My very honest thoughts for medical providers and patients trying to discern who to work with: The best provider is the one who knows what they don’t know. The one who stays in their lane and is well-connected with other experts. The one who says, “I’m actually not sure about that, but let me do […]

I believe our bodies are designed to heal, and they let us know when we’re not living well. When I’m exhausted during the day, my body might be indicating that I need more sleep. If I’m hungry after eating an hour earlier, my body might be indicating that I need more protein. If I feel […]

Have you ever been in a group of moms laughing about not being able to jump on the trampoline anymore? Or about how they have to wear black leggings to the exercise class? Or how they need to run out of the room as soon as they start jumping jacks? I have. Numerous times. And […]

15 years ago, no one was talking about the pelvic floor. Most women didn’t even know what the pelvic floor was! And any pelvic floor issues (leaking, prolapse, painful s3x) were 🫢 – most women didn’t dare talk to their doctor about it, less one another. While I’m thankful for WAY more awareness about the […]

POV: you think you’re too old to fix your leaking, you need to have surgery to fix your prolapse, and running to the bathroom every hour or two is “normal” if you’re over 40. But let me ask you this – Are you too old… No? Then you’re not too old to fix these issues!Why? […]

1. Your story deserves to be heard. Sharing your story is a huge step towards healing. We often minimize our stories, thinking they aren’t important. But processing and sharing your story is a necessary step towards getting well. There is not enough time to do this in traditional medicine – we’re rushed through appointments because of […]

Mom #1 has her first baby. She’s always been super active and pretty fit. But she ties much of her identity to her fitness, body, and what she can accomplish. She believes a GOOD workout is at least 45 min long, and she’d honestly rather do a bunch of hard cardio than strength train because […]

POV you walk into PT feeling frazzled. Running to the bathroom every hour at work. Getting up 3x a night to pee. Wearing a pad every day becuase you leak. Feeling overwhelmed. But after just THREE appointments: TRUE story. This patient is real, and her results are NOT unusual.This is, in fact, something I see […]

To STOP believing only what my eyes can see. My eyes can only see a very small glimpse of what God is actually doing. I get an inch of sight, and His plans and purposes go on for miles. He is orchestrating an incredible plan we would never dream of, but we limit our belief […]

It’s easy to judge someone’s body when you don’t know their story. So often we’re quick to judge how somebody looks, their weight, body shape/size, & make assumptions about their health, discipline, & so on. But the truth is this: you don’t know their story, & you haven’t walked in their shoes. You don’t carry […]
