We've been honored to guest on many podcasts over the years!

"What if your pelvic floor symptoms were your body’s way of asking you to slow down and listen?

In this episode, Dr. Melissa chats with Physical Therapist Christina Walsh, a pelvic floor expert and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, about how healing the pelvic floor goes far beyond kegels.

Christina shares her deeply personal journey, why so many women are still struggling in silence, and how pelvic health is connected to everything from your nervous system to your creativity.

This is a heart-opening conversation filled with hope, real talk, and simple tools that will leave you feeling empowered in your body."

"Honestly, if you've given birth (either vaginally or via c-section), this is for you!

"We'd be lying if we didn't admit we've giggled over our guest’s business name.

It's actually downright brilliant. Equal parts funny and straight to the point.

Jenn Lormand is bringing some fire today mixed with humor, hope, and healing.

She's a published researcher, exercise physiologist, and author.  AND she's been living and thriving with Stage 2 prolapse for the last ten years. 

After being told an invasive surgery was her only hope following her third birth, Jenn was determined to create her own solution. Together with her Tighten Your Tinkler cofounder (Christina Walsh, PT), Jenn developed a new movement-based protocol that allowed her to reverse her pelvic floor symptoms.

The Tinkler mission is to inspire hope and healing – helping women to heal holistically so they can show up fully present for their lives through at-home programs that are non-invasive and kegel-free."

"Did you know that peeing more than 10x per day can be a symptom of pelvic floor dysfunction?

My guest today is Jenn Lormand of Tighten Your Tinkler. We get into all the nitty gritty details on how to heal and maintain a healthy and pain-free, leak-free pelvic floor right from home."

"Christina shares her evolution from treating orthopedic injuries to becoming a specialist in women’s pelvic floor health, a passion ignited by her own post-childbirth challenges.

She sheds light on common pelvic floor issues like leaks, frequent urination, back pain, and prolapse.

Christina breaks down the myths surrounding Kegels, explaining how functional strength training is a far more effective and sustainable approach to healing, and she also shares practical, everyday tips to alleviate strain and promote pelvic health.

We also discuss the emotional and physical toll these issues can take, the risks of ignoring early symptoms, and the importance of listening to your body.

Many women fear the cost of treatment and therefore avoid it, not realizing the steep price they’re already paying to manage their symptoms – both financially and in the impact the pelvic floor has on the rest of the body. 

 This episode is packed with valuable insights, actionable advice, and resources to help you reclaim your confidence and comfort. Don’t miss it!"

"Christina Walsh, co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, shares crucial insights for postpartum moms.

As a new mom, I can relate to these struggles firsthand, and this episode is packed with helpful tips for anyone navigating the postpartum journey. "

"From debunking myths to making pelvic floor health fun, Christina brought the wisdom to this episode!

"What do you think when I say “Pelvic floor”? Wonder, confusion, empowered, or maybe you cringe a bit?

What I find is that there are a lot of women struggling with things like leaking urine, unenjoyable romantic experiences with their spouse, or just feeling off, but they don’t know where to go, what’s normal, and how to even help.

In this episode we talk all about the different types of prolapse, problems it can cause, pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms, and the emotional, spiritual and physical side of PFD - and some things you can do to help!"

"Do you pee when you sneeze?  Experience back pain, frequent UTIs, or have to get up in the middle of the night to pee?  Think you have a small bladder?

Whether you experience one or all of these, they are all related to your pelvic floor health.

Some research shows that every year after the age of 35, women lose 2% of their pelvic floor muscle strength with aging and hormones.  If at 35, we’re leaking, what will it be like at 65?

The Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy featured their research, confirming the effectiveness of their protocol at ending pee leaks, back pain, and painful sex – WITHOUT kegels or trendy internal vaginal devices."

"I have a guest wisdom holder who is bringing a unique view of the pelvic floor and how the practice of grounding can be a powerful tool for pelvic floor function.

My guest here is Jenn Lormand of the duo that is Tighten Your Tinkler, two women who are authors, researchers, and moms on a mission to help people live with functional pelvic floor health, whether that's after having children or any other reason a person is living with an under-functioning pelvic floor.

This conversation, as you will hear me say a few times in the recording, really sparked some interesting connections for me about the pelvic floor and the earth and our feet as she brings together the pelvis and grounding."

"Pelvic floor issues post-pregnancy and birth are all too common. 

Whether it's related to more sedentary lifestyles, assisted births, or epigenetics is not known, but it does not have to be accepted.  Jenn Lormand EP and Christina Walsh PT are all about stopping the acceptance that a little leaking is normal, and empowering women to take control of their own bodies.

On this episode, Jenn has SO MUCH for you, dear listener."

"Sometimes after baby your “O” can stand for ouch!  Yes, today we’re talking about sex after baby.  For many, pelvic floor dysfunction turns what was once a pleasurable part of life into something painful.

🔸 what new parents should expect when it comes to sex after baby

"Are you suffering? Maybe in silence? Any kind of pelvic floor dysfunction can feel lonely or even shameful, especially if it is also affecting your intimacy.

