Wanda Cotie (pronouns she/her) is a sexual wellness expert who has helped thousands of individuals develop and nurture more fulfilling relationships with their partners and with themselves. Over more than two decades, Wanda observed just how prevalent pelvic floor issues are and was struck by the depth of impact they often have on people's lives. Pelvic floor issues can range from mild to very serious and many individuals suffer in silence. Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can greatly reduce issues, increasing overall quality of life.Wanda believes that every person should have the opportunity and support to maintain a strong pelvic floor.

Wanda took it upon herself to invent such a product, and the Femme Flexor was born.With the help of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Silvia Saraiva, the Femme Flexor's innovative shape provides ease, comfort and effectiveness.

In this special November episode of The Pelvic Floor, Core & More podcast, we're slowing down… and breathing into the most powerful medicine for your nervous system, your pelvic floor, and your entire healing journey: gratitude. This isn't the forced kind. This is the somatic, real, root-down kind of gratitude that helps your body feel safe enough to release, reconnect, and rise. Whether you're navigating pelvic floor pressure, pain, prolapse, or just the overwhelm of motherhood — this episode will help you:

In today's insightful episode, we dive into the importance of pelvic floor health with Dr. Marina Magri. Together, we explore common misconceptions and challenges many women face, particularly during and after pregnancy. We talk about the crucial role of awareness and education in preventing and managing pelvic floor dysfunction, including issues like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Dr. Marina shares her journey into specialising in pelvic health and why she's passionate about helping women understand their bodies better. We unpack how factors such as stress, pregnancy, and training techniques can impact pelvic floor function, and why proper guidance and support are key to long-term health. We also discuss how to prepare for labour, understand pelvic dynamics, and separate fact from fiction when it comes to pelvic floor training. This episode is all about empowering women with the knowledge and confidence to take proactive steps, from incorporating pelvic floor exercises to seeking professional help when needed, so we can all support better pelvic health, education, and awareness.

Send us a textIn this week's episode from the vault I answer some diastasis recti related questions that come up regularly.I also talk about the having to take a break from rehab exercises. Of course it happens regularly that life gets in the way, is that a probolem or is it just not that big of a deal?Here are the questions I cover;1. I'm not sure I'm doing the home workouts right. When there is a spot that says "breathing (lying)" or "(standing)", does that just mean I do the upward motion breath that many times while lying or sitting? (I explain why we do this) And am I supposed to breathe up from my lower abdomen as shown in the breathing video every time I exhale in an exercise?2. So, I was super diligent the first 6 weeks, but then I had a whole bunch of things come up right after the other and I've been pretty inconsistent for the last 6 weeks. I got all the way through weeks 1-4 and noticed a huge difference in strength and my diastasis gap and then got half way through weeks 4-8. I've done the workouts off and on since then but my gap seems to have digressed and gotten bigger... is that possible or am I imagining it? And if it is possible, how do I stop it from spreading apart again, are there certain motions I just can't do anymore? 3. Are the exercises you have us do in this 12  week program safe for early pregnancy as well, or just for postnatal?4. And last question, how will I be able to tell once my body is strong enough again and how can I know that my diastasis is healed? (Since it's apparently normal to have a small gap there, I'm not sure how to tell once I've achieved a healthy level of separation.)As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!

We also cover weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy, why they're not a long-term solution, and the importance of muscle, stress reduction, and nutrition for midlife wellness.Plus, Betsy shares her top tips for pelvic health, including Kegels, topical oestrogen, red-light therapy, probiotics, and boric acid resets, and her golden rule for midlife self-care: give yourself grace.It's an honest, empowering and incredibly informative conversation we all need to hear.Linkshttps://buymeacoffee.com/amandaryderBetsy's Pelvic Floor Store that she mentionedJust by clicking on the link you will receive 10% off Betsy's productsThe Pelvic Floor Store:  https://pelvicfloorstore.com/discount/BETSYGREENLEAFSTORE  https://pauseinstitute.comhttps://www.instagram.com/drbetsygreenleafAmanda Ryder Registered Nutritional Therapist ~ Author of Feel good for Menopause @amandarydernutritionhello@amandaryder.co.ukwww.amandaryder.co.uk

Pelvic floor stuff doesn't have to be embarrassing or confusing! Nikki from The Belle Method joins me to chat about what your pelvic floor does, signs of dysfunction, and how to protect and rehab it through pregnancy and postpartum.

In this episode of Health Gig, Doro and Tricia welcome Erica Ziel, a core exercise specialist and the founder of Core Athletica pilates studio.

