Melissa Dessaulles is a pelvic health physical therapist and founder of Mommy Berries. Melissa is a mom of 2 who enjoys an active lifestyle. Through my own postpartum journey, she recognized the lack of support and guidance for new moms. Women everywhere are experiencing life-changing, sometimes embarrassing symptoms, that are not discussed. She has a passion to educate and advocate for proactive rather than reactive pelvic floor health care. She believes that by acknowledging the pelvic floor’s role in childbirth and providing client-centered rehabilitation, women can come out feeling empowered. You can find me in person at Wave Physiotherapy in Kelowna, Canada, and on social media @mommyberrieshealth.
