Before I heard the pelvic floor PT diagnose me with prolapse, I suspected I had it, but to hear her actually diagnose me, stung my heart.
It felt like a death sentence, "game over".
I immediately felt like I had aged 20 years.
I blamed myself for not taking better care of my body during and after my pregnancies.
I saw all my fitness and movement actives going out the window.
I saw my body forever changing due to perpetual lack of activity.
I saw my organs falling out of my body.
And then I sunk into depression, something I had battled a decade earlier.
There was NO one there telling me
"It's going to be ok."
”You can start over.”
”You can re-learn how to move!”
”You can optimize your pelvic floor.”
”You can train your body to be strong again”
”You can support your pelvic floor with strong glutes, functioning cores, amazing breathing habits and lifestyle habits.”
No one was saying, THIS IS NOT THE END! THERE ARE TOOLS! THERE ARE SOLUTIONS! THERE IS SUPPORT.
I had to go out and find all that myself.
I had to use trial by error to learn to engage my pelvic floor-also to better relax it because while I had prolapse, I also OVER-RECRUITED my pelvic floor.
But 4 years later, I'm here to tell you that YES, there is a way forward.
You can heal and conquer this.
You're probably NOT already doing all the things, even if you think that you are.
We have LOTS of dials to play with to help you move, and train and live symptom free again!
What dials??
Better alignment and posture habits -do you have the correct information on what “good” posture is?
The BEST breathing strategies-there’s a LOT of confusion about the breath and the UNDENIABLE life-changing role it plays in rehabbing your pelvic floor.
Strength training-you were told not to exercise, right? Not to lift heavy? WRONG!
Lifestyle-has anyone told you how your sleep, feet, guts and mindset are impacting your pelvic floor?!!!
I put it ALL here in ONE course, Hold Up! See more info below!
I designed it for women that need to have structure, but don't want to feel overwhelmed or like they are failing...the timeline is self-paced.
I share movement tips and exercises that we can use all day long every day, in exercise AND in normal life.
I keep it real and encouraging, because I KNOW what it's like to feel hopeless, broken and embarrassed.
There's a LOT of garbage messaging about what it is to be an "empowered" women these days.
There's a heck of a LOT more to being an empowered woman than being sexy, selling your body to get what you want and performing like a porn star in the bedroom.
And I'm here to tell you that, one way to feel empowered is to KNOW, APPRECIATE and ENGAGE with your body.
To train it to do great things, whether that's just surviving daily life orcrushing goals.
Conquer prolapse
Changing these 5 habits changes EVERYTHING!
