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.

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.

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

I know 100% how difficult navigating the postpartum world can be.

All three times I was pregnant, I felt supported by my team—the midwives, doula, chiropractor, my husband. I attended childbirth classes, went to prenatal yoga + read all the books.

My births were successful in my eyes. My babies were healthy and I had birthed the way I wanted to, with no injuries to speak of. I felt strong + empowered because of all that my body was able to do.

I went for my six-week check-up + was given the “all clear” to return to sex + exercise. I was told to do my Kegels (sound familiar?) + to give things time to get back to “normal”. I was sent on my way. Nobody told me that there a totally new normal to figure out.

Most days I relished getting to know my new babies. But there were days that I felt alone, stressed out with the demands of caring for my growing family + my home, not to mention taking care of my own physical + emotional needs, which seemed to fall by the wayside. I had to work really hard to stay on top of all the things. And it got harder with the birth of each child.

I quickly discovered I wasn’t alone. Many moms felt this way.

After my first child was born, I attended a weekly breastfeeding circle to connect with other new moms. And the same things kept coming up. Pee leaks. Sex that felt totally different than before (if it was happening at all). Wanting to exercise, but feeling unsure if or when it was safe. All the aches + pains of feeding/lifting/carrying a baby. Hormone changes that were probably just from breastfeeding, but maybe there was something else going on….

The overall vibe was “nobody told me”. And nobody knew who they could go to for support.

But being in the healthcare field myself, I knew instinctively that it wasn’t just about Kegels + giving it time—that it didn’t all come naturally. There had to be better support for mothers. There had to be a way to not just survive postpartum, but to thrive.

I made it my life’s mission to become a pelvic floor therapist who could provide the type of support, guidance + holistic lens I felt was missing for mothers.

And so Rhythm + Ritual Pelvic Health was born. You don’t have to navigate the physical + emotional impacts of motherhood alone.

I invite you to book a free consultation below.
