Prenatal and Postpartum Wellness

Are You Pregnant and Wanting to Feel more Supported Through Every Stage?

Pregnancy is a profound and beautiful transformation—body, mind, and spirit.
It’s a season of growth, anticipation, and deep connection. But amidst the joy, it can also be hard to find the time or space to truly care for yourself. We understand.

Many women experience pelvic floor changes during pregnancy—like pressure, leakage, or discomfort. These shifts are common, but that doesn’t mean they’re normal or something you have to live with. The good news? With gentle, holistic pelvic floor therapy, these issues can often be corrected with minimal effort—and early care can help prevent years of discomfort, incontinence, or pain down the road.

By supporting your pelvic health during pregnancy, we help you prepare for birth, recover more smoothly postpartum, and feel more at home in your body—now and into motherhood.

After the delivery…

35% of new moms experience stress urinary incontinence (leaking during coughing, sneezing, lifting, leaping, and so on) during the postpartum period.
Up to 60% of women experience diastasis recti (abdominal separation) by six weeks postpartum—and for many, it doesn’t heal on its own without support. (A diastasis rectus abdominis is a separation of the abdominal muscles from their central tendon that causes low back pain, stress urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.)
20% of first-time mothers suffer significant pelvic floor muscle injuries after a normal pregnancy/delivery.
25% of women who have pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain continue to have pain after giving delivery.

These problems are not limited to women who give birth vaginally. Pregnancy hormones can relax the body’s ligaments, putting the mom at risk for pelvic rotations even if she has a c-section. Scar tissue from the c-section may also restrict the capacity of the pelvic floor muscles to relax or contract, resulting in complete discomfort and incontinence. Empowered Wellness can thoroughly assess abdominal muscle function, overall posture, scar tissue mobility, and pelvic floor muscle function. When the underlying source of the problem is discovered, a customized treatment plan can be developed to address it, allowing you to resume living the life you want.

Whole-Body Support for a Joyful Pregnancy & Healing Postpartum

Pregnancy and postpartum are powerful seasons of change—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At Empowered Wellness, we believe you deserve more than just “getting through it.” You deserve to feel good in your body, stay connected to the things you love, and move into motherhood with confidence and care.

Pelvic floor therapy is about restoring balance—not just fixing problems. Whether you’re navigating pressure, leaking, pain, or just not feeling like yourself, we help you reconnect with your body in a way that feels gentle, empowering, and natural.

You don’t have to give up your favorite activities, intimacy, or fully showing up for your family because of symptoms that can be healed. With the right support, you can prepare your body for birth, experience a smoother recovery, and step into this next chapter feeling strong, supported, and whole.

Because your well-being matters—not just for your baby, but for you.

What People Say About Empowered Wellness

Dr. Stephanie and Dr. SC are extremely gifted in what they do! Not only are they a wealth of clinical knowledge, but they meet you with compassion and kindness as well. I came in for treatment after an unplanned C-section, and the care I have received has made me confident to step into my next pregnancy whenever that may be!

Stephanie is so well-educated and gentle. I am still using her breathing techniques and stretches years postpartum to keep my body strong. I’m so grateful for her expertise and will recommend her services for years to come!

I began going to Empowered Wellness in my 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy. I wanted to learn how to take care of my body and pelvic floor throughout pregnancy and especially postpartum. I have worked with the owner and founder, Dr. Stephanie Perea and also Dr. Sarah Catherine Vaughan. Both have been amazing to work with. It's clear they not only care for their patient's body but also their mental health and their overall wellbeing. I will definitely be recommending them to all of my female friends and family.

Dr. Sarah Catherine has helped me so much during my pregnancy with my pelvic girdle pain. She introduced dry needling and physical therapy exercises. I have felt some much tension relief!

I never knew I needed a pelvic floor therapist postpartum (would have started during pregnancy if I knew about them) until a friend recommended Empowered Wellness. Dr. Perez is amazing! Very personable and gives great individualized care to meet your needs. I have seen great progress in my postpartum recovery journey and will continue to have appointments with her now and through my future kids! I have learned so much from her on all the things that go into the pelvic floor and overall well-being postpartum. I would recommend Empowered Wellness to any women because you don’t know what you don’t know and you’d be amazed at what you could learn.
