I’m so glad you asked ;)

It looks like a lot of talking to start. Your story is very important. I’ll inevitably have a lot of questions for you, and some of them might surprise you. I will ask you how you poop. That will happen. And then sometimes — not always, and never if you don’t want to — we’ll do an internal pelvic exam. Occasionally, if there’s a long history involved or we have to cover something more complex, we may not get to a pelvic exam in the first session. If that’s something you want to prioritize, just let me know and I’ll be sure to plan our time accordingly.

There will almost always be a bit of an anatomy lesson and I’ll also ask you what success looks like for you. As with all my treatments, this is a collaboration. I’m here to guide your experience and help you get where you want to be.

Initial Assessments are 55 minutes and cost $180

Follow up appointments are 40 minutes and cost $135

In certain cases shorter follow up appointments are appropriate which are 25 minutes and cost $100- for pelvic health related issues I typically recommend a minimum 40 minute follow up appointment.

To start, you should book at least 2-3 follow up appointments after your initial assessment, typically about 1-3 weeks apart. I encourage you to book these at the same time as your initial appointment to keep that continuity of care and ensure you get the slots that work for you. As to how many you’ll need, that’s a great question and I don’t have the answer. It’s different for every body. What I can tell you is, when it comes to pelvic floor physiotherapy, it’s not like typical orthopedic physiotherapy or an acute injury where I need to see you twice a week for “X” number of weeks. It varies from person to person. But the idea is that you don’t need me in the long run.

OF COURSE YOU CAN. What kind of perinatal care provider would I be if you couldn’t bring your baby with you? I am super skilled at singing The Wheels on the Bus or holding babe while you change. That being said, I do encourage you to come on your own so that you can focus on you.

The thing is, this means you had a human being grow inside of your body, stretching your abdominal wall and pelvic floor for 9 months. Then you had a major abdominal surgery. So YES, seeing a pelvic floor PT is still a good idea regardless of how you delivered your baby. I also have specific training in c section rehab.

Painful sex, urinary incontinence, urgency, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse and other forms of pelvic floor dysfunction can occur at any point and don’t need to be related to having kids- so yes, if you’re dealing with any of that- this is right for you.
