Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 66 I had a lovely chat with Jake Jackson-Wolf of B’Well Counseling Services to talk all about how he got started with B’Well and how it has grown into the incredible therapy clinic it is today.

Jake & I immediately hit it off when we first met in Fall 2024. What started as a lunch meeting turned into a four hour conversation and an incredible new connection between our practices. During that discussion over business models and treatment approaches I realized that Jake (& Katie) have carefully curated an amazing team of practitioners that have a wide range of specialities making it tough not to find someone who is a great fit for your needs.

Hopefully with this podcast episode you will get a glimpse into what I saw and hear the passion with which Jake drives his team and provides a safe space for all of B’Well’s clients. Since recording this podcast episode I have had the opportunity to connect with more of B’Well’s providers and they are all just as awesome to meet.

Head over to B’Well Counseling Services to check out their line up of providers, read through the bios, and when you’ve found the provider (or two) who feel like the best fit be sure to send them a message to discuss starting your care!

Also be sure to check out What’s a Dad to Do? a therapy group for fathers! They meet virtually on Mondays from 4-5pm.

Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 65 I continued our two part series on when & why you should see a pelvic floor therapist during your pregnancy - this time for reactive care.

When a patient comes into pelvic floor therapy reactively (i.e. as a result of pain or symptoms) we have plenty of things to assess & treat to keep them as comfortable and mobile as possible during pregnancy.

Common symptoms or areas we treat during pregnancy:

• Pubic symphysis pain and sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
• Pelvic floor tightness and pain
• Pelvic floor weakness including heaviness sensations and urinary leakage due to stress or urge
• Low back, hips, abdominal weakness
• Breathing
• Upper back discomfort from changes at the chest during pregnancy
• Any other issues head to toe that may pop up

If you didn’t get to pelvic therapy before delivery and are just now finding us, don’t worry! You are still welcome here!! If you have not delivered yet or aren’t even to the phase of trying to conceive but these methods intrigue you, give us a call!

Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 64 I review when & why you should see a pelvic floor therapist during your pregnancy for proactive care. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we review how pelvic floor therapy can help with reactive care.

When a patient comes into pelvic floor therapy proactively (i.e. without any symptoms) we have plenty of things to assess & teach to set them up for success.

• The current state of the pelvic floor - Is it tight? Weak? Coordinated? Does it need some help?
• Navigating continued exercise and movement throughout pregnancy and how to modify when things become too difficult or aren’t feeling as easy as baby grows.
• Labor & delivery prep for helping to prevent stalls and know ways to move during delivery with or without medication.
• Perineal massage to help reduce tearing during pregnancy.
• The knowledge of what was going on in the body before delivery as compared to after delivery to minimize the common question we hear of “was it like this before my delivery?”
• And a feeling of coming back home to share your birth story in a familiar and welcoming space.

If you didn’t get to pelvic therapy before delivery and are just now finding us, don’t worry! You are still welcome here!! If you have not delivered yet or aren’t even to the phase of trying to conceive but these methods intrigue you, give us a call!
