Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma

If I wasn’t worried about hurting your feelings… this is exactly what I’d tell you. Not because I want to scare you. Not because I think you’re doing anything wrong. But because I wish someone had told me these things before I became a mom. In this episode, we’re talking about the uncomfortable truths that could completely change your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. We’re diving into to...

If you’ve ever walked away from pelvic floor therapy thinking… “Maybe my body just can’t heal.” This episode is for you. One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that all pelvic floor therapy is the same. It isn’t.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest problems in healthcare: the lack of education surrounding the pelvic floor. From pregnancy pain being dismissed as "normal" to postpartum symptoms being brushed aside, too many women are left feeling confused, unsupported, and wondering why no one prepared them for what they're experiencing. I'm sharing my personal story, why pelv...

This week, I’m sharing one of the most personal stories I’ve ever told… my traumatic c-section birth story. The fear. The overwhelm. The moments I felt completely unprepared.

The standard “6 week wait” postpartum advice has become the norm — but it’s also one of the most misunderstood and potentially harmful parts of recovery.

“Your due date is coming up…” “Baby is measuring big…” “We should schedule an induction…” And suddenly… it feels like your birth is no longer in your hands. No one sits down and fully explains: 👉 when an induction is actually necessary 👉 when it’s optional 👉 or what your body is capable of doing on its own So most moms say yes… not because they want to—but because they feel like they have to. H...

“Am I going to tear during birth?” No one says it out loud… but almost every mom is thinking it. And what’s worse?
