Rebuilding Intimacy After Baby: Postpartum Healing, Pelvic Floor Health, and Feeling Like Yourself Again | Birth, Baby! Ep.206
Postpartum recovery is about so much more than the six-week checkup.
In this episode of the Birth, Baby! Podcast, host Ciarra Morgan sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Jensine Chavez to discuss postpartum healing, pelvic floor health, painful sex after baby, body connection, and rebuilding intimacy after childbirth.
We talk about the physical and emotional changes many women experience postpartum, why intimacy can feel different after having a baby, and how women can begin feeling strong, confident, and connected in their bodies again.
Whether you are newly postpartum or years into motherhood, this episode offers compassionate, evidence-based education about healing after birth and support for women navigating pelvic floor symptoms, body image struggles, and intimacy changes.
About Our Guest:
Dr. Jensine Chavez is the founder of Shine Through Strength Physical Therapy, a pelvic floor and orthopedic practice in Georgetown, Texas. She helps women Move With Confidence through every stage of life from pregnancy and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond.
Dr. Jensine specializes in treating pelvic floor concerns such as leakage, pain with intimacy, constipation, and pelvic heaviness, as well as orthopedic conditions including back, hip, knee, and shoulder pain. Through her signature method, The Confidence Pathway, she addresses the root cause by treating the whole body, not just symptoms, helping women build strength, restore confidence, and return to exercise, daily activities, and the things they love without pain, leakage, or fear.
