Ep. 53 Virtual Pelvic Health Consultations, with Laura Williams, DPT, founder of Hearth Healing The Mother Wit Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
My guest today is Laura Williams is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Board-Certified Women’s Health Clinical Specialist. She lives in Salida, CO with her husband, 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Laura founded a practice called Hearth Healing, a pre and postnatal pelvic health consultation service that offers accessible information in a 100% virtual space. Though not a substitute for in-person healthcare, pelvic health consultation is a way to bridge the gap in maternal care. Laura believes that everyone has a right to honest, evidence-based, individualized support during pregnancy and postpartum. At Hearth, Laura offers self-management strategies, exercise modifications, early healing tips, and guidance on appropriate resources, products, and providers.
