Pelvic organ prolapse affects up to half of all women, but it’s still rarely discussed. Learn what causes it, how to recognize early symptoms, and how working with a pelvic health specialist can help you rebuild strength, function, and confidence after menopause or childbirth.

I used to feel self-conscious walking into the gym. Everyone seemed to know what they were doing. There was always a loud guy grunting through chest presses and a woman in matching spandex running on the treadmill while reading a novel.

But after years of using and working in gyms, I’ve learned how to find confidence in that space, and I want to share what worked for me so you can feel at home there too.

Pelvic health and Menopause are getting more attention, and the information is more accessible than ever. Yes, the pelvic floor has changes as soon as estrogen drops!

You can make some changes to your habits to significantly improve or possibly eliminate these symptoms.

Cutting back or cutting it out altogether can bring noticeable improvements in how you feel day to day. We’ll explore the powerful benefits of reducing alcohol during menopause, from clearer thinking and better sleep, to stronger bones and just feeling good in your body.
