In this episode, I chat with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, Dr. Rachael Miller. She uses a holistic and customized approach in working with women to empower them throughout the pregnancy and post-partum journey. We discuss all the ins and outs of pelvic floor health. She provides practical tips for how to identify if you may be suffering from poor pelvic health and her advice on what to do about it.
Dr. Rachael Elizabeth Miller loves helping mamas discover that the process of becoming and being a mother doesn’t have to be scary. Instead, pregnancy, giving birth and postpartum life can be customized to align with what they envision all stages of motherhood to be like. 
So many moms and moms-to-be feel afraid of the unknown and wonder if they are going to be able to handle pregnancy, labor and delivery, and recovery. 
But, what she knows and believes is that mamas have so many tools and skills in their own power that can bring a healthy labor, delivery, and recovery for both mama and baby. 
For nearly 2 decades Dr. Rachael has become a mom to 5 kids via multiple birth methods and settings, and also built a thriving women’s health physical therapy and coaching practice. 
In that process she has learned first hand that each mom’s journey from pregnancy to recovery is unique and can be full of joy and excitement, rather than fear.
