Leaking when you sneeze or workout?
Feeling pressure, heaviness or disconnected from your core?
Tight hips or low back that always seem to need stretching?
Or maybe you’ve been told to “just do Kegels”… but you’re not even sure if you’re doing them right?
🌸 Join the Vulvas! We’re bringing the Pelvic Floor Reset Retreat back!
This time, I’m teaming up with Sherri Moore, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist and owner of Essential Physio & Wellness , for TWO hours dedicated to helping you better understand your pelvic floor and what your body actually needs.
We’ll combine pelvic floor education with breathwork, core connection, gentle strength, stretching + release — giving you practical tools you can actually take home and use.
✨ September 29
⏰ 7:00–9:00 PM
📍 Essential Physiotherapy & Wellness, Brantford
💗 $79 + HST
And we’re keeping this one small and intimate with only 8 spots available.
No awkwardness. No TMI 😉

A little more personal than my usual posts. 💗
This week I went for a mammogram and breast ultrasound.
Breast screening has been something I’ve been proactive about for years. I started having mammograms at 37 because breast cancer is part of my family history, and I’ve also had a cyst that has been monitored for the past two years.
Both of my grandmothers had breast cancer. And this past December, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Thankfully, my mom listened to her body. Something didn’t feel right, she followed up, and her cancer was caught early.
With my family history changing, I’m now applying to Ontario’s high-risk breast screening program to determine whether I qualify for additional screening.
And it got me thinking about how much of women’s health comes back to the same thing:
Know your body. Know your history. And advocate for yourself.
I talk about this all the time with pelvic health too.
Leaking may be common.
Heaviness and pressure may be common.
Pain may be common.
Changes may happen after pregnancy, birth, postpartum, through perimenopause and menopause.
But “lots of women experience it” isn’t a reason to ignore what your body is telling you.
You don’t have to obsess over every symptom or assume something is wrong.
Just pay attention. Ask questions. Get the appropriate screening or assessment. And surround yourself with healthcare and fitness professionals who will listen and support you.
Being proactive with our health is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves. 💗

BIG NEWS — Krystal Schouten | Pelvic Floor Fitness Coach she/her is coming to Essential Physio & Wellness ! 🎉
Starting September 14, you can officially work with me one-on-one, in person at Essential Physio!
You want to get stronger and feel confident exercising — but when you’re dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, core weakness, pain, injury or changes in your body, it can be hard to know what YOUR body actually needs.
That’s where I come in.
As a Pelvic Floor Fitness Specialist, I provide individualized training to help you build strength, move with confidence and better understand your body.
While much of my work focuses on women’s pelvic health through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause and beyond, one-on-one training is available to everyone — including men.
Training can include:
• Pelvic floor + core training
• Rehab to strength training
• Pain, posture + movement
• Breathwork + pressure management
• Pregnancy + postpartum fitness
• Perimenopause + menopause support
• Injury recovery + return to exercise
• Personalized strength + fitness
One of the things I’m MOST excited about is working alongside the incredible team at Essential Physiotherapy & Wellness.
You can work with me while receiving treatment to complement what you’re already doing, or as your next step after treatment.
It’s about bridging the gap between rehab, exercise and real life — so you can take what you’re learning and actually use it to squat, lift, carry, run, exercise and do the things you love with more confidence.
One-on-one sessions start at $75 + HST, with 4- and 8-session packages available.
