Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
“As a holistic therapist and mother of two children, I understand the myriad emotions that come with the unique journey of pregnancy. It's a time filled with wonder, challenges, excitement, and perhaps a bit of fear all at once.”
– Dr. Olga Kaltsou
The miraculous transformations happening in your body during pregnancy are accompanied by a certain mystery. Each pregnancy is unique, and the aches and pains vary for every woman.
These discomforts can limit your movement, affect how you sleep, walk, sit, and feel throughout the day. Anticipating how you'll feel afterward is uncertain. One proactive step you can take is to begin pelvic floor therapy.
Just as your pregnancy is a mystery, so is the postpartum period.
Mood swings, exhaustion, and frustration may be part of your experience. Common challenges include urine leakage, back and neck pain, pelvic floor discomfort, weak core muscles, and concerns about your body's appearance. Figuring out how to exercise might add to the confusion.
These are normal concerns, and we are here to help.

"Olga is a wonderful physical therapist and has a tremendous amount of expertise in managing pain and inflammation. She leverages a range of techniques including manual lymphatic drainage massage which I was relatively new too and it helped a lot. She has a kindness and empathy for her clients that is remarkable."

"Hands-down the best I've ever worked with. Her knowledge of the body is simply unmatched. I've had physical therapists work on one muscle or muscle group before, but Olga knows how each group connects to each other group and how one thing can impact another. She's taught me correct posture, correct breathing, and more, which have made a massive impact on my daily pain and general life happiness."

"Pilates used to scare me - I never thought I’d be able to do something that seems so intense. But Evellin makes the challenge fun, and slowly has taught me how to use the machines and how to do more complex exercises as my body has gotten stronger. She is also so patient with me and makes each session so fun. Olga and Evellin have been such an integral part of my recovery and are such wonderful and empowering women."

"I've been through more than a couple of PTs. I highly recommend this place as Olga and Everlyn go out their way to ensure my wellness and healing. Did I mention the best and professional massage that really works? Olga showed me even how to get up from the bed with my shoulder pain. I'm exceedingly happy with the place. If you're serious about saying goodbye to pain, you now know where to go."

Some women just assume if you’ve given birth, gone through menopause, or you’re getting older, this is the result, and they don’t talk about it.
If your mother didn’t talk about it, your grandmother probably didn’t either, which may leave you feeling embarrassed with little to no knowledge about what’s happening to your body. You do not have to live with shame and discomfort in regard to your pelvic floor.
And you don’t need an obvious problem to start therapy for your pelvic floor. It’s wonderful before, during, and after pregnancy and childbirth, to proactively strengthen the muscles in and around the pelvic floor and to help the healing after a vaginal or cesarean birth.
