ABOUT

A doctor of physical therapy, an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach, and a registered yoga teacher.

(I’m also totally obsessed with matcha lattes, hot chips, and colorful yoga pants!)

Hi, I’m Dr Melissa

My great grandmother skied well into her 80s, and my 80 odd-year-old grandparents are two of the fittest people I know.

I’m wiped out after a bike ride, kayaking trip, hiking adventure or day on the slopes with them. 

(My grandparents are one of my inspirations. I even featured them in a YouTube video! Here they are 👉🏼 😍)

These two have taught me the importance of living a full life that’s free of limitations and restrictions.

These two have taught me the importance of living a full life that’s free of limitations and restrictions.

I grew up with an active family. 

And when I say active, I mean really ACTIVE 🏃‍♀️🏔🏋️‍♀️🧘‍♀️

And they’re one of the reasons I work with women like you and believe so strongly in the work we do together. 

❌ Pelvic floor pain, pressure, or prolapse

I teach you how to listen to your body and respond to it with gentle exercises that will help loosen, lengthen, relax, open up, and build a strong core and pelvic floor.

Because you should not have to live with: 

❌ Peeing your pants when you walk, sneeze, jump or laugh

❌ Constantly feeling like you need to pee (even though you just went) 

❌ Not knowing when you need to pee

❌ Deep nagging pain in your hip, back, or joints

❌ Ab separation & diastasis recti

But you are closer than you know to relief.

And some doctor might have told you this is just something you’ll have to deal with. 

Or, they’ve told you: “kegels, kegels, kegels” 🤦‍♀️

Right now, you’re living in constant discomfort.

You’ve likely tried some version of kegels or ab exercises that either didn’t work, or were incredibly painful. 

Here’s why this time will be different: 

📚 I’m a big time anatomy nerd, and this is my area of expertise. 

🧘🏼‍♀️ I believe in working with your body, not against it. These exercises should be pain-free, and I’ll give you many variations so you can find the one that works for you. 

💮 I’ve devised programs and challenges to be gentle – because you don’t have to do hundreds of crunches to heal your body. 

Because when you’re breathing correctly, your core and pelvic floor are able to work together as a system and manage your intra-abdominal pressure. 

That’s crucial because everything in your body is connected. If one part isn’t working optimally, it impacts other parts of your body too.

(Just so you know, I don’t suggest kegels or crunches, and I’ll never give you a sheet of paper with a list of illustrated exercises that won’t help you).


I always start with teaching you how to breathe right.
