In this episode of The WOVA Circle, I sit down with Dr. Chelsea Anjieski, a licensed physical therapist specializing in women’s pelvic health. Chelsea breaks down why pelvic floor care is essential before, during, and after pregnancy and how it supports your overall well-being beyond what most people realize.

This grounded conversation uncovers the common pelvic floor challenges many women face, from incontinence and pain to prolapse and sexual dysfunction. Chelsea explains how pregnancy and childbirth impact these vital muscles, why symptoms often go undiagnosed, and how early intervention can transform recovery and long-term health.
