So a few things about me you need to know if we’re going to hang out here:

I’m a Londoner living in Somerset. Been here 14 years. Still not local. Apparently that takes about 300 years or your great-great-grandmother being born in the village. I’m working on it.

I bloody love being an osteopath. Specifically, I love the bit where you get to be properly nosy about bodies. Not just “where does it hurt” but “why is your body doing that weird thing and what else is connected to it that you haven’t noticed yet?”

Which was all very interesting and professional until I became the woman with the pelvic floor problem.
The leaking. The strategic pre-exercise wee. Fun times.

So I went looking for help and got handed more pelvic floor squeezes. Nothing about my breathing. Nothing about my hips, my ribs, my feet, the fact that I was basically bracing my entire torso like I was about to be hit by a car. Just: squeeze harder.

My osteopathic brain had a full meltdown.

Because I’d spent years learning that bodies don’t work in isolation. That the stiff ankle changes how you walk. That your pelvic floor responds to what’s happening above it, below it, around it. That if something’s not working, you find the relationship that’s broken, you don’t just yell at the symptom and hope it behaves.

And yet here I was, being told my pelvic floor was the problem, full stop. As if it existed in a neat little box between my legs with no connection to the rest of me.

I got obsessed.

What if we treated the pelvic floor the way osteopaths are trained to treat everything else? As part of you. Connected. Integral to everything else.

Turns out that question became Pelvic Rebel.

I’m so happy to have you here. ❤️

You’re walking the same route as yesterday.
Same pace. Same dog. Same trainers.
And halfway round you’re leaking. FFS.

WTF, I thought I was getting better.

So what changed?

Your pelvic floor didn’t suddenly become weaker overnight. What changed was everything else your body was dealing with that day.

The context changed. And the context was so subtle you didn’t connect it.

This is why one bad day sends you spiralling. You start wondering if all the work you’ve been doing even matters. Whether you’re ever actually going to get better. Whether your body’s just… unreliable now.

But one symptomatic day doesn’t prove you’re getting worse.

It proves your pelvic floor was trying to do its job inside a system that was already maxed out.

The Body Literacy Method teaches you to see the whole picture. Your breath. Your posture. Your movement patterns. The pressure from above. The force from below. The subtle things you’ve been living with for so long you don’t even notice them anymore.

So you stop catastrophising one bad day and start recognising what actually changed.

Comment GUIDE for my free resource showing you everything connected to your pelvic floor, and why treating it in isolation hasn’t worked.

You’ve been told your pelvic floor is too tight.

So you Googled “how to relax a hypertonic pelvic floor” and found breathing exercises, stretches, maybe some internal release work. You tried them. They helped a bit. Then the tightness came back.

Your pelvic floor isn’t gripping because there’s something wrong with the muscle. Your pelvic floor is gripping because the rest of your body stopped doing its job, and your pelvic floor’s been compensating the whole time.

Your breath isn’t managing pressure properly, so your pelvic floor braces every time you inhale. Your feet aren’t absorbing force, so your pelvic floor takes the impact when you walk. Your hips don’t rotate, so your pelvic floor compensates. Your posture bears down on your pelvic floor with every step.

Your pelvic floor is exhausted. It’s stuck in a pattern it can’t get out of on its own.

Telling it to relax without addressing why it’s gripping is like telling someone who’s been holding up a collapsing ceiling to just let go. She can’t. Not until someone else takes some of the weight.

The standard advice keeps missing because it’s still treating your pelvic floor like it’s the problem. It’s not asking what made it grip in the first place.

Once you start asking that question, you’re not working on your pelvic floor in isolation anymore. You’re looking at your breath. Your feet. Your hips. Your posture. All the things that should have been supporting your pelvic floor but weren’t.

That’s when your pelvic floor can finally let go. Not because you told it to relax. Because it doesn’t need to hold on anymore.

If you want to see everything connected to your pelvic floor that no one’s been looking at, comment GUIDE.

I stopped squeezing my pelvic floor.

Previously,I kept going back to kegels, thinking that’s what I should be doing.

Every time I leaked, I’d think: maybe I haven’t done enough. Maybe I’m not doing them properly. Maybe if I just squeezed harder, held longer, did them more consistently, it would finally work.

So I’d start again. Another round of kegels. Another few weeks of trying to remember to squeeze at traffic lights, in the supermarket queue, while brushing my teeth.

And I was still leaking.

My pelvic floor wasn’t weak. It was already gripping. Adding more squeezes on top of constant tension wasn’t making it stronger. It was making it tighter.

And a tight pelvic floor can’t absorb force when your foot hits the pavement. Can’t respond when you cough mid-sentence. Can’t adapt when your toddler launches herself at you without warning.

It just braces harder. Which creates more pressure. Which makes the leaking worse.

The moment I stopped doing kegels and started looking at what was actually going on, everything changed.

My pelvic floor finally got to do what it’s supposed to do: work automatically, in the background, without me having to consciously squeeze it every time I sneeze.

We don’t walk around our day manually controlling our pelvic floor. If you are, please stop.

Your pelvic floor is meant to work on autopilot. Kegels in isolation don’t teach it that. They just teach it to squeeze.

I want you to say yes to more.

And think about your pelvic floor a whole lot less.

That’s the goal. 💛

What do you want to say yes to? 🙌

I used to think having a super strong core was the best thing I could do for my pelvic floor.

Turns out I was working against myself all day long.

Are you subtly holding your tummy in right now?

I’m always asked “what worked for you?” “What did you actually do?” So here it is. No gatekeeping. Over the next few weeks I’ll take you through my journey from adult nappies to where I am today.

Let me know what you want to know!
