    Manage Your Aches + Pains

    Pregnancy can bring on various aches and pains, but you don't have to just live with them. We address common issues like urinary incontinence, pubis symphysis dysfunction (lightning crotch), back pain, and pelvic pain.

    Connect with Your Changing Body

    As your baby grows, your body's center of gravity shifts, often leading to changes in posture. This section focuses on postural correction to help you alleviate discomfort and feel more connected with your amazing, changing body.

Begin Here

We’re here for you

  • "I can't sit/stand too long without aching."

    Persistent back or hip pain that makes essential daily tasks, like cooking or chasing a toddler, a constant struggle due to shifts in posture and stability.

  • "Rolling over in bed is excruciating."

    Sharp, shooting pain (aka "lightning crotch") in your pubic bone or hips that makes simple movements like getting dressed or walking feel unstable and difficult.

  • "I pee a little when I laugh or sneeze."

    Involuntary loss of urine that stops you from enjoying exercise, or the sudden, frequent need to rush to the bathroom that disrupts your sleep and flow.

  • "My core feels disconnected and weak."

    A gap or separation in your abdominal muscles that makes it hard to feel stable, get up from a chair, or support your growing bump and future movements.

  • "I dread going to the bathroom."

    Difficulty passing stools that requires straining, which often leads to painful hemorrhoids and a feeling of constant discomfort and pressure.

  • "A sudden movement gives me a sharp jolt."

    That quick, stabbing pain in your lower belly or groin when you roll over, cough, or stand up too fast, caused by the ligaments supporting the uterus stretching rapidly.

  • "I want to feel in control and minimize tearing."

    The desire to learn how to breathe effectively, practice optimal pushing positions, and prepare the tissues and muscles to set you up for a more confident and positive birth experience.

  • "My body just feels heavy and restricted."

    Overall discomfort, nerve pain, or muscle weakness that limits your ability to move joyfully, stay active, and feel present throughout your pregnancy.

  • Caitlin is worth every penny, and I’ve never been happier to work with someone who is kind, easy to talk to, professional and truly knows what she’s doing.

    — G.H.

  • I only pushed twice and gave birth in 15 minutes, which I attribute all to Caitlin's help!

  • Caitlin Oliveros is amazing. I originally saw her due to incontinence during my 3rd pregnancy. After just a few sessions she had solved that problem and despite getting many colds the rest of my pregnancy, it did not reoccur.

    — W.R.

  • When I first sought out support, I had been told by a doctor that my body probably wouldn’t be able to push a baby out. Caitlin’s ability to teach correct pushing techniques were instrumental in helping me achieve a successful VBAC.

    —M.K.

  • Caitlin guided me through not just the physical preparation needed for birth, but also helped me do some major mental and emotional work. She taught me how to understand and prepare for the intensity of labor and helped me build confidence in my body.
