Deanna Lyons is a Somatic Stress Relief Coach who specializes in helping clients cultivate resilience in the midst of stressful and sometimes traumatic lives. She serves brilliant, whole-hearted people who are deeply committed to showing up for everyone else—but who themselves face chronic issues that run the gamut of emotional and physical pain.These champions of others are dedicated to supporting family members, friends, and colleagues. At the same time they're overwhelmed, living on the edge, and fed up with conflicting advice from outside sources. The irony is they have yet to find someone who can support them as they have long done for others. Deanna helps clients connect with their bodies, tune into their innate wisdom, and live life from a place of more calm, comfort, and confidence. Deanna has found both in her personal and professional work that it's critical and most efficient to explore the mind and body together.

You might not think of light as a healing tool, but red and near-infrared light can do some pretty amazing things, especially when it comes to pelvic health. From easing perimenopause struggles to helping your body bounce back after birth, this kind of light therapy is opening up a whole new world for women dealing with pain, discomfort, or intimacy issues. I had such a good conversation with Dr. Genevieve Newton (Fringe's Scientific Director) and Elizabeth Frey (Pelvic Health Physiotherapist) about how this all works, and why more women need to know about it. If you've been dealing with stuff “down there” that no one seems to talk about… this is your episode.   We broke down how light therapy works on a cellular level, why the pelvic region responds so well to it, and how vibration and frequency add even more benefits. Liz shared some powerful stories from her practice, real women seeing real results, like less pain, better intimacy, and more confidence in their own bodies. And Dr. Gen? She brings the science in a way that totally makes sense. Plus, we got into the details of the Pelvic Wand, a little device doing big things for women's health.   We also touched on what the latest research is saying about all this (spoiler: it's pretty exciting), and how to know if this therapy might be right for you. Whether you're healing, curious, or just want to feel more connected to your body again, there's something in this conversation for you.   And quick side note: there's a new Mighty Maca flavor in town! I'm loving the Mango version lately. I mix it with sparkling water over ice or even make it into popsicles—it's a refreshing little boost with all the benefits.

Full show notes & Connect with Jenn here >>If you've ever leaked a little when you laugh, sneeze, or lift something heavy — or felt pressure “down there,” this episode is for you.Pelvic floor dysfunction affects over 52 million women in the U.S. alone. But most women don't realize that's what it is. They assume it's just a normal part of getting older, or something that happens after kids or during workouts — and they quietly live with it. Pee pads get tossed in the shopping cart, and they try not to think about it.But here's the truth: Any kind of leakage is a red flag.In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Lormand, a pelvic floor specialist, to discuss the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and what to do about it.What We Cover in This Episode:What prolapse actually is — and how it develops over timeHow perimenopause and menopause contribute to these problemsWhy Kegels and core bracing are not the answerWhy leaking during workouts, sneezing, or laughing is not normal — and why you shouldn't ignore itHow some simple, targeted exercises can help retrain and strengthen your pelvic floorBONUS: 5 tips to reduce your risk of bladder infections in midlifeSend me your thoughts

What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor? This week, we’re going there. I’m joined by Kim Vopni, widely known as The Vagina Coach, a pioneer in pelvic health education, bestselling author, and founder of the Buff Muff Method. We break the silence around issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, topics often brushed off or suffered through in silence. Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing. We talk about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors, and why habits like straining or skipping water can quietly sabotage your core. If you’ve ever leaked while laughing, or quietly wondered if what you're feeling is normal, this episode is your permission slip to ask questions, get answers, and reclaim your pelvic power. Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Chapter Stamps: 00:00 – Introduction to The Vagina Coach02:34 – Understanding Pelvic Health and Longevity05:38 – The Importance of Pelvic Health in Ageing08:12 – Debunking Myths Around Pelvic Health11:08 – Common Pelvic Health Issues and Their Solutions13:53 – The Role of Kegels and Pelvic Floor Exercises16:34 – Understanding Hypertonic Pelvic Floors19:22 – The Importance of Professional Evaluation22:15 – Practical Tips for Pelvic Health25:01 – Addressing Taboo Topics in Women's Health27:47 – Conclusion and Resources for Pelvic Health Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/d0DsWExJdGcSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's podcast is about prolapse—what it is, how it affects daily life, and what you can do about it. A few weeks ago, I joined Janice Mitchell from MyPFM and had the chance to answer some incredible questions from her coaching group. The conversation was honest, insightful, and filled with the kinds of questions I hear every day in my practice.We talked about whether prolapse can improve after childbirth, how to manage symptoms without surgery, and what to know if you're considering one. I also shared tips on pessary use and how to find a skilled urogynecologist and even addressed one of the most personal topics: sex and prolapse.If prolapse has left you feeling unsure or overlooked, this episode is for you. These are the questions real women ask and the answers they deserve.

