Did you know that 30% of women become incontinent after giving birth? Here’s the good news: it’s 2023, and we can talk about our vaginas over coffee. Join Laura and Ariel for an evidence-based, no-TMI session where we will talk about all those pelvic health questions you never dared to ask, but you will be glad you know.
Laura Vidal Borrell is a Mother and Entrepreneur. After having her two boys, she spent six years peeing her pants every time she sneezed or run, which led her to create HappySneeze, a digital pelvic floor clinic designed for people with big lives (yes, moms, that’s us!). Ariel Wynne PT, DPT, WCS is a Physical Therapist specializing in Pelvic Health and founder of Pelvic Floor PT in Chicago.