This week on the Wholly a Woman podcast, I interview Christina Walsh, Physical Therapist and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler (@tighten.your.tinkler). 

Christina tells us things like what is normal and what is not when it comes to the pelvic floor, different causes for pain, and what you can do to alleviate and prevent pain.  And guess what, the answer is NOT kegels.  

This is a message of HOPE!  If there is a cause for your discomfort, then there is also a solution.  Tune in to this conversation and I know you will learn something!" 

"Do you have friends who will have wildly uncomfortable conversations with you?⁠
⁠
If not, I have good news. My guests today, Jenn Lormand and Christina Walsh, otherwise known as the Tighten Your Tinkler girls are here to help us understand our nether regions. ⁠

They are the friends you want when you’re trying to figure out if peeing while sneezing or coughing is normal (PS no, it’s common but not normal) or how to pull an all-nighter. ⁠
⁠
And by "all-nighter" I mean go all night without using the restroom."

"What do we need to know about supporting and healing the pelvic floor?  Is it super complex?

This week, we’re speaking with Christina, one of the creators and trainers of Tighten Your Tinkler. Christina and her business partner Jenn are a Physical Therapist and Exercise Physiologist duo who are dedicated to helping mothers heal their pelvic floors in a way that keeps physiology in mind.

The name is funny, but the results are serious!  I’ve personally been through their program and I’m currently incorporating their exercises into my daily life, and I absolutely love what they’re doing."

"Having a weak pelvic floor may be affecting your life, your marriage, and your ability to feel comfortable and confident in your body.  Here are some of the topics we explore today:

*How you can feel broken when things “down there” aren’t functioning like they should (or aren’t reliable!)

*How hip pain, back pain, neck pain, bunions and posture issues can all connect with a weak pelvic floor!

*We define prolapse–a condition that affects many women and comes in numbered stages.

*Jenn assures Heather that peeing when you cough, sneeze, or while exercising isn’t a normal and necessary part of aging–and that there is a way to stop it without surgery!"

"Get ready for the most laughs you have ever encountered in a conversation about pelvic floor health.

Plus, did you know your back and hip pain may be due to your pelvic floor?

Many women experience tightness and discomfort in their back, groin, and hips after childbirth. Seeking help, they turn to their doctor - only to be told it is a mild case of some orthopedic issue or that their x-rays look good. But then their pelvic floor and core continue to get weaker, and pain prevents these women from exercising, enjoying intimacy, and living their fullest life. And, even though you may be in your 40s, 50s or beyond, you may still be experiencing the side effects from this.

Nothing is off limits in this conversation!"

"They help moms jump for joy without peeing your pants!  LOL  They have been helping moms heal and feel better in their bodies again for a combined 36 years of experience.  The ladies who work with them call them “The Dream Team.”  They really focus on helping women, giving them the tools and guidance so they can feel themselves again. "

"Yes, we’re going there. It’s all about bladder control, painful intercourse and a “droopy bootie” in this week’s podcast. If you have any pelvic problems AT ALL - including constant tightness in your hips and back - you’ll want to take a listen. There’s a non-invasive solution that can get your lady business back to normal. I love when we can find more holistic approaches to health that don’t involve extremes! My guest experts are going to tell you all about it and it doesn’t involve kegels (which they don’t recommend)."

"In this episode, we are thrilled to be joined by the two founders of Tighten your Tinkler, Jenn Lormand (Exercise Physiologist) and Christina Walsh (Physical Therapist). 

Tune in for an interview with Dr. Alex where they will explain how most pelvic problems can be overcome by strengthening the muscles in the area to work as a cohesive team.  You will also learn how supporting pelvic floor health will be life-changing!"

"Aging and motherhood are beautiful in their own right. But sometimes things in your "nether-regions" are not like they used to be, especially after having kids. Joining me today is Exercise Physiologist, Jenn Lormand, as we explore breakthroughs in women's health and pelvic floor function. Gone are the antiquated days of endless kegels, and hello to holistic and research-based solutions to restore bladder and pelvic dysfunction and reignite intimacy and dignity."

"Today on the show we talk to Jenn and Christina from Tighten Your Tinkler.

These Mom Entrepreneurs are here to talk about how the women's healthcare system is failing us. They have a proven solution (I personally am living proof) for back and hip pain, weak core issues, along with prolapse, urgency, and pain with intimacy.

We also talk about their lessons learned and get their advice on business partnerships, being a serial entrepreneur, and best practices for how to "balance" it all."

"Over 52 million women deal with an embarrassing issue: PEE leaks… when we sneeze, when we laugh, when we exercise.  There is no shame in this because it is SO COMMON. But we aren’t talking about the FIX for this enough! You do not always need to turn to medications, surgery or KEGELS.

Today on listen up I interview Pelvic Floor Experts Jenn and Christina on what causes this, how to prevent and reverse it, and why they are “anti Kegel”

Learn what you can do other than Kegels to help with this issue, where the idea came from, & why so many women suffer from this."
