Gigi Vera Vincent

Discover the often unspoken journey of postpartum healing as Dr. Kylie, our esteemed pelvic floor physical therapist, joins forces with me to shed light on the significance of nurturing pelvic floor health after childbirth. Together, we're tearing down the taboos and unpacking everything from diastasis and prolapse to cesarean recovery. Dr. Kylie's transition from social work to pelvic health offers unique insights into a holistic approach that interweaves diet, sleep, and stress management for formidable postpartum wellness.

This week's conversation offers empathy and expert guidance for new mothers navigating the complexities of their postpartum bodies. Dr. Kylie makes sense of the relationship between the core, diaphragm, and pelvic floor, using vivid imagery to simplify the intricate dance of pressure management within our bodies. The spotlight also falls on pelvic organ prolapse, unmasking its symptoms and emphasizing the criticality of early intervention. 

With the Beyond Birth program as our guide, we're handing you the tools for a confident and informed postpartum recovery.

  • Understanding the importance of pelvic floor health postpartum.
  • Explaining the interconnectedness of the core, diaphragm, and pelvic floor, and techniques for teaching muscle coordination.
