Postpartum & Early Motherhood Resources
This is a list of providers and resources I've come to trust over years of practice in the Pacific Northwest. It's not exhaustive, but every resource here is one I'd send a patient to.
This list grows. I add to it as new providers earn my recommendation and update it when practices change.
Bookmark it — it'll be here whenever you need it.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
A note on choosing a pelvic PT: each of these have slightly different approaches and I may suggest one over another for individual patients. When possible, it's a good idea to do a brief intro call before booking to make sure the fit is right given the intimate nature of the therapy.
