Your first visit is a 75-minute evaluation where we'll discuss your symptoms, health history, goals, and concerns. I'll also perform a hands-on assessment to identify areas of tension, muscle guarding, fascial restrictions, scar tissue restrictions, movement patterns, and nervous system responses that may be contributing to your symptoms.
You'll leave with a better understanding of what your body is holding, why your symptoms may be occurring, and a personalized plan of care.
No. Internal assessment and treatment are always your choice.
Many women find the internal assessment helpful because it allows me to directly assess pelvic floor muscle tension and coordination. However, we can accomplish a great deal through external assessment and treatment if you are not comfortable with internal work.
Vaginal mapping is a gentle assessment used to identify areas of tension, tenderness, muscle guarding, sensitivity, or restriction within the pelvic floor muscles.
During the assessment, I use a gloved finger to gently evaluate different areas of the pelvic floor and vaginal tissues while checking for comfort, muscle tension, coordination, and your body's response to touch and pressure.
Many women are surprised to discover that certain areas of the pelvic floor may be holding tension without them even realizing it. Vaginal mapping helps us better understand where your body may be protecting, guarding, or holding stress so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
This assessment can be especially helpful for women experiencing:
* Painful sex
* Vaginismus
* Pain during gynecological exams
* Difficulty using tampons
* Pelvic pain or pressure
* Birth preparation concerns
* Persistent pelvic floor tension
Your comfort is always the priority. Vaginal mapping is completely optional, and you are in control throughout the entire process.
Yes. I am trained in Mercier Therapy, a gentle, hands-on approach that improves pelvic mobility, circulation, and organ function. It’s especially supportive for women navigating fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or recovery from gynecological surgeries.

Many women are surprised to learn that pelvic floor muscles can be overactive and tense rather than weak.
Pelvic Unwinding is my signature approach to helping women release tension held within the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues.
Many women are told to strengthen their pelvic floor when what they actually need is to learn how to relax it.
By combining hands-on treatment, movement, breathwork, body awareness, and nervous system support, I help women identify where their body is holding tension and teach them how to let go.
Pelvic Unwinding is commonly used to support women experiencing painful sex, difficulty with pelvic exams, pelvic tension, and those preparing for labor and birth.
