Bowel dysfunction encompasses a variety of issues that disrupt normal bowel control, including constipation, fecal incontinence, and irregular bowel habits. These challenges can significantly affect women’s quality of life, especially after pregnancy, when hormonal fluctuations and physical changes can lead to gastrointestinal disturbances. Many women may experience discomfort, embarrassment, and emotional distress, which can impact their daily routines, relationships, and overall well-being.
Pelvic floor health is an often overlooked link between bowel function and overall wellness. Empower Women’s Health & Wellness understands that maintaining bowel health is essential to women’s overall health. My compassionate and supportive approach aims to address both the physical symptoms and the emotional challenges that accompany bowel dysfunction. I am dedicated to providing tailored solutions that not only improve bowel function but also enhance overall wellness, empowering women to regain confidence in their bodies.
Women may encounter several prevalent conditions related to bowel dysfunction. Constipation is a common issue, characterized by infrequent bowel movements and difficulty passing stool. Women may find themselves struggling with discomfort and bloating, which can hinder their daily activities. Fecal incontinence is another significant concern, where individuals experience a loss of control over bowel movements, leading to feelings of shame, anxiety, and isolation.
In addition to these conditions, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can affect many women, presenting symptoms like cramping, abdominal pain, and unpredictable bowel habits. Pelvic floor dysfunction also plays a crucial role in bowel health, as hyperactive or extremely tense pelvic floor muscles can significantly impede can significantly impede proper bowel control. I offer personalized support and expert guidance to help women understand and overcome these challenges, restoring their bowel health and confidence in everyday life.
Addressing bowel dysfunction begins with a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of the issue. Pelvic floor therapy is essential in this process, focusing on relaxing and lengthening the pelvic floor muscles to allow for a more complete bowel movement. This therapy includes targeted exercises designed to improve muscle tone and coordination, ultimately enhancing bowel function. Dietary adjustments, such as increasing fiber intake, maintaining hydration, and adopting a balanced diet, also play a critical role in promoting optimal bowel health.
At Empower Women’s Health & Wellness, I am committed to providing comprehensive, individualized treatment plans designed to help you regain control of your bowel health.

Jamie is the best! She helped me get through some horrible flares. She is knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. She helped equip me to continue my journey of strengthening and healing on my own, not leaving me dependent on her forever. I’m so grateful to have women like Jamie whose whole career is to come along side women, educating and equipping them to become a stronger version of themselves again. I always looked forward to my appointments because I knew she was going to help me find relief. If you’re in need of a pelvic floor physical therapist Jamie is your girl!
I was referred to Jamie by another medical professional. I had multiple issues postpartum after a very long labor (diastasis rectus, pelvic floor issues, tailbone misalignment, etc). Jamie took the time to work with my issues plus strengthening so I can return to my everyday life. She was very considerate and explained step-by-step the cause and effect of each issue and exercise. The manipulations (fascia release) helped immensely and not something I’ve had before at a physical therapy appointment. You will not find this level of care for patients anywhere else for therapy. Jamie is professional and her expertise in women’s health is beneficial. I highly recommend visiting with Jamie at every stage of a woman’s health.
Jamie has been an integral part of my care team and journey toward overcoming hypertonic pelvic floor and pudendal neuralgia issues. I have been seeing different pelvic PTs for years and now that I've finally found Jamie, I'm actually seeing progress and feeling better. She has extensive knowledge of pelvic floor issues, explains things thoroughly, really listens to her patient's needs, and thinks of various ways to treat the issues at hand. Finding Empower Women's Health has allowed for huge step forward in my long healing process. Highly recommend.
