Doctor of Physical Therapy · Founder of Connect
I've been a pelvic floor PT for over 15 years, and after my first baby I became my own patient. I was leaking every time I ran, then came the prolapse, and the workouts I'd always relied on made it worse.
After my third, a surgeon told me I'd need a sling to run without leaking. I said no, built my own way back with breath, strength and a lot of patience, and I run leak-free today. Connect is that approach, built for you.

The 5-Minute Pressure Reset
Four positions and one breath that take the pressure off before any workout. It's the same reset I start every member with in week one.

What women are saying
I'd seen three pelvic floor PTs. I learned more in the one week Reset phase than I had with my in-person visits.

Nine weeks in and my core is stronger. By far and away the best home program.

I'm a fitness professional with two C-sections. This is the best program I have ever used. I upgraded to yearly.

I'm a pelvic floor PTA and I was leaking when I ran after my baby. Seriously the best program out there.

Postpartum I'd lost so much muscle and had severe sciatica. Now I'm on the advanced programs and rarely have sciatica.

It gave me tools other programs and pelvic floor PT didn't. Activities that used to hurt don't anymore.

Since I joined, my urinary urgency has almost completely gone and I have better bladder capacity.

The cues helped me sync my breath and activate my core in a way I didn't think was possible, 15 years after my C-section.
