Working with Natalia has been such an amazing and healing experience! I started seeing Natalia in my third trimester of pregnancy, and in such a short time I saw major differences and learned so much about my body. Natalia made me feel seen, understood, and safe all throughout my PT journey. I am truly grateful to have worked with Natalia and highly recommend her!

Natalia and Peace Pelvic Health have been so helpful as I navigate my first pregnancy. Her pelvic floor birth prep class was exactly what I needed to feel confident about the labor/birth process so I can take care of my body before and after! I also had a couple of in-person sessions with her in physical therapy that helped me better understand my own body's most efficient positions and ways of pushing. Highly recommend even if you are on a second/third child and just want a better and more informed experience!

I started seeing Natalia three weeks postpartum with my first baby in October 2024—and she is truly a godsend. Before Birth: I did pelvic floor PT during pregnancy (not with Natalia—wish I had!) and felt strong and ready. I was running and lifting right up until delivery with zero issues. I thought recovery would be a breeze… it wasnt. Birth & Recovery: Labor was fast and intense. I ended up with forceps, a 3B tear, and postpartum incontinence. I was devastated—numb, scared, and even needed a catheter again. I texted Natalia from my hospital bed, crying. Working with Natalia: She responded immediately and came to my home. We started with breathwork at 3 weeks postpartum, then gradually rebuilt strength and connection. By 8 weeks, most incontinence was gone. At 12 weeks, I was jogging. At 14, running. By 16, I even made it through norovirus symptom-free (huge win!). If you're pregnant, postpartum, or just unsure—don’t wait. I’m planning to work with her before, during, and after my next pregnancy. Thank you, Natalia 🙏🏻

As a new mom of two I had been avoiding taking care of pelvic health issues because I felt embarrassed and did not think that, while taking care of an infant, I had the time to take care of myself. After working with Natalia, I realized that I was 100% wrong! Since this was my second C-section, I was expecting the same miserable symptoms that I experienced after giving birth to baby number one. A couple of uncomfortable months after the delivery I finally decided that I would take a chance and made an appointment with Natalia. Natalia made me feel extremely comfortable and helped me understand how my delivery experiences affected my body and pelvic floor postpartum. Best of all she let me know that I was not suffering alone and that there was hope for me to feel better in my body again. With her educational recommendations, I was able to see a big difference quickly. My symptoms improved after I made some practical changes and was more mindful of what my body was telling me. It was also wonderful to be able to bring my baby with me to enjoy her clean family friendly space.

Working with Natalia has been a wonderful experience! I wanted to get some one-on-one time to become more knowledgeable about delivery and to work through some pain I've had during pregnancy. She has been a wealth of knowledge and has shared it in very easy to understand and implement into my day to day life. She was very resourceful during the in-home sessions we had by making use of what I already had to teach me exercises, help with posture at my desk, etc. She is extremely professional, warm, and easy to work with and has great communication skills!

Natalia is amazing: I have used her services during our prenatal period and feel -as ready as you will ever feel- to go through labor. I fully plan on continuing to work with Natalia after baby is born as well. The convenience of having the option for in-home care is much appreciated.

I cant say enough of great things about Natalia! I came to one of her pregnancy workshops as a second time mom and still learned so much! I learned so much from the 2 hour event I wanted to continue to see her individually. I seen her once a week during the final weeks of my pregnancy and she walked me through even more that I feel so much more prepared for this broth Vs my first. Natalia makes you feel so comfortable as well that you can talk to her/pick her brain really about anything.

I took Natalia’s Birth Prep and Pelvic Floor Workshop in October. One of the things she said during the workshop, “you need a flexible pelvic floor and not strong rigid one” really resonated with me. From practicing what was taught in the workshop I can clearly see the difference now. The amount details that she goes through is impeccable. She never rushes through the topics. Everyone talks about pushing, never tell you how. She teaches you how to push in simple lay man terms. At the end of workshop my anxiety was at ease, I knew what to expect and how to prepare for birth. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for all the tips, Natalia!

Natalia is truly the absolute best!! She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything she is doing and why. She makes you feel extremely comfortable and all sessions are from your own home. I was referred to Natalia from a friend to help with some pelvic floor issues postpartum in order to get myself ready to get back to running. Halfway through my treatment plan, I am already feeling so much better! I am so grateful to work with Natalia! 10/10 recommend! You will not regret it!!!
