Customized Pelvic Floor Therapy in Merced, California
We help Moms restore their core and pelvic floor and return to meaningful activities without leaking or pain.
LIKELY, NO ONE TOLD YOU THIS
Recovery after childbirth doesn’t end at 6 weeks. The gift of motherhood comes with emotional, hormonal and energetic shifts that no one can fully prepare you for. And let’s be honest, it is often too easy to put a child’s needs first, normalize the challenges of motherhood and leave them unattended until they are impossible to ignore.
HAVE YOU’VE FOUND YOURSELF
Experiencing bladder and bowel leaks?
Navigating postpartum demands and having difficulty with stress, urge or urgency incontinence can feel overwhelming. With our targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation you can get the relief you have been looking for and feel confident in your body.
Having difficulty resuming intimacy due to pain, nervousness, lack of desire or exhaustion?
Body image changes, dyspareunia, vulvodynia and prolapse can cast a shadow on your postpartum intimacy experience. Provided with a safe space, understanding and gentle guidance, you will be able to enjoy intimacy again.
Feeling unsure and nervous to return to exercise?
The journey back to reconnecting with your body, especially when facing diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction, can be deeply personal. We're here to walk beside you, offering tailored support and guidance to help you feel whole and strong again.
Tightness and pain in your neck, low back, and hips making you feel uncomfortable and affecting sleep?
Your experience of neck tightness, back stiffness, and hip pain is more than just physical discomfort; it's a barrier to enjoying life fully. Our holistic care is designed to break down these barriers, restoring balance and joy in your daily activities.
Struggling to balance being a new Mom with feeling overwhelmed at fitting everything in
The emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood, often accompanied by chronic pelvic pain or tension headaches, deserves compassionate attention. We offer a nurturing environment where healing is as much about emotional well-being as it is about physical recovery.
At Prana Pelvic Health and Wellness we believe in THRIVING, not just surviving after childbirth. Here’s how we help:
Eliminate leaking naturally
Your pelvic floor is one of four inner core muscles that coordinate together, supporting increased pressures to the body. Most leaking is restored naturally by promoting full range of motion and coordination of these muscles
Feel likeyourself again
Expectations to quickly rebound from the physical and emotional changes after becoming a mother can be overwhelming and take a toll on well being. With our guided support you will be able to incorporate a self care routine that is targeted and fits within your lifestyle without overwhelm.
Enjoy intimacy again
Experiencing body image changes and pelvic pain is common post-partum and is often accompanied with fear to return to intimacy. With gentle guidance, relaxation techniques and tailored rehabilitation you will be able to enjoy intimacy. No matter how long it has been, its never too late!

Meet Katie Beach - Your Pelvic Health Therapist Serving Merced, CA
I am here for you as a mother who has been confronted and empowered by her own pelvic health journey.
In pregnancy I found myself feeling isolated despite having a supportive family present. I was determined to have a natural birth that was supported by the safeguards of western medicine.
While searching for providers and explaining my desires for a natural delivery, I got responses like “I have worked with women like you before, it’s ok.” or “Why are you even coming to us? Why don’t you just deliver at home?” I felt threatened, like I was a problem to the system and unsupported to have my child in the way I desired.
I later learned that just the feeling of being threatened can cause pelvic floor dysfunction.
After delivery, I was fortunate to have a friend who was a pelvic health specialist. At my 6 week check up when they would have typically sent me back to work clear to go, I was able to advocate for myself and get referred to a pelvic floor specialist.
I was seen by a pelvic floor physical therapist who was able to support the healing of my physical body. While working together, we both noticed the increased rate of recovery given my background in yoga, trauma informed care, breathwork and relaxation techniques.
That is when Prana Pelvic Health and Wellness was born; the lotus that arose from the shadow of a challenging birth experience. It is my life’s calling to support and empower the wellness in mothers in their prenatal and postpartum journey.
You don’t have to navigate the physical and emotional challenges of motherhood alone.
I invite you to book a free consultation below.
