This conversation with Sarah Newman is an important conversation about what happens when someone has to deal with a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, the emotional and physical journey undertaken and how to not only undergo this trauma but to come out the other side and use your experience to help others going through cancer treatment.

Sarah is the founder of Get Me Back, and a cancer exercise specialist. She is a driving force in using movement to help people manage the side effects of cancer treatment using evidence based strategies. She shared her story with me and these were some of my key takeaways:

Sarah is an amazing example and advocate for living well during & after cancer treatment and she continues to serve cancer survivors & thrivers globally. You can find her on Instagram as Get Me Back.

Sarah is a graduate of my online Breast Cancer Rehab course and I'm looking forward to welcoming her onto my Female Pelvic Oncology Rehab course.

Hi everyone!

This episode with Dr Noa Goodman explores the concepts of being trauma informed, establishing a therapeutic alliance, why a biopsychosocial approach is central to working with all patients, whether we are talking about pelvic pain, hysterectomies, gender affirming surgeries.

we also talk about:

*the importance of creating safety for optimal healing

*paying more than lip service to psychosocial aspects of care

*recognising the role of culture, religion, privilege and intersectionality

*working together to establish a treatment plan

*regulating our own nervous system before we work with anyone else's

*why there's no one 'right answer' to patient care

*the importance of collaboration & feedback

Noa gives specific strategies for having those conversations, both with ourselves and with the people we are working with, from how to reset our nervous systems, to using the PLISSIT model in patient care. We talk about how implicit biases can affect how we interact with other people...the need for clear explanations and boundaries, watching out for dissociation, and of course, avoiding re-traumatising people who are already traumatised.

I hope you find this conversation as thought provoking & self reflective as I did! As always, if you have any questions, please let me know -

Until next week,

Onwards & Upwards!

Welcome to Episode 17 and my conversation with Dr Julie Granger on the intersection of the roles of the clinician & the health coach.

In this episode, we discuss:

I'll have a Coaching Masterclass coming out before Christmas (just need to finish the Hysterectomy course first...) or if you're interest is in female athlete's pelvic health, that is covered in my online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass: Menstrual, Maternal & Menopausal Health (and you can also check out earlier episodes of this podcast where I discuss female athlete health with luminaries like Emma Brockwell & Grainne Donnelly in season 1)

It is my great pleasure to bring you this conversation with my friend and colleague Dr Sinead Dufour!

Sinead brings together both her clinical nd research expertise, her skills as both a women's health physio and a seasoned health coach who understands why a lifestyle approach is essential for for good pelvic health in general and of course, her trademark practical advice that you can start using with your clients immediately.

If you're listening to this on the day it goes live, you'll probably know that yesterday was World Gynecologic Oncology Day, but in fact the whole month of September is Gynae Cancer Awareness month.

To mark this and to help with treatment planning, I'm delighted to share this bonus episode where I was delighted to chat with Amanda Olson who not only is a renowned PT but is also the director of Intimate Rose, who make a fabulous range of wands and dilators for pelvic health.

Amanda and I discussed the use of these valuable tools to help folks with pelvic pain and/or living with the after effects of pelvic radiation. We talked about the importance of using these devices in a biopsychosocial framework and of course when NOT to use them, especially in the context of radiation treatment

Well! I finally feel like I've processed all of the amazingness that went into Pelvicon 2023 and I had to share the brilliance of my fellow presenters (make sure you are following them and @pelvicon_official on Instagram!)

In this episode I go through all the presentations & share some of why they were so brilliant. If you are listening to this on the day it comes out, remember that this is the last day to purchase the recordings but if the FOMO is hitting hard, the dates for Pelvicon 2024 have been announced & tickets will go on sale Black Friday - don't miss out!

A huge shutout to the founders of Pelvicon Nicole Cozean & Jessica Reale (have you listened to their interviews on the podcast yet?) and of course Jesse Cozean & Andrew Reale who went above and beyond in making it such a superb event.

A reminder that if you were at Pelvicon, you can use your 50% discount code on any (or all!) of my online courses but only until the end of the month.

Until next time! (I have a brilliant guest lined up for next week so make sure you're subscribed! and a review would be much appreciated to!)

This episode may change how you design & deliver your rehab programming!

That's a big claim, but this episode lives up to this promise.

Teresa Waser is a Canadian physio who designed and developed TIIPPSS-FC, a framework to facilitate change in the way that we help people with pain, pelvic health issues, and performance.

We talked about pelvic health, sports performance, especially equestrian sports and the challenges and opportunities in truly embracing a biopsychosocial approach for optimal results

Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast!

I'm so pleased to be back, bringing you some fantastic conversations about women's health in general and pelvic health specifically.

Today's guest is Clare Bourne, a UK based pelvic health physio and author of 'Strong Foundations - Why Pelvic Health Matters' and that's exactly what we talked about!

Clare is very active on Instagram and is passionate about pelvic health at every age - we covered a lot of ground in this chat, from teaching children the proper anatomical names of their body parts, to the importance of good pelvic health at menopause and beyond.

To celebrate Season 2 launching, I'm also delighted (and proud!) to share an essay my daughter Morgan Lyons recently had published, called 'in case of emergency...' which I thought was a good fit for the conversations we have on this podcast - you know I'm fond of saying #knowledgeispower but we still have some work to do in getting that knowledge out there!

I'm going to be gallivanting again over the next few weeks, first to Pelvicon in Atlanta and then to ICS so I'm looking forward to sharing those adventures & any clinical pearls I pick up along the way (if you can't make it to Pelvicon, you can purchase the recordings here)
