Pelvic organ prolapse can sound scary, but it’s much more common than most people realize.

Prolapse happens when the muscles and connective tissues that support your pelvic organs become less supportive, allowing the bladder, uterus, or re**um to shift downward into the vaginal canal. You might notice:
• A feeling of heaviness or pressure
• A bulge you can see or feel
• Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
• Low back or pelvic aching
• Symptoms that get worse after standing, lifting, or exercising

The good news? Surgery isn’t the only option—and for many people, it isn’t the first step.

Pelvic health therapy can help you improve support, coordination, breathing mechanics, pressure management, strength, and confidence so you can get back to living your life.

And prolapse is just one of the many things I treat.

✨ Leaking with coughing, sneezing, running, or lifting
✨ Pelvic pain
✨ Pain with intimacy
✨ Pregnancy aches and birth preparation
✨ Postpartum recovery
✨ Core weakness and diastasis recti
✨ Constipation
✨ Tailbone pain
✨ Perimenopause and menopause changes
✨ Painful periods and endometriosis support
✨ Hypermobility and pelvic floor dysfunction

You don’t have to “just live with it” because someone told you it’s normal after having babies or getting older.

If your body is changing, there are options—and I’d love to help you find them.

What many people call being double-jointed is joint hypermobility—meaning your joints move beyond the typical range of motion because of differences in your connective tissue.

For some people, it’s simply a normal variation. For others, it can come with:
✨ Joint pain
✨ Frequent sprains or injuries
✨ Feeling tight despite being flexible
✨ Fatigue
✨ Pelvic floor symptoms
✨ Balance or coordination challenges
✨ Feeling like your body is hard to control or know where it is in space

The goal isn’t to stop movement. The goal is learning how to create stability, strength, and confidence in a body that moves differently.

If you’ve ever been the person showing off party tricks—or you’ve wondered why everyone says you’re “so flexible” but your body doesn’t always feel good—this workshop is for you.

📅 Hypermobility Workshop at Moonbird Yoga O’Fallon
🗓 Sunday, June 28
🕛 12:00 PM

We’ll cover:
• What hypermobility really is
• The Beighton score and screening
• Why stretching isn’t always the answer
• Strength and stability strategies
• Pelvic health, hormones, and connective tissue
• A movement session focused on control—not just flexibility

Come curious, leave feeling more connected to your body.

POV: You’re in your 30s-40s. You tweak your back sneezing, your hormones are doing their own thing, your kids haven’t let you sleep in years, and somehow you’re supposed to ‘just work out more.’ Let’s build a body that supports real life—not fight against it 💪

I get to work with some of the coolest, funniest, and most amazing people ever. Every day, I’m reminded what a privilege it is when someone trusts me enough to let me into their space, share their story, and be part of their journey. Deeply grateful for each and every one of them 🤍