In this episode, I sit down again with Mindy English, Orthopedic & Pelvic Health PT with a background in sports and orthopedics based here in Eagle, Idaho. Mindy and I have done several episodes together as part of our pelvic health series for female athletes, and this one takes on a topic that doesn't get enough attention: constipation, gut health, and how they connect to pelvic floor symptoms.   We dive into how digestion, nutrition, and pelvic health are deeply interconnected—and how constipation can affect everything from athletic performance to prolapse symptoms. Mindy shares what she sees clinically in both adults and kids, and we talk through why simply “eating more fiber” often isn't the full solution.   This conversation is real, relevant, and full of practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and anyone who's ever struggled with gut issues or pelvic health symptoms.       Follow Mindy English for more pelvic health insights: @mindy.english.dpt       Learn more about the Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Certification: https://join.pregnancyandpostpartumathleticism.com/ppa-cert     Are you a pregnant combat athlete?

When it comes to pelvic floor healing, everyone's talking about the core, the hips, and the breath… but almost no one is talking about your feet.

Your pelvic floor is ready and waiting for you to break up with these habits:Power-peeing – Going to the bathroom is not a race. Forcing urine out or relieving yourself as fast as you can causes more harm than good to your pelvic floor. Hovering – This seems like a natural solution to avoid germs in public restrooms. But hovering over the toilet tenses your muscles which makes your bladder work harder than it needs to.Peeing “just in case” – Went 15 minutes ago? Maybe going once more is a good idea … or is it? Whether you're heading out for an errand or a road trip, going again “just in case” is training your bladder to go more frequently.  If you're ready to take back control of your bladder, you'll want to listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast. In Part One of our pelvic floor podcast series, you'll hear from urogynecologist Nabila Noor, MD, and rehabilitation clinical specialist Karen Snowden, PT, DPT, with Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health. How do you know if you have a pelvic floor disorder? What bathroom habits are harming your pelvic floor? How many times a day should you urinate? Can bladder training help? Which exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.Chapters:     · 0:01 - Intro     · 0:17 - About your pelvic floor     · 3:31 - When your pelvic floor changes     · 6:49 - Signs you may have a pelvic floor disorder      · 15:54 - Treatment options     · 17:45 - Bladder leaks and overactive bladder      · 20:26 - How to address overactive bladder     · 23:56 - When to stop drinking before bed     · 29:06 - Bathroom no-nos     · 34:07 - Bladder training

In this emotional episode of The MamasteFit Podcast, perinatal fitness trainer and birth doula Gina shares her personal stories of two back-to-back pregnancy losses in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. She discusses her experiences, the journey of managing losses while working within the perinatal community, and the challenges of handling pregnancy after loss. The episode aims to de-stigmatize pregnancy loss and provide support by sharing her struggles, professional insights, and coping mechanisms. Co-host Roxanne, a labor and delivery nurse and student midwife, contributes medical context to Gina's narratives. The episode concludes with a reflection on the importance of early pregnancy announcements for community support and how each individual's experience of loss and grief is unique.

Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician (Preventive/Addiction Medicine) with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health, revolutionizes trauma healing by revealing how our cells—not just our minds—store trauma. Her book "The Biology of Trauma" (foreword by Gabor Maté) transforms our understanding of how the body experiences and holds trauma. After adopting a child during medical school sparked her journey, she developed an integrative science-based sequence for the healing journey. Through her practitioner training, podcast, YouTube channel, and international speaking, she bridges functional medicine, attachment and trauma therapy, proving that repairing trauma's impact on the mind, body and biology is possible.www.biologyoftrauma.comhttps://www.instagram.com/draimie/?hl=enhttps://www.youtube.com/c/DrAimieApigian_________________________________________________________________________________________Come join me in my Buff Muff community www.buffmuff.comThank you so much for listening!

We all know that we need to brush and floss — but when was the last time you checked whether you were doing it right? In this episode, I share a surprising insight into the similarities between oral hygene and pelvic floor restoration: we think we're doing the right thing, but often we're missing the spots that matter most.Jump in to discover:

If you've ever been told to “just strengthen your core” for back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, or leaking , this episode is your wake-up call. Because here's the truth → your core doesn't work alone. It's part of a powerful kinetic chain: your feet, hips, ribs, shoulders, and everything in between, all working together to create strength, stability, and balance. When one piece of that chain isn't functioning properly, your entire system compensates. That means your “core problem” might actually start in your feet, hips, posture, or even your breath.

