POST-PARTUM

Stress incontinence after childbirth resolved in one session
Since the birth of my son, I had been experiencing incontinence after sneezing or coughing. After one kinesiology pelvic floor balance with Erin, the issue has been resolved!

No more spit up!
Thank you so much! I feel amazing after yesterday. My daughter and I had the best night ever – we both slept a lot and she fed several times without much fuss or any spit up. Yay! Thank you for working with that as the priority instead of the pelvic floor – I feel a tremendous difference physically and emotionally already.

Postpartum anxiety and depression relieved
I came to Kinesiology Works at the recommendation of my midwife. 7 months postpartum I was suffering from extreme anxiety and moderate depression–both new experiences for me. My attitude was to try any and everything to feel better–therapy, kinesiology and psychiatric care/medication. So luckily, Erin was able to see me before the psychiatrist. After two sessions I felt immensely lighter and more like myself. My therapist was incredulous; my face looked different, she said, and the changes I was describing were “like what people experience when they get on anti-anxiety/depression meds.” Her assuredness that I seek psychiatric care changed entirely.

For me, kinesiology has been paradigm shifting. It doesn’t “make me happy” or “fix my problems.” Instead, it’s like clearing away cobwebs I wasn’t aware of, or putting on glasses when I didn’t know my vision was compromised. Suddenly, the world and myself in it, snap into sharper focus. It’s the same world, but I experience it differently and more clearly.

It is a great shortcoming of our medical system that kinesiology isn’t presented or discussed alongside medicine, or physical therapy, or surgery. It is a healing practice tailored to each patient–no two sessions or procedures are the same–and it, in concert with my own body, can resolve physical, mental and emotional wounds. It is as though I have stumbled upon a miraculous secret. Why doesn’t anyone know about this??!!

Postpartum Recovery
Erin’s Kinesiology sessions post partum were essential to my recovery and healing. By working on the pelvic floor muscles, I was able to connect to the muscles there in a way that I wasn’t able to right after the birth. Specifically, I was able to more effectively do kegel exercises for pelvic floor strengthening and experienced a very quick post partum healing period of the perineum (and also thanks to her sessions pre-birth there was not much trauma or tearing to heal). I also experienced very little to no incontinence issues and what I did experience (when coughing or sneezing), resolved within a few weeks after the birth and our session. At 8 weeks post partum, I feel physically similar to before I was pregnant.

Erin was also able to help me with my breast engorgement issues at the beginning of breast feeding, which was extremely distressing and painful and also made it difficult for my newborn to feed. I was told by my lactation consultant and midwife there was no way to resolve except for pumping and waiting. But it’s not true – Erin can help! By reducing my over-supply enough, I was so much more comfortable physically and emotionally. Also, the flow of milk was more appropriate for my baby and she could latch better. We cleared it up quick enough that nothing more serious (like mastitis) ever came up.

My baby had developed colic around 4 weeks old and the session helped to resolve it within days. We thought we were going to have a colic-baby for months. It was seriously like magic – she went from 5 hours of solid inconsolable crying in the evening for 3 consecutive nights to 4 hours, then 3 hours, then 1 hour and now if she fusses at night it is never more than 45 min. Amazing!

I am so grateful for such a profound healing experience during such an exhausting and demanding time as new motherhood! Erin is a compassionate and knowledgeable practitioner and has a true gift for helping women and their families during pregnancy, post partum and early pediatric care. My experience of her sessions are always positive, with an instant feeling of relaxation, and the results unfold for days after we meet. I would trust her with any of my closest friends/family for true healing!

My pelvic floor and belly restored!
After giving birth I had also a session with Erin for getting my pelvic floor muscles+ stomach muscles back into “their place” since I felt my pelvis very vulnerable and also stomach muscles felt out of place. I needed a session to put them back and “seal them.” It was amazing, after the session I felt they were put back into place and also for my postpartum doctor’s visit they said everything is healing very nicely. I believe the energetic shift that happened helped it. Thank you very much Erin!
