Kind Words

"Surabhi is truly the best at what she does. After two difficult pregnancies and c section recoveries, I began virtual 1:1 physio 4 months postpartum. I was so nervous to begin as I felt so weak in my body. Surabhi instantly made me feel comfortable, heard and safe. She is relatable, warm, knowledgeable and professional. After understanding my goals, she has given me a realistic plan alongside analogies, explanations and feedback during our virtual sessions. I feel connected to my body more again with her knowledge and guidance. I have gained confidence in safely rebuilding my strength and connection to movement. I feel like I’m becoming familiar in my body again and that truly is something I cannot be more grateful for. Thank you Surabhi so much for everything.” -Holly U

Hi, I’m Surabhi! (pronounced Soo-ruh-bee)

My transition to motherhood was challenging to say the least. Not only did I experience major body changes, bleeding and severe nausea in pregnancy, but my abs disappeared postpartum, my bladder was bulging out of my vagina, and I was peeing myself even on short walks. I went to pelvic physiotherapy and left frustrated, disappointed and demotivated. Despite being “fit” pre-pregnancy (I was a competitive runner, cross country skier, cyclist, dancer and rock climber), I was limited to low-impact and boring exercises like Kegels and bridges for months postpartum. I resented my body, felt like I’d lost my identity, and suffered postpartum depression and anxiety.

It wasn’t until I met an incredible pelvic physiotherapist & coach online that my life changed! I stopped feeling like my body failed me. I experienced that you can be strong, confident & athletic regardless of your size, shape, symptoms, scars or stretch marks.

My unique approach

What’s really cool is I worked in sports medicine as an orthopaedic physiotherapist and FCAMPT for 10 years before delving into pre/postnatal pelvic health and fitness over the past 4 years. Many pelvic floor issues begin outside the pelvic floor, and I use my expertise and advanced training in musculoskeletal injuries to address your pelvic health and your whole body. What this means is you get more optimal results right from the start!

I am extremely passionate about the work that I do, and am so grateful that I get to support people in such a pivotal period of their lives! Whether your goals are to chase after your kids, stop peeing your pants, improve your sex life, hike, run, dance and lift weights, I’ve got you! If you want to know how I can best support you, book a free call! Thank you for being here.

💜 Surabhi

LESS leaks, aches & pain.
MORE ease, fitness, & pleasure.
