Supporting women to overcome pelvic floor challenges and reclaim life

Sustainable Pelvic Floor Therapy in Kansas City

The first poop after giving birth can feel scarier than the birth itself. One of our patients was in tears on her couch thinking, “I think I have to go.” She remembered what we practiced — the positioning, the breath, the tricks — and guess what - it was WAY easier than she expected. These are the moments we live for.

You likely didn’t know that…

Maybe you’re like this client

or maybe you’ve found yourself :

You’re three weeks postpartum, holding your newborn in one arm and a laundry basket in the other, when it hits you — that familiar uh-oh rush to go to the bathroom. Between feedings, diaper changes, and trying to remember to eat, you have started to feel like your body isn’t on your side anymore. Together, we talk, we laugh, and we build a plan that fits into your REAL life.

And we prepare for the day that you make it through the grocery store without scouting the nearest bathroom. That’s the win — feeling free enough to focus on the moments that matter.

Experiencing bladder & bowel leaks

“I can’t be with my partner without pain.” You’ve convinced yourself it’s just part of life after birth. Its not. Together we can slow down, tune into your body, and take it step by gentle step to get back to the intimacy you crave.

The goal? “It didn’t hurt this time.” Because intimacy should feel like connection, not something to brace yourself for.

Having difficulty resuming intimacy due to pain, lack of desire or just simply feeling exhausted

Your head is pounding. Your hips are aching. You’ve got baby on one side, stirring dinner with the other and your brain is racing with all the things you still have to do before bedtime. Chronic pelvic pain and tension headaches steal the joy from our days. Together, we work on more than just muscles — we teach your body how to exhale, your mind how to rest, and your nervous system how to trust again.

Struggling to balance being a new mom with feeling overwhelmed at fitting everything in

Meet Amber -

Your Pelvic Health Therapist

Serving Kansas City

I was in OT school when my sister had her first baby. During her delivery, she ended up with an emergency C-section after a long, exhausting induction. The updates were sparse, and by the time I visited her in the hospital, she was bleeding, struggling to move, and clearly in pain. I looked around and thought,

“Who is going to help her?”

That question changed everything for me. I realized how many women go home after major abdominal surgery with nothing but,

“Good luck! Here’s a baby.”

No one tells them how to move without pain, how to protect their healing body, or what recovery can actually look like.

In that moment, I decided that I never wanted another mom to feel abandoned after delivery. So, now, I help women navigate postpartum recovery with compassion, practical guidance, and the kind of support I wish my sister had.

From day one, I’m there to walk alongside them — so they can heal fully, feel strong again, and step into motherhood with confidence.

And I’d love to be alongside you with the same support and guidance I would give my own sister.

    I can’t say enough good things about Amber!

    I went to one of the pelvic floor classes she teaches for prenatal classes and learned so much about how the body changes in preparation for birth, during, and after. I ended up having a scheduled c-section and Amber came to see me after to discuss how to help myself heal. She taught me scar massage, how to help my diastasis recti, how to help with bowel movements, and reasons to make a follow up appointment after recovery.

    I have no sensitivity to my scar, and have been able to help pass her helpful knowledge onto others as well. Amber will give you the knowledge and tools to help your recovery go smoothly and you will be so glad you saw her!

    I worked with Amber as an inpatient after I had a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean). The recovery from my VBAC was completely different compared to my c-section birth; I did not expect nor was I prepared for the stitches, swelling, pelvic heaviness, and overall discomfort I felt. In those first few days postpartum, using the bathroom felt like a chore that I would dread. I was terrified to have my first postpartum bowel movement.

    When it came time, I was in tears as I was sure it would be very painful and I might even pop a stitch. Luckily, I had a handout Amber provided when I was in the hospital outlining suggestions for positioning (placing a folded towel under my feet helped immensely!) and breathing. I remembered the tips and tricks she shared and was pleasantly surprised that it actually wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be. That was only the beginning of my postpartum healing journey, and I’m so grateful to have had Amber’s guidance! 

Wondering where the support is?

Because we know that postpartum isn’t just about diapers and feeding schedules.

For many women, it’s also about pelvic pain, discomfort during intimacy, leaking when you sneeze or run, or feeling like their body has betrayed them. We’ve sat with women navigating conditions like dyspareunia, vulvodynia, and chronic pelvic tension — not just treating their physical symptoms, but creating a space where they feel heard, safe, and supported.

And we want to do that for you.
