Your Questions, Answered.

What is your coaching style and how does it support pelvic health?

My coaching style is a holistic, empowerment-driven approach designed to help women connect with their bodies, cultivate self-love, and prioritize self-care. Through intentional and personalized practices, mindful movement, and emotional support, I guide clients in building body awareness and integrating self-care practices that foster long-term wellness. This journey not only enhances pelvic health but also nurtures a deeper connection to oneself, leading to a more empowered and fulfilling life.

How is pelvic floor coaching different from pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor coaching and pelvic floor physical therapy both support pelvic health, but they focus on different approaches and goals.

Pelvic Floor Coaching is a holistic, empowerment-driven approach that provides individuals with knowledge, self-care practices, and lifestyle strategies to improve pelvic health. Through coaching, I guide clients in enhancing pelvic floor awareness, incorporating mindful movement, breathwork, and habits that promote long-term wellness. Coaching is ideal for those looking to optimize their pelvic health, manage mild discomfort, or incorporate better self-care into their daily routines.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT), on the other hand, is a clinical treatment to diagnose and treat specific pelvic floor dysfunctions, such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, or post-surgical rehabilitation. PFPT involves medical assessments and may include manual therapy, hands-on techniques, and specialized interventions to address pelvic health concerns.

In short, pelvic floor coaching centers around an empowerment-driven approach to pelvic wellness, while pelvic floor physical therapy is designed to diagnose and treat specific conditions. Both are valuable, but they serve different purposes based on your needs.

Though I am a licensed physical therapist, I am offering coaching services only and not physical therapy. If you require a medical diagnosis or treatment for a specific pelvic floor condition, I recommend seeking the appropriate clinical care.

Do I need to have a specific pelvic floor issue to work with you?

Not at all! My coaching is designed for anyone looking to connect with their bodies, enhance self-love, and improve overall well-being. Whether you're new to pelvic health or looking to deepen your self-care, coaching can provide valuable support and guidance on your empowering journey toward wellness.

What can I expect from a pelvic floor coaching session, and what does it involve?

In our coaching session, you can expect a supportive and empowering environment focused on enhancing your connection with your body. Each session typically involves a combination of discussions, targeted exercises, and mindful movement practices.

We will start by exploring your goals and any areas of focus you have regarding your pelvic health. I will guide you through exercises designed to increase pelvic floor awareness, incorporate breathwork, and develop self-care habits that promote long-term wellness.

Additionally, we may engage in discussions about self-love and body positivity, helping you to cultivate a deeper understanding of your body and its needs. Each session is tailored to your individual journey, ensuring that you feel supported and empowered throughout the process.

Overall, you can expect a holistic approach that not only addresses pelvic health but also fosters a sense of empowerment and self-acceptance.

What should I do to prepare for my first coaching session?

To prepare for your first pelvic floor coaching session, here are some helpful steps you can take:

Reflect on Your Goals: Take some time to think about what you hope to achieve through coaching, including specific areas of focus or questions about your pelvic health.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Dress in attire that allows for movement, as we may engage in exercises and mindful movement practices.
Bring Relevant Information: If you have any medical history or specific pelvic health concerns, jot them down or bring them up during the session for personalized guidance.
Bring a Journal: Consider bringing a journal to record insights and exercises we discuss, reinforcing your learning and progress.
Be Open and Honest: Approach the session with an open mind and be prepared to share your thoughts and feelings. Honest communication helps me support you effectively.
Prepare for Discussion: Think about your current self-care practices and any discomfort you might be experiencing.

How long does it take to see results?

While results can vary by individual, even one session may lead to noticeable improvements in body awareness and confidence. Keep in mind that goals and consistency play a pivotal role in achieving quick and lasting shifts.

Yes, I am a licensed physical therapist. However, in this coaching practice, I am only providing pelvic floor coaching services and not physical therapy. My focus is on empowering you with tools, self-care practices, and lifestyle changes to improve your pelvic health and overall welless. If you require a medical diagnosis or treatment for a specific condition, I recommend seeking appropriate clinical care.
