What do digestion, sex, and diapers have to do with improving your relationship with food and your body? Three words. Pelvic floor health.

Your pelvic floor sits at the base of your core muscles, your internal organs, and between your hips. In a sense, it's the foundation that your entire body is built upon.

Sherryl DeVries is a pelvic floor physical therapist. As a former professional dancer, and avid yoga and pilates student, Sherryl has a dynamic approach to functional body movement all to help you actively age with vibrancy.

She also believes in mentoring people to lead a physically healthy lifestyle through yoga, weight training, bodywork; or whatever movement makes you and your body sing!

In our conversation, you'll hear...

• Sherryl's definition of active aging for women in midlife - in other words how to have good poops, great sex, and stay out of diapers.
• How pelvic floor physical therapy helps you to connect with your body in a deeper, more mindful way.
• The role trauma plays in not only pelvic floor health but also in your ability to stay connected to your body.
• Finally, Sherryl offers tips and practices that you can do to enhance your pelvic floor health by adding small, mindful movements into your everyday activities like brushing your teeth to help your pelvic floor stay strong and supportive.
