Greetings, friend!

Cozy October greetings to you! Lori and I are welcoming a new month by hosting Birth Lab this Saturday with 6️⃣ expecting mamas! This is a 2 hour birth prep class where they'll learn about how the baby navigates through the pelvis, how to use movement to facilitate it, important exercises to do prenatally and in the early days postpartum, and tips to improve the experience. This class is completely full [so grateful to do this work!] but will you please reply to this email if you are interested in future Birth Labs?! Let us know what you're looking for!

Did you know that Uprise Pelvic Health is FIVE years old this month? I came to this community with my little family, site unseen, with a dream to help improve the pelvic healthcare of this community. You welcomed us with love, curiosity, support, and love.

But our work isn't done! As always, thank you for walking on this journey with us, for showing up, and trusting us with your care. 🥂Cheers to the next 5!

🎁To continue the celebration, keep scrolling for a little thank you gift!

P.S. I'm launching something!

Okay, so… I’ve been working on something that I’m really freaking excited about. I kept thinking about this weird gap between being in a physical therapy appointment and trying to figure your body out on your own. I kept finding myself wishing there was something in between.

A place where we could talk about the pelvic floor, the nervous system, pain, hormones, emotions, all of it… without everything needing to be turned into a diagnosis or another thing to “fix.” Somewhere we can learn some anatomy, have real conversations, move, breathe, explore the emotional and energetic side of being in a body, ask the awkward questions, and just… exhale a little. All with the guidance of a trusted provider in your pocket, but without the price tag of ongoing one-on-one care.

So I made one. The Root Trust Practice Room is a monthly virtual gathering for exactly that. It’s part education, part embodied practice, part conversation, part community and hopefully a place where you can start feeling a little more at home in your body. 🤍