Send us a textIn this essential episode, I open up a conversation with Hayley Schoenberg and Dr Margo, where they explain, that far too many women are suffering from postpartum prolapse - in silence. Despite how common it is, prolapse is rarely discussed during pregnancy, and even less so after birth. Yet it can have a profound physical and emotional impact on a woman's life. It's time to break the silence.In this episode, we explore:What postpartum prolapse actually isThe symptoms that are too often dismissed or normalisedWhy so many women feel shocked, ashamed, or let down when they discover they have a prolapseHow the language we use around birth and recovery plays a role in this silenceWhy informed preparation before birth is key to preventing or reducing riskWhat real support looks like - and how we can do betterWhether you're a birth partner, a birth professional, or someone navigating your own postpartum recovery, this episode is for you.Let's shine a light on this hidden struggle and advocate for real change in postpartum care.Get support: Reach out to pelvic health specialists or women's health physiotherapists in your area.Contact Hayley on Instagram - @thebadassbirthcompany Contact Margo on Instagram - @pospartum_pop_pt Margo's Website https://www.p4moms.com for her membership community and resources. If you found this episode helpful, please leave a review and share it with someone who needs to hear this.

A small leak during a big laugh might hint towards a bigger story. In this episode exploring the pelvic floor, Dr. Olga Ramm and patient Nicole Curutchet answer the age-old question- what's really going on down there? Nicole Curutchet starts off by sharing her experience of developing pelvic floor prolapse, which felt like a “tampon that's halfway coming out.” She tackles the issue of finding the right provider, and shares about her surgery and recovery. On speaking out despite stigma, she says, “this is our bodies and it's the truth, and we don't want people to suffer, so why not talk about it?”   For many people with vaginas, pelvic floor leakage, pain, and other symptoms, are often dismissed as just a fact of life. Dr. Ramm and Nicole argue that it doesn't have to be that way. A variety of treatments exist for managing pelvic disorders, including physical therapy, insertable devices, and surgery.   As Dr. Ramm reveals “birth remains the most common inciting injury to the pelvic floor...It's something that affects a whole lot of us.” Dr. Ramm also discusses research that shows that trauma of all kinds impacts the pelvic floor, “almost like a linear relationship between the number of adverse events that you report and the prevalence of chronic pelvic pain.”  In a topic often characterized by silence, Dr. Ramm encourages providers to proactively ask about the pelvic floor. She emphasizes the value of informing patients about all the types of care available to them and respecting patient autonomy: “You don't have to follow a specific algorithm. Let the patient make the choice based on their individual values, their goals for themselves and their own personal case scenarios that they want to avoid.”   Dr. Olga Ramm's Website: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/providers/dr-olga-ramm   UCSF Center for Urogynecology and Women's Pelvic Health: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/clinics/center-for-urogynecology-and-womens-pelvic-health Study That Links Duration of Pushing Phase to Degree of Obstetric Anal Sphincter, Led By Dr. Olga Ramm Injuries: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29324610/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Society of North America: https://www.pelvicpain.org/public The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score   Past episodes of our podcast to follow this one up:   Vagina Obscura: A Conversation with Rachel E.

