In today's empowering episode, we have the pleasure of welcoming two incredible guests from Bloom Physical Therapy & Wellness, Dr. Mary Garces and Dr. Amanda Uting. Together, they bring us their unique expertise as founders of a trailblazing mobile pelvic floor physical therapy practice and their heartfelt experiences as mothers and doulas.

As we unravel their personal journeys into pelvic health, propelled by their own injuries and life-changing moments, our guests share their commitment to educating and aiding women through various stages of life, from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. The discussion opens up about the often under-discussed topics, from pelvic floor issues, such as urgency and back pain, to perimenopause and infertility, emphasizing the unique needs of women's health which are finally gaining deserved attention.

We also discuss their experiences as doulas and what a doula actually does during labor. They share their own birth experiences and how that has shaped their approach in their practice.

Join us as we discover the miracles of childbirth, challenge the stigmas of perinatal mental health, and explore the healing modalities for postpartum recovery.

Highlights:

-The power of self-advocacy and informed decision-making during pregnancy and delivery cannot be overstated. Understanding your options and preferences greatly influences the childbirth experience.

-Postpartum recovery is pivotal. Strategies such as rest, proper nutrition, and appropriate physical therapy can significantly enhance recovery and overall well-being after delivery.

-Physical therapy for pelvic floor health is an under-discussed but incredibly important aspect of postpartum care, addressing issues like diastasis recti, incontinence, and pain, and promoting overall stability and comfort.

-Younger generations are at the forefront of not accepting the status quo and are demanding better care for their overall health.
