Common Pelvic Health Conditions We Treat

    I can't begin to express my gratitude for Jenn. I was 5 months postpartum from having twins and I knew my core strength was weak and at the time didn't realize my pelvic floor was as well. Intercourse was painful, but I thought this must be what happens after carrying two large babies at once! I had a cesarean birth. I get tears in my eyes when I think about that moment in time, and Jenn gave me back so much more than strength in my core and pelvic floor. I was able to feel like myself again. I was diagnosed with a little over two finger width diastasis recti, and pelvic dysfunction. Jenn made me feel comfortable and listened, she recommended exercises, and yoga movements to help repair and gain core strength back. She is a true professional. Her practice is gradual and methodical, and compassionate. I noticed progress every week in every area. In less than a year, I was running a 10K, back to my exercise classes, I could strongly lift my babies out of their cribs and I felt like I could confidently be intimate with my husband again without feeling anxious of the pain. Jenn is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her!
