Do you experience pelvic pain, discomfort with penetration, bladder leaks, urgency, pressure, or a feeling of tightness or heaviness in your pelvis — especially after changes like childbirth, menopause, surgery, or hormone shifts?
Many people seek help from doctors and are told everything looks “normal,” yet they still don’t feel comfortable in their bodies. Join us for an empowering and affirming workshop designed to demystify pelvic health and support people of diverse gender identities. Together, we’ll explore pelvic anatomy and function, common pelvic floor patterns, and practical strategies for building comfort, coordination, and confidence in your body.
