Prepare, strengthen, and heal your pelvic floor — so you can move + feel your best from preconception to postpartum

Stuck trying to piece together your own exercises and still confused by all the advice out there about pregnancy and postpartum?

If you're preparing for pregnancy, getting ready for birth, or navigating postpartum, you've probably heard it all.

​

Most advice starts with "just do your kegels",  "wait until postpartum", or "this is your new body" 

​

The truth? None of those are real solutions.

​​​

That's where I come in.

 

I help women cut through all the confusion with whole-body, personalized pelvic health physical therapy that prepares, strengthens, and heals — so you finally know what your body needs at each stage.

You deserve more than "just do your Kegels" and cookie cutter advice.

My approach goes beyond Kegels — blending nervous system awareness, movement, and hands-on treatment to create lasting results from preconception through postpartum.

What my patients have to say:
 
"I have been struggling with painful intercourse and urinary problems for years. I got to the point where I saw a urologist, gynecologist, and endocrinologist, but the person who helped me the most was Dr. Melissa. She really listened to me during each of our sessions and gave me an at home plan with tracking and helped me get my life back throughout my postpartum recovery. I am now able to pee without feeling like my pelvic floor is tight, and I am back to pain free sex and feeling like myself."

You don't have to do this alone. Let's make a clear plan for your healing.