Are we assessing prolapse in the position where symptoms actually occur?Welcome back to another episode from the Rising Vault, where we revisit some of our most impactful episodes. In this Missing Piece episode, we're breaking down a major oversight in prolapse treatment:

Naga and the team are joined by ‘Why Mums Don't Jump' author and podcaster Helen Ledwick to talk about prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more of the organs in the pelvis slip from their usual position and bulge into the vagina. It's thought to affect around 1 in 3 women. That Time of the Month, part of 5 Live's Me, My Health & I series. Get in touch via @bbc5live on social media.

Midlfe can be a roller coaster of changes - and none more destabilizing and confusing than the hormone shift that starts happening. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone - what is happening in our bodies, and how in the world do we get control?Mary asks: “I'm 50 years old and I'm really trying to educate myself on hormones and hormone therapies. I hear a lot about estrogen and progesterone, but the one that confuses me is testosterone. Why would a women need to take testosterone? What are some of the symptoms it can treat?”In this shortie episode, we bring Dr. Kelly Casperson, a urologic surgeon and the author “You Are Not Broken”, back to the show. Dr. Casperson explains what's going on hormonally and helps clear up some common hormonal confusion.More Resources & LinksListen to EP 402. Feeling Broken?

In this podcast episode I welcomed "The Vagina Coach" Kim Vopni for an in depth conversation about pelvic health for both women and men. Often we think of pelvic health being only important for women but as you see in this conversation, it is equally as important for me. In this episode you will learn; - why pelvic health is important for all at ALL ages - why Kegels and pelvic exercises should not only be a focus post partum - how current education around the pelvis and reproductive organs has done us all a disservice - prolapse and the different types of prolapse - prolapse in men - how heavy weight training and extreme forms of exercise can be a cause for pelvic damage in women - UTIs, vaginal dryness and more. Enjoy and let us know what your thinking in the comments! :) Kim Vopni known as The Vagina Coach holds a BA in Psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Health and Fitness. She is a Restorative Exercise Specialist™, a Certified Personal Trainer, a Certified Pre/Post Natal Fitness Consultant, a Certified Pfilates (not a typo) Instructor and a Hypopressive Method trainer.

In this episode of The Pelvic Floor Connection, I'm talking to you, if you are preparing for gynaecological surgery, or know someone who is. If you're waiting for a date, feeling anxious, or unsure what you should be doing in the lead-up to your operation, this is essential listening.I explore why pre-op preparation is so important and why it's often overlooked. I explain how to become your own best advocate within a strained medical system, when it comes to really healing well, managing pressure in the body, and supporting recovery through breath work and movement.This episode walks you through key questions to ask your consultant in advance of your surgery, how to prepare for the days and weeks after surgery, and why treating your recovery like a “fourth trimester” can make all the difference. You'll also learn the importance of understanding your breathing mechanics, how your pelvic floor works under load, and why cues like “exhale on the effort” can be incredibly protective — both in the operating theatre and beyond.If you're heading into surgery (or supporting someone who is), this episode will help you feel more informed, empowered, and connected to your body through the entire process.     

Hello & Welcome to this episode of the podcast, where we're talking about all things prolapse, with advanced practice women's health physio (& pilates teacher!) Leah Bryans​In today's conversation we discussed the evolution of our roles as physiotherapists, particularly in pelvic health. Leah shared her journey from not realizing the extent of what physio could do to becoming more confident in managing conditions like prolapse. ​We talked about the importance of continuous learning, collaboration with other professionals, and understanding the individual needs of patients, and of course I had to hop on my soapbox about the shift from being mechanics to educators, focusing on facilitating patient progress rather than fixing issues. ​We're both keen to emphasise the need to consider patients' overall health, including their bladder and bowel function, fluid intake, and diet. We also highlighted the significance of assessing patients' pelvic floor movement and identifying risk factors for prolapse​We discussed the potential benefits and challenges of using pessaries for postnatal women, and noted that some women may be hesitant to try pessaries due to psychological barriers, while others may not be seen early enough in primary care or public systems to receive this treatment​We also discussed the importance of building confidence and gradually increasing strength in patients, particularly those with pelvic health issues. ​It's important to remember the the need for a low-threat approach to exercise, focusing on breathwork, relaxation, flexibility, and proprioception at first. We also highlighted the benefits of Pilates as a gateway to heavier lifting and osteogenic activities. ​The conversation concluded with the importance of education in helping patients manage their conditions, including the use of tools like the femmeze for splinting during bowel movements.Leah teaches a prolapse management course with Suzanne Carney (@anatomy-_physiotherapy) and they have an upcoming event in May - contact them for details!And if you'd like to learn more about my online courses, please visit CelebrateMuliebrity.com Until next time, Onwards and Upwards!

