day. 🧡

What if patriarchy isn’t always loud enough to notice?

Sometimes it sounds like:
“Girls should adjust.”
“Don’t be too ambitious.”
“He’s a man, that’s different.”
“After marriage, your priorities will change.”
“A good mother puts her family first.”

We hear these ideas so often that they can start feeling normal instead of being questioned.

Patriarchy isn’t only found in obvious restrictions. It can show up in the expectations we inherit, the roles we automatically assign, and the different standards we accept for women and men.

And sometimes, without realising it, women can carry these expectations forward too.
Recognising patriarchy isn’t about blaming every individual. It’s about noticing the patterns we’ve normalised long enough to finally question them.

Once you start noticing it, where do you see it most?
