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.
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.
Feel like yourself 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.
