FAQ

What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

PFD, simply stated, is when the muscles of the pelvic floor are not doing their job. Weak muscles cause issues like stress incontinence, prolapse and back pain. Overactive muscles cause issues like urge incontinence and pelvic pain. This course addresses both.
Is this course appropriate for me if I have a weak pelvic floor?

Yes! All techniques and practices taught balance and strengthen the pelvic floor.
Is this course appropriate for me if I have an overactive pelvic floor?

It is! This course begins with practices to release and relax the mind and body with a focus on the pelvic floor muscles. Techniques taught first release - then strengthen - to rebalance this important muscle group.
What if I have Pelvic Pain?

Pelvic Pain is commonly associated with an overactive and/or weak pelvic floor. The techniques taught in this course address both relaxing and releasing chronically contracted muscles and brings in gentle but effective strengthening to bring balance back to the body and the pelvic floor.

Testimonials

Amazing Experience!

Jessica N

My experience with Alicia was phenomenal. Not only did she help me physically, but she helped me mentally. Learning the proper breathing techniques has helped in my day-to-day life. I really enjoyed learning the different exercises and why they are important for certain parts of your body! I went specifically for pelvic floor therapy due to some postpartum issues. I definitely feel an improvement and now it’s all about the self-discipline to keep it up. Thank you, Alicia!

Pelvic Peace Indeed!

Jenny H

Alicia made me feel heard and understood for maybe the first time since my pelvic floor issues started causing me so much pain. Her guided imageries allowed me to really connect with and feel my pelvic floor and the relaxation practices taught me I could actually let go and relax. The program she designed for me has made such a difference in my recovery.

Life Changing!

Amber C

Alicia has helped me more in three sessions than two visits to the urologist. I’ve probably gone from peeing 20-25 times a day to 7-10 times. This is literally life changing for me. She is extremely passionate about what she does and cares about each individual. She develops a special plan geared to you personally. I tell her every time I leave a session with her that I feel like a million dollars!!!
