I sought out Trapti during my pregnancy after experiencing persistent low back pain in my first and second trimesters, along with very frequent urination. Prior to working with her, I had seen a pelvic floor PT through my insurance and was told my pelvic floor was both tight and weak. While that experience was somewhat informative, the guidance I received - mainly belly breathing and a few yoga exercises - didn't lead to meaningful or lasting improvements.
As an occupational therapist myself, I have an understanding the body and therapeutic approaches, but pelvic floor therapy is not my area of expertise, and there is still limited research in this space. That made it even more important for me to find someone highly knowledgeable and experienced. Trapti is incredibly well versed in this work and is truly an expert in what she does, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout our sessions.
Working with Trapti has been a completely different experience. She takes a truly holistic, bio-psycho-social approach, looking beyond just the physical mechanics. She spent time understanding my stress levels, lifestyle, habits, mindset, and even incorporated a level of spirituality into our sessions that I deeply appreciated. It made the work feel more connected, intentional, and impactful.
The exercises and strategies she provided addressed not only my pelvic floor, but also the surrounding muscles and my overall well-being.
Now at 34 weeks pregnant, I am experiencing zero low back pain, my stress levels feel much more regulated, and I can actually feel my pelvic floor responding and blooming with my breath while also getting stronger in preparation for a natural, medication-free birth.
One of my initial fears was tearing during labor, and Trapti has been incredibly supportive and proactive in helping me work through that concern. I feel confident that I'm being guided in the right direction and truly trust her process.
I'm looking forward to continuing my remaining sessions and love that I can also save some for postpartum care. I cannot recommend Trapti enough. This has been one of the most impactful parts of my pregnancy journey. read more
