On Sunday, October 18, I had so much fun celebrating Senso Kids’ 5th birthday with their wonderful community! 🎉 I presented "All the Senses: Moving, Feeling and Listening to Our Bodies Together", helping kids and parents explore three lesser-known senses: proprioception (body awareness), the vestibular sense (balance), and interoception (noticing what’s happening inside our bodies).

We tested them together by touching our noses with our eyes closed, balancing like flamingos, and jumping 10 times to feel our heartbeats!

And a little reminder for the parents: your body communicates with you, too. Leaking, back pain, pelvic discomfort, painful periods, and changes after pregnancy or during perimenopause are common, but you don't have to ignore them. You deserve support that helps you feel comfortable and confident in your body. 🤍

A huge thank you to Wioletta and Dorota Pietrzak of Senso Kids for welcoming me into your community, and happy 25th birthday! Thank you to all the families and vendors who made the day so special.

Menopause-related pelvic symptoms are common, but they aren't something you simply have to accept as your new normal.

There are different ways to support your pelvic health depending on what's actually going on.

That might include moisturizers or lubricants, pelvic floor physical therapy, movement and manual therapy, or medical treatment such as local va**nal estrogen.

And an important reminder: the pelvic floor isn't always a muscle that needs to be strengthened. Sometimes it needs to learn how to relax, coordinate, and manage pressure.

Your symptoms deserve to be understood, not dismissed.

If you're experiencing pelvic health changes during perimenopause or menopause, talk with the appropriate healthcare professional about your options. 🤍

As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, the tissues of the va**na, v***a, urethra, and pelvic floor can also change.

That can show up as dryness, irritation, urinary urgency, leaking, recurrent UTIs, or discomfort with intimacy.

These symptoms are common, but that doesn't mean you have to simply live with them.

There are treatment and management options, including non-hormonal approaches, pelvic floor physical therapy, and medical treatments such as local va**nal estrogen when appropriate.

Pelvic health deserves a conversation at every stage of life. 🤍

I’m always looking for ways to deepen my manual therapy work and better understand the patterns behind pain and movement.

On September 26–27, I attended a Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT) Upper & Lower Body workshop with Charlie Peebles at the Sycamore Center for Wellness and Applied Medicine.

It was incredibly informative and hands-on, with a strong focus on treating the whole strain pattern rather than just the painful spot. The techniques were technical, therapeutic, and immediately useful.

Charlie created such a kind, welcoming learning environment, and I’m excited to bring what I learned into my manual therapy and Pilates work at Uplift Pilates & Therapy. 🤍

One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing women feel more confident in their own bodies.

That's exactly what I want to create with my Strong Foundations Workshop: practical education, intentional movement, and tools you can actually take with you.

Join me October 25 for this one-time pelvic floor workshop in Geneva.

And we'll put it into practice with a 30-minute movement session.

This is for women at every stage: postpartum, active lifestyles, perimenopause, menopause, or simply anyone who wants to better understand her body.

Just like ice cream, not all Pilates is the same 🍦✨

Whether you're drawn to the timeless structure of Classical Pilates, the fresh approach of Contemporary Pilates, or the personalized support of Clinical Pilates, each style offers something unique.

The best part? There isn't a "right" choice. It all depends on your goals, your body, and where you are in your movement journey.

Swipe through to discover your Pilates flavor and tell me in the comments: are you 🍨 Vanilla Bean, 🍃 Mint Chip, or 🍓 Strawberry?

Save this post for the next time someone asks, "What's the difference between Pilates styles?"

Kinda chic to move your body in a way that actually feels good. 💓

Your posture tells a story. Many aches, pains, and movement limitations can be connected to how your body is aligned throughout the day. That's why every client starts with a Posture Assessment.

By evaluating alignment, muscle imbalances, and movement habits, I can better understand what's happening beneath the surface and create a plan tailored to your needs.

Better posture isn't about standing perfectly straight—it's about creating a body that moves efficiently and feels good. Interested in a personalized assessment?

Let's connect. ✨
