Many factors can influence a woman’s sexual well-being. For postpartum women, physical changes like weakened pelvic floor muscles, hormonal fluctuations, and childbirth-related injuries can lead to concerns such as painful intercourse, decreased libido, or difficulty with arousal. However, these concerns aren’t limited to new mothers. Women experiencing menopause, chronic stress, or past trauma may also face challenges with their sexual health.
Beyond the physical aspects, concerns like bladder leaking during intimacy can significantly impact a woman’s confidence and enjoyment of sex. At Empower Women’s Health & Wellness, I take a holistic approach to addressing these concerns. I recognize the interplay of physical, emotional, and mental factors and strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss your concerns.
Sexual concerns in women often have deep connections to pelvic floor and nervous system health. One frequent concern is dyspareunia, or painful intercourse, which may result from muscle tension, vaginal dryness, or scar tissue from childbirth. Another is vaginismus, where involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles make penetration difficult or painful. Pelvic muscles that are too tense or trauma can be exacerbated by weakened pelvic muscles or trauma sustained during childbirth.
Low libido and arousal disorders are also common, often stemming from postpartum hormonal imbalances, stress, relationship challenges, or other life transitions. Additionally, concerns like bladder leaking or accidental bowel movements during intimacy can cause significant distress and impact a woman’s desire for sexual activity.
Empower Women’s Health & Wellness understands how disruptive these concerns can be to physical health, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. My pelvic floor therapy program is designed to treat the underlying causes, providing relief from pain and discomfort while also enhancing sexual function. I am here to help women find relief and return to a fulfilling and healthy intimate life.
Effective treatments for sexual concerns vary based on individual needs. Pelvic floor therapy is a core treatment, helping to retrain, relax and lengthen muscles involved in sexual response and alleviate pain. These targeted exercises improve muscle control, ease conditions like dyspareunia, and enhance overall sexual function.
For those with a history of trauma or are sexual assault survivors, I may adjust my treatment approach to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
In some cases, hormone therapy may be appropriate to address issues related to menopause or postpartum recovery. I believe in a collaborative approach and may recommend working with other healthcare providers to ensure you receive comprehensive care for all aspects of your sexual 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.
At Empower Women’s Health & Wellness, I understand that pelvic health issues can affect more than just your physical well-being. They can impact your confidence, your relationships, and your overall quality of life. We’re here to help you reclaim your body and rediscover the confidence and joy you deserve.
