In this first-ever interview on the Connect to Pleasure podcast, I sit down with Dr. Angie Maxwell — pelvic floor physical therapist, founder of Madrona Physical Therapy in Tacoma, WA, and fierce advocate for women’s health.

We dive into:

• What pleasure means beyond sex, and how it weaves through every part of life
• The role of pelvic floor physical therapy in healing pain, postpartum changes, and sexual health
• Angie’s personal journey with pelvic pain, shame-free sexuality, and why she chose to dedicate her career to female-centered care
• What actually happens when you see a pelvic floor PT (and how safe, consent-based, and empowering it can be)
• The importance of creating your “dream team” of providers to support body, mind, and spirit in your healing journey

Together we explore why reclaiming pleasure is essential not just for sexual wellness, but for living fully, freely, and embodied.
