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?

Constipation isn’t just a gut issue… it’s a pelvic floor issue too 👀

When you’re constipated, you’re more likely to strain 🚽�
That constant pushing puts extra pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to:�
• Weakness or poor coordination�• Increased risk of prolapse�• Bladder leakage�• That “never fully empty” feeling

Over time, your body can actually forget how to relax and let go properly 🤯

✨ The fix starts with your habits, especially fiber ✨�
Here are easy ways to support smoother, stress-free bowel movements:
• Add 1–2 tbsp chia seeds to muffins, oatmeal, or yogurt�• Swap white carbs for whole grains (think oats, quinoa, brown rice)�• Sneak veggies into meals (zucchini muffins, spinach in smoothies)�• Eat fruit daily (berries, pears, kiwi are 💯 for digestion)�• Hydrate 💧 (fiber without water = worse constipation)

🚽 Potty training tip most parents don’t hear:

Constipation is one of the biggest reasons potty training struggles happen.

As a pelvic floor PT (and mom of two toddlers), I see this in adults all the time — and the same principles apply to kids too.
My oldest is 3.5 and fully potty trained (pull-up only at night), but we went through a phase where constipation made regular bowel movements difficult… which is incredibly common for little ones.

My youngest is almost 2 and has zero interest in potty training yet 🤪 but she already knows when she needs to p**p, which is a great sign of body awareness.

Just like I tell my adult pelvic floor patients:
hydration, fiber, movement, and pelvic floor coordination matter.

Here are a few things we do in our house to support healthy bowel habits 👇

✅ Feet flat on the floor or on a stool
This helps relax the pelvic floor and makes it easier to p**p.

✅ No “just in case” bathroom trips
We avoid forcing it unless we’re about to get in the car for a long time.

✅ Blow bubbles or use a straw
Blowing helps relax the pelvic floor and prevents straining.

✅ Food + movement first
Before turning to Miralax we try:
• fewer packaged snacks
• more fruits & veggies
• more water + electrolytes
• walking after meals

✅ No stress around accidents
Pressure can make kids tense their bodies (yes, even their pelvic floor).

✨ Exciting news:
By the end of this summer I’ll officially be accepting pediatric pelvic floor patients!
Pediatrics was originally what I wanted to do when I started PT school, so pediatric pelvic health feels like a full circle moment for me 🥹

If your child struggles with:
• constipation
• stool accidents
• potty training difficulties
• bedwetting

I’d love to help.

📩 DM me to get on the pediatric waitlist!
