What we treat  ·  Diastasis Recti

Drowning in conflicting core advice?


That post-baby “doming” isn’t just cosmetic, it’s affecting your workouts, your core stability, and how you carry yourself.

If you’ve been told you have diastasis recti, the internet has handed you a pile of conflicting rules and a fear of every ab exercise. Most advice stops at “close the gap” with endless beginner moves and never progresses you back to real training.

You don’t need more crunches or another fear list, you need a real progression.

Why choose Pelvic Confidence

You don’t have to choose between rebuilding your core and getting back to real training. Most advice stops at “close the gap”; most programs ignore how your core handles load. This is different.

We don’t stop at “closing the gap.” We bridge rehab and progressive strength work so your core can handle the real demands of your day, your workouts, carrying your kids, staying active, instead of leaving you stuck in endless beginner rehab.

Pelvic rehab + strength training

Your core works as a system. Your plan integrates core rehab with progressive, full-body strength, not endless crunches, so your core gets genuinely strong and ready for whatever you ask of it.

Specialized pelvic floor PT

Not every PT who hands out pelvic exercises is a pelvic floor specialist. Your care starts with a comprehensive evaluation and fully personalized 1:1 treatment, from someone who actually understands how an active woman moves and trains.

Built around your life

Most clients meet with me just 1-2 times a month, in person in Lincoln Park, Chicago or fully online, your choice. You won't rearrange your life around weekly appointments; you'll have a program to follow between sessions, form videos, and direct messaging with me to keep you moving forward.

The difference

A traditional pelvic PT clinic

Care that stops at the symptom

  • One-size-fits-all protocols
  • No real support until your next appointment
  • Weekly in-clinic appointments to keep up with
  • In person only
  • Symptom relief, not your whole active life
  • Insurance copays & repeat visits that add up, often costing more

Simple from the start

What working together looks like

Step one

Book a consultation

We start with a short conversation to understand what's going on, what your goals are, and whether this approach is the right fit. You'll leave with clarity, not a sales pitch.

Step two

Evaluation

Your first visit is a full pelvic floor and movement assessment. We look at how your pelvic floor, breathing, strength, and movement patterns work together to find the real drivers of your symptoms. For in-person care, this can include an internal pelvic floor exam, but it's always optional.

Step three

Your personalized plan

From there, we build a plan that integrates pelvic rehab, strength training, and ongoing coaching so you keep progressing between sessions. Most clients meet with me 1-2 times a month, in person or online.

Every season, supported

Every stage. One coach. Zero guesswork.

I work with women across every stage of their reproductive health journey, from trying to conceive through menopause and everything in between. Your care evolves as you do.

TTC

Build a proactive foundation before baby. Optimize pelvic function, dial in your training, and set your body up to handle what's coming, not react to it.

Pregnancy

Stay strong, stay active, stay confident. Trimester-specific programming that evolves with your body, not a generic "prenatal yoga" plan.

Postpartum

This is where most women get lost. I guide you from early recovery to fully back to the activities you love, progressively, safely, without fear-mongering.

Beyond

Perimenopause, menopause, or just life after kids, your pelvic floor and how strong you feel don't stop mattering. Neither does your coaching.

Your turn

Let's stop putting this off

You've been dealing with this long enough. Whether you're trying to conceive, staying strong through pregnancy, rebuilding postpartum, or navigating perimenopause and beyond, your body deserves support that's actually built for how you live.

No more generic advice. No more wondering if what you're doing is helping or making things worse, just a clear plan, a provider who gets it, and a path forward that finally makes sense.
