Mother ~ lescence Amy Ilic

I hope you enjoy this super informative episode with Kim Vopni AKA The vagina coach. She wants you to keep your pelvic health top of mind!

She is on a mission to break through taboos and redefine how we think about women’s health. Light Bladder Leakage is NOT 'just part of being a woman'.!

She wants women to know how to connect to their pelvic floor so they can overcome challenges like incontinence and organ prolapse and regain a sense of control and power in their lives.

Enjoy!

I am so excited to be releasing this podcast with Kaitlin!

She has a degree in psychology, a diploma in early childhood education, a certificate in forest school education and most recently, a baby-led sleep and well being specialisation.

Her practice is rooted in respect and connection-centered approaches.