We'd be lying if we didn't admit we've giggled over our guest's business name.It's actually downright brilliant. Equal parts funny and straight to the point.Jenn Lormand is bringing some fire today mixed with humor, hope, and healing.She's a published researcher, exercise physiologist, and author.  AND she's been living and thriving with Stage 2 prolapse for the last ten years. After being told an invasive surgery was her only hope following her third birth, Jenn was determined to create her own solution. Together with her Tighten Your Tinkler cofounder (PT + manual integrative therapist Christina Walsh), Jenn developed a new movement-based protocol that allowed her to reverse her pelvic floor symptoms.Before going online in 2019, Jenn and her business partner Christina helped hundreds of New Orleans women reduce and eliminate pelvic floor issues. The Journal of Women's Health Physical Therapy featured their research, confirming the effectiveness of their protocol at ending pee leaks, back pain, and painful sex – WITHOUT kegels or trendy internal vaginal devices.The Tinkler mission is to inspire hope and healing – helping women to heal holistically so they can show up fully present for their lives through at-home programs that are non-invasive and kegel-free.What is Prolapse and How to Recognize It (01:40)The First Step When You Recognize Prolapse or Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (05:45)Every Woman's Body Has a Unique Story (06:30)More detailed notes to come...For more from Tighten Your Tinkler...

As avid lifelong runners, we, Amy and Krystle, know that when you're a runner, you want to keep running through all phases of life! And sometimes, pelvic organ prolapse can feel like it's keeping you from doing the thing you love. One of our most popular blog posts was about running with prolapse.

Our goal for this episode is to help bring awareness to this common issue that happens to postpartum women and bring you tangible tips to help you get back in the game and safely out for a run again!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered.

Menopause is often painted as the end of something, but it's really a new chapter—a time to rediscover your strength and embrace what's next. Today, we're diving into the real, unfiltered stories and tools that can make this transition not just manageable but empowering. I'm sharing my own journey through early menopause at 39 and the powerful lessons I've learned from healers around the world. And with two incredible women joining me, we're breaking down the stigma and showing you what's possible when we take control of our health and our narrative.   Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, a Best-Selling Author and a trailblazer leader in women's health, opens up about the changes no one talks about, like prolapse, and how we can take charge of our pelvic health. Tamsen Fadal, Journalist and Menopause Advocate, brings insights from her PBS documentary The M Factor—a powerful project giving women and doctors the tools to tackle menopause head-on. Together, we're getting real about the challenges and offering practical ways to find balance, feel supported, and thrive during this stage of life.   By the way, if hormonal changes have you noticing hair loss, I've been there too. That's why I created Beauty Locks, a natural formula to support hair growth and quality for all hair types. Check it out at dranna.com/beautylocks and give it a try.

A lot of the changes that happen during midlife and menopause are widely discussed online and on social media - weight struggles, bone density issues, nutritional needs, hot flashes, belly fat, and hormonal shifts to name a few. But what about the challenges nobody talks about? Many women in midlife begin dealing with a bunch of “somewhat embarrassing” issues that can make them feel like their body is just not working properly anymore. Urinary tract infections, prolapse, low libido and other challenges with intimacy, can be really discouraging and impact quality of life. And they just aren't talked about, so how do you know what to do? That's where Dr. Kelly Casperson comes in! She's a urologic surgeon and the author “You Are Not Broken”, as well as the host of the podcast by the same name. In this conversation, we'll discuss: the pervasive feeling of 'brokenness' women often feel regarding their sexual and pelvic health the impact of societal norms on women's sexuality the significance of pelvic health in midlife the role of hormones in women's health and the often-overlooked condition of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).
