Can we talk about how WEIRD it feels to tell a healthcare provider that seggs hurts? 😅

Like… how do you even bring that up?!

“Hey, so… everything is fine except when my husband and I have intimacy it feels like my pelvis is being stabbed.” 🫠

And then you’re sitting there wondering if you’re being dramatic, if it’s normal, or if you should just… deal with it.

So you don’t say anything.

You just quietly avoid s*x, push through it, or hope it eventually goes away.

If this is you, please know you are far from the only woman experiencing this.

Pain with intimacy is actually incredibly common, and there can be SO many reasons behind it—from pelvic floor muscle tension and changes in your nervous system to hormonal changes, previous pain or injury, scar tissue, endometriosis, and more.

And just because it’s common doesn’t mean you’re supposed to live with it.

You don't have to be embarrassed to talk about it, and you definitely don't have to keep pushing through pain. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Comment TRAINING and I’ll send you my free pain-free intimacy training that goes over 3 reasons why you may still be suffering.

09/04/2026

If I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings, here are 3 things I’d tell you about why you’re STILL experiencing pain with in*******se… 👇

1. Your pain may not be coming from your pelvis alone.

Yes, your pelvic floor can absolutely play a role — but pain with intimacy can involve SO much more than tight muscles.

Your nervous system, hormones, stress, past experiences, inflammation, your gut, your breathing patterns, your beliefs about s*x, and even the way your brain interprets pain can all be part of the picture.

2. Stretching your pelvic floor isn’t always the answer.

If you’ve been told to “just relax,” stretch, or do more pelvic floor exercises… and you’re STILL hurting, that doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It may mean we haven’t figured out the why behind your pain yet.

Pain is your body communicating with you — not something you should simply learn to tolerate.

3. You can’t always treat the pain without addressing the whole person.

If you’re only focusing on the painful area, you may be missing important pieces of the puzzle.
There are multiple layers to painful intimacy, and getting to the root often means looking beyond the pelvis.

✨ S*x shouldn’t hurt.
✨ You are not “just in your head.”
✨ And you do NOT have to accept painful intimacy as your normal.

If you want to understand the different factors that could be contributing to your pain — and what you can actually do about it…

S*x shouldn’t hurt. 🚫

But if intimacy does hurt, it doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong “down there.”

Pain with intimacy can be connected to things like:

✨ Pelvic floor muscle tension
✨ Your nervous system being stuck in a protective state
✨ Scar tissue or past injury
✨ Hormonal changes
✨ Your breathing and pressure patterns
✨ Even the way your body is moving during intimacy

And no—you shouldn’t have to just “push through it,” avoid intimacy, or accept that pain is your new normal.

There is a reason your body is responding this way, and understanding the WHY is the first step toward changing it.

I created a FREE Pain-Free Intimacy Training where I break down what may actually be causing your pain and what you can start doing about it.

Some stories remind me exactly why I do what I do. 🤍

So many women are told that painful periods, pelvic pain, or pain with intimacy are "just something you have to live with."
They're not.

While every woman's journey is different and no treatment can guarantee a specific outcome, there is hope. Your pain deserves to be taken seriously, and there are often treatment options that address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

If you've been silently struggling with pain during intimacy, pelvic tension, or discomfort that's affecting your relationships and your quality of life, please know this:

✨ You don't have to keep living in pain.
If you're looking for a place to start, my Pain-Free Intimacy Guide is available now. Inside, you'll learn why pain happens, common mistakes that may be keeping you stuck, and simple strategies you can begin implementing today.

💌 Message me "GUIDE" and I'll send you the link.

You deserve to feel confident, comfortable, and at home in your body again. ❤️

Get that ankle and foot moving girl and watch how your pelvic floor symptoms change 🤏🏼 I keep saying it butttt it's ALL connected. If you foot can't absorb force, why do you think your pelvic floor struggles to do the same?

Your pelvic floor doesn't work alone... it works as part of a team. 🤝🏼

Every breath you take creates pressure changes inside your abdomen. When you inhale, your diaphragm naturally moves down and your pelvic floor gently lengthens and relaxes. When you exhale, your diaphragm rises and your pelvic floor recoils and supports you.

But when we're constantly chest & mouth breathing, holding our breath, or "sucking in" our stomach all day, that natural rhythm gets disrupted. Over time, this can contribute to:

✨ Pelvic pain
✨ Painful intimacy
✨ Leaking with exercise, coughing, or sneezing
✨ Constipation
✨ Feelings of pelvic heaviness or pressure

Breathing isn't just about getting oxygen—it's one of the foundations of healthy core and pelvic floor function.

Sometimes the first step toward healing isn't another Kegel... it's simply learning how to breathe again.

If painful intimacy has left you feeling frustrated or like you've tried everything, there are evidence-based strategies that can help. My Pain-Free Intimacy Guide walks you through the same foundational concepts I teach my patients, including breathing techniques, pelvic floor relaxation, nervous system regulation, and practical tools you can start using right away.

✨ Grab your copy through the link in my bio and take the first step toward pain-free intimacy. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. 🤍

One of my favorite exercises to prescribe for overall strengthening, control of postural muscles, coordination, etc. is the split squat 👏

Add in an overhead press for even more of a challenge to the deep core.

My cues that I give in the office are:
-push through your big toe, little toe and heel as you come back into standing
-as you bend your knee, let the knee go out towards your second toe
-with overhead press, keep your ribs downnnnnnn to prevent arching the back and losing that core control

Why is this a good exercise for you pelvic floor????
-it's a higher level exercise that moves the pelvis through a range of motion forcing the pelvic floor to lengthen and contract under a load.
AKA: exactly what you need to prevent leaking when coughing/sneezing, pain with in*******se, excessive pressure in the pelvic floor with prolapse.

If you've been wanting more ideas on where to get started with pelvic health and one of you symptoms is pain with intimacy, check out my guide I just dropped through the link in my bio ✨

BONUS--> there's an add on option for a 7-day pelvic floor + gut reset and it's sooo soooo good. It gives you checklist each day to hold you accountable. Check it out!

Pain with intimacy is common… but it’s not something you should just “live with.”

This week alone, 75% of the women I treated were dealing with pain during intimacy.

And every single one of them improved after we focused on:
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ breathing mechanics
✨ pelvic floor relaxation
✨ reducing muscle guarding + tension

Your body isn’t broken — it’s protecting you.

If you’ve been silently struggling, this is exactly why I created my Pain-Free Intimacy Guide. A step-by-step starting point created by a pelvic floor PT to help you understand what’s actually going on and what to do next.

9.5 grams of fiber in these spicy salmon bowls we made for dinner the other night 🤯

5 of those grams came from the edamame alone 🫛

Not gonna lie I thought it was going to be way more than that!!! Now that I'm actually looking at nutritional labels it makes sense why so many of us are not hitting are daily values without some sort of supplemental support.

My favorite options here recently to help me get closer to that 20g per day are:

•oatmeal
•adding chia seeds to yogurt or banana bread/muffins
•I found dried cranberries (without the added sugar) on thrive market that were fantastic!!
•snacking on a veggie tray while I make dinner
•also I was stocked that Poppi's have 3g of fiber in them!

What's your go-to meals and snacks to help you get more fiber in?
