LIKELY NO ONE TOLD YOU THIS….

Becoming a mom is transormative, but recovery from childbirth is difficult + not just physically. No one prepares you for the combination of physical + emotional challenges of birth recovery. And let’s be honest….a six-week check-up just isn’t enough.

Struggling to balance being a new mom + feeling overwhelmed with fitting everything in

Baltimore mothers deserve to feel good postpartum.

At Rhythm + Ritual we believe in thriving,

not just surviving after childbirth.

Here’s how we help:

  • ELIMINATE LEAKING NATURALLY

    Your pelvic floor is like any other muscle in your body—it needs to be able to move over a range of motion. Most leaking is resolved after we work on your pelvic floor’s natural range of motion.

  • ENJOY INTIMACY AGAIN

    Experiencing pain is incredibly common postpartum. But with our holistic approach + innovative strategies, we can help reduce the pain symptoms + give you a wide variety of techniques to start enjoying intimacy again. No matter how long it’s been.

  • FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN

    Being a mom takes its toll physically + emotionally. We know that the answer isn’t to just give you a set of exercises + send you on your way. We work with you on strategies to move pain-free, feel less overwhelmed + more confident in your new role. And we do it in a way that fits into YOUR lifestyle.

A holistic approach to pelvic floor therapy in Baltimore, MD that relies on collaboration to build self-trust, empowerment + connection.

For every Mother feeling overwhelmed + under-supported….you're not alone.

The journey of motherhood is transformative, filled with moments of joy, challenges, + unexpected turns. Perhaps you've felt the weight of postpartum recovery, both physically + emotionally. Maybe you've whispered to yourself, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" or "Is this just my new normal?"

You deserve a guide, someone who understands not just the clinical side of things, but the raw, real emotions + challenges of becoming a mother. Someone who's been there.

MEET LEXY, YOUR PELVIC FLOOR THERAPIST IN BALTIMORE, MD

Lexy Martinez, your pelvic floor therapist in Baltimore, Maryland.

I know 100% how difficult navigating the postpartum world can be. Becoming a mom changes everything—your body, your mind, your relationships, and your priorities. It’s an incredible journey, but it can also feel isolating, overwhelming, and uncertain.

Even though I had the support of a stellar team during my pregnancies—midwives, a doula, a chiropractor, and my husband—and I did all the things to prepare (childbirth classes, prenatal yoga, reading all the books), I still found myself struggling to adjust postpartum.

After each birth, I experienced the same six-week check-up where I was given the “all clear” for sex and exercise, told to do my Kegels, and sent on my way. Nobody talked to me about the completely new normal I’d need to figure out.

Most days, I loved getting to know my new babies, but there were also days when I felt alone, stressed, and stretched too thin by the demands of caring for my growing family. Taking care of my own physical and emotional needs seemed impossible amidst the chaos. It only got harder with each new baby.

When I joined a breastfeeding circle after my first baby was born, I realized I wasn’t alone. Other moms shared stories that felt so familiar:

  • Pee leaks and other unexpected body changes

  • Sex that felt completely different (if it was happening at all)

  • Uncertainty about returning to exercise safely

  • Aches and pains from feeding, lifting, and carrying a baby

  • Hormonal changes that left them feeling unlike themselves

The recurring theme was “nobody told me”—and nobody knew who to ask for help.

As a healthcare professional, I knew there had to be more than just “do your Kegels” or “just give it time.” I became determined to bridge this gap for moms everywhere.

That’s why I made it my life’s mission to become a pelvic floor therapist who provides the kind of support, guidance, and holistic care I felt was missing. At Rhythm + Ritual Pelvic Health, I help moms move from surviving to thriving, addressing both the physical and emotional challenges of motherhood.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I invite you to book a free consultation below to see how I can support you.
