Kathe delivers some serious knowledge bombs in her Boost Camp! Having worked many years as a Pelvic PT and treating women with prolapse, I was amazed at how much Kathe could still teach me. Her understanding of anatomy is exquisite. This class should not be missed by anyone treating pelvic conditions.

I was surprised by how much knowledge I gained from Kathe’s Pelvic Floor Support Systems online course, even after working as a pelvic PT for 9+ years. All of the information is something that pelvic floor physical therapists should know and be documenting, but has never been taught before! I have a whole new understanding of the fascial tissue, POP and techniques I can apply to my pelvic pain patients.

A Book for Everyone

Information every post-partum woman (from 6 weeks to 60+ years) needs to know about common birth-related changes in the pelvic floor.

Talli Y. Rosenbaum

Giving birth is a monumental event which affects a woman’s identity, self-image, partner relations and consequently, her sexual life. While mood, fatigue, body image and other emotional factors play a significant role in sexuality, physical factors related to childbirth can affect sexual enjoyment and function. With a focus on addressing the physical effects of pregnancy, labor and delivery as well as the role of the pelvic floor, this book empowers women and their partners by providing clear and precise information, illustrations, behavioral advice and exercises. I look forward to recommending this book to my clients.

At long last! A thin volume that addresses the unspoken subjects of pelvic floor pain and weakness and problems with sexuality after childbirth. “Reviving Your Sex Life after Childbirth” demystifies common birth-related changes in the vagina and pelvic floor that are still misunderstood and rarely talked about. Kathe Wallace mixes plain language, excellent illustrations, clinical terms, and practical suggestions with empathy and optimism to transform the discomfort and shame over these symptoms to a hopeful journey of healing and sexual pleasure.

This book will be a great benefit to childbearing women and those who provide care for them.