Send us a text Could belly support bands, kino tape, belly wraps etc. be the hidden key to postpartum recovery? What about wearing one during your pregnancy, will that actually help prevent diastasis recti/pelvic girdle pain etc? In today's episode, I discuss the real deal with taping and belly bands during pregnancy. Despite their popularity, there's a lack of evidence to suggest they prevent diastasis recti; instead, strengthening exercises prove to be the more effective method. I talk about what they do help with, how you should use one and what you should be looking for if you're looking to buy one.I also tackle the widespread claim that oats, brewer's yeast (and other supplements) are the answer to increased breastmilk production. The conversation doesn't end there – we dive into the emotional whirlpool that new mothers face, especially the fear of not producing enough breast milk; a concern for a staggering 76% of mothers, according to a survey. I examine the reliability of this statistic and the societal pressure to steer clear of formula supplementation. Here's the link to the brewer's yeast study.I also talk about Geraldine DeRuiter's highly anticipated book "If You Can't Take the Heat,". This is one that I'm really looking forward to reading when it comes out, and when I clear the HUGE stack of books on my bedside table.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

If you've been following along, you may have noticed things look a bit different around my practice. In this episode, I'm sitting down with my amazing team—Karen Bradley (NP) and Grace Prete (pelvic floor PT)—to talk about why we transitioned to concierge medicine, changed our name to the GSM Collective, and what this all means for the care we provide. We discuss how insurance restrictions meant that even when we spent 30 minutes with patients more than most providers could offer it still wasn't enough time for patients with complex conditions like PGAD, vaginismus, and chronic pelvic pain who needed proper evaluation and treatment. Under our new concierge model with Ms. Medicine, we can now offer 90-minute first visits for pelvic floor patients, co-treat in the same appointment, and collaborate seamlessly to address the full spectrum of each patient's needs.Grace walks through what actually happens in pelvic floor PT, dispelling the anxiety many patients feel about internal exams. She explains her three-year journey from orthopedics to discovering her passion for treating chronic pain with emotional and physical components. The conversation covers why "just do kegels" is often wrong advice, how tension creates weakness, and why a tight pelvic floor causes urinary incontinence despite conventional wisdom.We also emphasize that pelvic floor dysfunction isn't just about postpartum issues it affects children with constipation, teenagers on hormonal birth control, athletes overworking their cores, and menopausal women with GSM. Highlights:Why we left insurance-based model. How concierge medicine allows 90-minute first visits and same-day co-treatment between providers.Why pelvic floor PT should be preventative, not just reactive to pain and dysfunction.How nitrous oxide helps those who are anxious progress through dilators in single sessions.How TMJ, back pain, and anxiety all connect to pelvic floor tension and clenching.Why pregnancy itself damages the pelvic floor regardless of delivery method.If this episode helped you understand the importance of pelvic floor therapy and comprehensive sexual medicine care, help other women discover this information by subscribing and leaving a review.

Fall is here, and it's one of my favorite times to reset, slow down, and reconnect with what feels grounding and good. In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite fall things, from the foods that nourish your body to the cozy routines that support your mind and mood. You'll learn how to support your immune system naturally, eat in rhythm with the season, and bring more intention into your movement and daily routines. Think warm soups, slow walks, breathwork, and gratitude... the simple things that make this time of year feel balanced and alive.

In this episode, we're diving deep (literally and figuratively!) into one of the most important yet often misunderstood parts of our bodies: the pelvic floor. Joining us is the incredible Dr. Allison Oswald, a pelvic health specialist who helps women reconnect to their bodies through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. We unpack what the pelvic floor actually is, why it deserves your attention (hint: it does way more than just hold things in place), and how to support and strengthen it through mindful movement, breathwork, and awareness. We also talk about healing after birth, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, including ways to process and care for yourself after birth trauma. This episode couldn't have come at a better time it was recorded it just days before Teresa gave birth, and she ended up using many of Dr. Oswald's techniques during her own postpartum recovery!

Have you ever said to yourself: “I know what I should be doing… but I just can't seem to do it”? Whether it's exercising, eating well, or taking 10 minutes for yourself, most moms struggle with follow-through — and it's not because you're lazy, unmotivated, or broken. The real issue isn't willpower. It's your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist and women's health advocate, breaks down why so many moms get stuck in the gap between knowing and doing — and how to finally break the cycle. Because healing your body isn't just about what you do. It's about how supported, regulated, and empowered you feel while you're doing it.

When women think about pelvic floor healing, most picture core work or maybe glute bridges. But here's the truth: your upper body strength has just as much to do with your core and pelvic floor as your abs or hips. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, explains why your shoulders, back, and arms matter more than you realize — and how strengthening them can actually protect your pelvic floor, improve your posture, and help you manage pressure through your entire core system. Because your daily life as a mom isn't just squats and kegels. It's carrying babies, pushing strollers, lifting car seats, hauling groceries, and sitting for feeding sessions. And if your upper body isn't supported, your core and pelvic floor take the hit.

Most women are told that leaking, prolapse, or back pain is just because their core is “weak.” Or that they need to do more kegels. But here's the truth: the real problem usually isn't weakness. It's pressure mismanagement. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, breaks down why pressure management inside your core is the missing piece no one is talking about — and why ignoring it keeps so many women stuck with symptoms like leaking, prolapse, and pain. If you've ever wondered why your exercises, kegels, or “getting stronger” haven't fully fixed your issues, this episode is going to be a game-changer.
