Where Expert Care Meets Personal Touch

Our clinic is not just about the treatment, it is about creating a personalized healing experience and journeying alongside each patient whether that be transitioning into motherhood, navigating infertility, managing pelvic pain or being successful at potty training. We understand that choosing a pelvic floor specialist is a significant decision in which your comfort is the most important to achieving your goals. Below you will find the reasons why The Perinatal Pelvis stands out as a premier choice for those who are seeking specialized holistic and compassionate pelvic health care.

  1. Focused Expertise in Pelvic Health: We haven’t just stopped at generalized pelvic health education. Our advanced training in pediatrics, pregnancy and postpartum allows you or your child to get individualized, effective and comprehensive care tailored to your needs.

  2. Consistent, Personalized Care: Every session you will see the same therapist. Consistency means that we can really get to know you and journey with you through your healing.

  3. Time and Listening: We want to hear your stories. We allow 60-90 minutes for all sessions to not feel rushed and give you our full attention

  4. Safe Environment: Our clients have identified our clinic as a place that they feel safe and comfortable. Our number one goal is for you to feel that same comfort and we would welcome suggestions to ensure that is the case for you during your care with us.

  5. Individualized: Your treatments are based on your priority that day. We don’t have protocols for treatments and we are not bound by the regulations of insurance so that you can always be at the center of your care. If you are a new mom and feel more comfortable by bringing your baby to the session please know that babies are always welcome.

  6. This is a Partnership: We help you facilitate change and learn strategies to gain independence. We want to empower you to have the knowledge to improve your pelvic health and maintain optimal pelvic health for years to come. Our goal is that you will not need us. If you are a caregiver and bringing your child to therapy we want look at you as a vessel in helping the strategies that your child learns in therapy to be carried out at home.

  7. Driver of Care: We strive to ensure that you always feel in control and agreeable in your care, no matter your age . Pelvic floor assessments have a variety of options to accomplish the same goal, healing can occur without the therapist touching you. Together we will figure out the best plan for you.

  8. Prevention: preventative care is quality care. You don’t have to wait until something is wrong to be supported. Don’t settle for what is common (leaking, pain with sex, constipation, bed wetting, etc). Dysfunction can be minimized by being preventative.

  9. Rebuilding Trust in the Body: The pelvis holds onto memory, but has no sense of time therefore to do this work we have to recognize the trauma, listen to the body and respect what the body needs.

  10. Addressing the Whole Person: We follow a biopsychosocial approach which expands the lens of pelvic floor therapy to provide the most holistic care possible. There are 4 pillars of care that we strive for: Biomechanics which includes your strength, coordination, and ROM of your pelvic floor, and what most pelvic floor therapists primarily work on. Nervous System Regulation which involves learning to listen to your body, breath work and vagus nerve stimulation. Psychology including trauma informed conversations, learning new coping mechanisms, adapting to new roles and routines and finding confidence in your body. Lastly, Social and Emotional Support which includes addressing the struggles of balancing life, developing ways to engage in your community and preparing for transitions such as motherhood, menopause or participating in school.

I know what it feels like when you feel like your body has failed you, I have been there!

I did what I was told by my doctors and thought I was prepared for delivery and postpartum but when it turned out that I needed 2 surgeries after delivery I was left with nothing but pain, leaking and feeling like I would never run again.

I felt overwhelmed, frustrated and alone. I had to do 1.5 years of pelvic floor therapy and realized that my pelvic floor dysfunction was being addressed as if I hurt my knee or sprained my ankle, it was just another place in my body that I was trying to get stronger. BUT, I felt like something was missing, it was so much more than getting stronger! My pelvic floor dysfunction was not just physical, it was effecting my relationship with my husband, my ability to be a mom, I was suffering from postpartum anxiety and had difficulty returning to work. Yet, no one was addressing those things.

From my experience I felt like moms and people with pelvic floor dysfunction deserve better. So I made it my life mission to become a pelvic floor therapist who could provide the kind of guidance, support and holistic care that I felt was missing.

And so The Perinatal Pelvis was born and strives to treat everyone for the person that they are, not just the dysfunction that they are experiencing. If we respect the body, what it has been through and what it is currently experiencing, true healing can be achieved.

I hope that I can journey with you. I invite you to book a free consultation below

I am so glad you are here! As a mom of two, I understand how the overall well being of your child directly impacts your own well being. Just as we share in their success and joys, we often carry their difficulties and burdens as our own, too. 

Bowel and bladder function is an incredibly intimate and pivotal body system, which dictates how we are able to participate in our day to day activities. The same is true with your little one! Maybe your child experiences chronic constipation, bed wetting, waiting to identify when they “gotta go,” until it is “too late,” or sensory dysregulation… the list goes on. Here at the perinatal pelvis, I work with children and their caregivers to establish an individualized treatment plan to help your child achieve their goals as it relates to pelvic health. Whether the goal is pain-free elimination, urinary continence, or improved interoception, it is my passion to help support your child to improve participation and independence in everyday activities.

Thanks Kyrsten"

  • "One of the most valuable things that I have gained is body awareness and appropriate breathing. Having my breath connecting with my pelvic floor has been so helpful for me."

  • "I now understand so much more about my body and pelvic floor, learning what it takes to truly heal after birth and then seeing these things happen over the time of visiting Kyrsten. This helped my life in multiple ways including less pain for myself, a deeper understanding with my husband of what was going on with my body which positively impacted our relationship and being a better mama because I was also being supported."

  • "I am now able to move and workout as I did before my c-section and appendectomy without pain"

    -JF

  • "I appreciate how safe I feel when meeting with Kyrsten and discussing my different issues. For one of the visits, I wanted to address pain while I walk, and she met out on a trail, which was so helpful! It's also so helpful to be able to bring my kids to appointments."
