Struggling to get properly diagnosed and treated for endometriosis can be frustrating! 🤦‍♀️

As a healthcare provider, I often see patients whose symptoms suggest endo but are dismissed by doctors. Laparoscopic surgery is the best way to diagnose endo definitively.

I've had patients travel out of state to get the surgery. It was life-changing, and being validated about their pain was powerful for their healing process. 🧘‍♀️

Don't give up if you suspect endo - advocate for yourself and seek out specialists who will take your symptoms seriously. I'll help you find them! Reach out to me at [email protected]. ✨

Cisgender women, on average, seek help for 7-12 years and see 5 healthcare providers before they are correctly diagnosed with endometriosis. 😮

And if you’re part of a marginalized community - if you’re Black, a person of color, trans, or nonbinary? The statistics are even more dismal.

Endo was once callously called a disease of middle and upper-class white women. It was never limited to them. They’re just the only ones who were heard and believed (I’m looking at you, U.S. healthcare system). 👎

Did you know that endometriosis is not just limited to the pelvis? 😲

It can be found throughout the body, including the abdominal cavity and diaphragm. There are even a few cases of it in the brain! 🧠 Who'd have thought?

Let's raise awareness about this condition and support those battling it. Comment below if you know someone affected by endo. 👇

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, so it’s time for my annual “F**k Endo” rant! 🖕

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that affects millions worldwide. It’s not just “bad periods” - it can cause severe pain, affect bladder and bowel function, impact s*x life, and lead to fatigue and fertility issues. It’s time to stop downplaying the effects of endometriosis and start taking it seriously. 👏

I’m here to help those who have (or suspect they have) endo, whether through physical therapy or advocating for better healthcare. Reach out to [email protected] to learn more! 💜🌈

I see lots of v***as. 🌸

Please trust me when I say every v***a is different. Variability is far more normal than the narrowly defined standard you see in p**n. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Taking the time to really get to know your body is a beautiful form of self-care. If you're considering pelvic health PT, feel free to reach out for a consultation. I'm here to support you! 💜🌈

Celebrating your v***a includes taking good care of it! 🌹

Here are my tips for a happy, healthy v***a:
💜 Let your v***a "breathe"! Wear cotton underwear, and try going commando at night (loose cotton shorts are a comfy alternative).
💜 Avoid harsh soaps (even feminine washes!) inside your l***a. Warm water is typically enough to cleanse your v***a.
💜 Change out of sweaty underwear and tight clothes after you hit the gym.
💜 Choose unscented tampons or pads.
💜 Wearing a pantyliner because you're leaking urine? CALL ME. Let's stop the leaking so your v***a isn't next to a damp pantyliner!

If you're regularly experiencing v***ar irritation, see your medical provider. Your v***a is trying to tell you something, and your provider can help you restore your v***a to tip-top health!

Hit me up at [email protected] with any questions!

An all-clear at your 6-week post-partum check-up doesn't mean it's time to resume your usual fitness activities! 🙌

Your body isn't ready to return to running. 🏃🏻‍♀️ And heavy lifting, while one of my favorite stress-relief activities, can lead to bigger problems down the road if your body isn't ready. 🏋🏻‍♀️

It's important to listen to your body and build a solid foundation before jumping back into your fitness routine. Let's work together to get you back in the game safely! 🌈

I’m thrilled to announce I’m hosting my new workshop, “PT For My What?!” at Flourish Wellness Collective!

In my practice, I have always believed in taking a holistic approach to healthcare, and this class will explore how pelvic health is linked to psychological, social, and energetic well-being.

This is a unique opportunity to discover how pelvic health is much more than just the pelvic floor muscles and the physical body.

During this informative session, we will meet in a small group setting to learn from each other, share our stories, and gain knowledge that will empower us to take control of our health.

Space is limited! Reserve your spot today at https://bit.ly/ptformywhat

Your 6-week postpartum check-up is just the beginning of your healing journey. 💪 📣

Your v***a and va**na may still be tender, especially if you had tearing. It makes you want to jump right back into penetrative s*x, right? 🙄

Don't suffer through painful s*x just because an arbitrary timeline says you're healed. Reach out at [email protected], I'd love to help! ✨

You know those magazine covers with celebrities talking about how quickly they got back into their bikini after giving birth? 👙

Yeah, f**k that that s**t. 🙅🏻‍♀️ 🚫

The changes of pregnancy don't miraculously disappear when your baby is earthside. Your belly won't be flat. Your v***a may be swollen and sore. Your uterus will bleed.

And all of that is normal. Healing from any kind of delivery takes time. Give yourself grace, Momma. 💜

Let's talk about how pelvic PT can help you navigate your 4th trimester! Ask me questions in the comments. 👇🏻

I'm going to spill the tea ☕:

In December, my body hit the damn wall. I experienced fatigue that was only rivaled by what I felt with COVID. I had to rest. It was no longer a choice.

I know I'm not alone, and lots of my patients have also had their health affected by pushing through life like a headstrong bull. 🐮 Sometimes, we have to.

But eventually, we have to take care of ourselves. We have to cut back on the hustle and bustle and prioritize our well-being. 🛑

Stay tuned to learn how I can help you put your health first from the comfort of your home! 💜

Why is a pelvic PT harping on you about sleep? 🤔

My work involves helping others in their healing process, and talking about the importance of quality sleep is just good patient care!

I'm learning the truth in this. 💜

I'm resting for real. And I only feel a fraction of the guilt I would have in the past. I'm still a work in progress. 🧘🏻

If every fiber in your being tells you to rest, rest. It's not about deserving; it's about need. 🛏️

Here's to a New Year filled with joy, ease, and rest. ✨ 🌈
