Meet Janet Eich - Your Pelvic Health Therapist Serving MidCoast Maine
Have you ever felt unsure about what “normal” really is? Are you hesitant to ask? Or maybe you have looked for answers but didn’t get the help you needed? Concerns about pelvic floor functions—like urinary leakage, bowel issues like constipation or urgency, and painful intimacy—can be difficult to discuss. Finding accurate information can also be challenging, as pelvic health is a specialized area that many providers receive limited training in. Unfortunately, some may tell you that these issues are “normal” and “to just live with it” because you had a baby or accept that you are getting older. That’s not true.
Pelvic floor issues often involve multiple layers, and each require addressing, in order to achieve true recovery. If these issues are affecting your ability to exercise, enjoy intimacy, or even go out for lunch with friends, please know that relief is possible. You deserve comprehensive, compassionate care that helps you regain your life without limits.
A Little About Me
My own story isn’t particularly dramatic or noteworthy—nor do I want to come across as dismissive. I’ve had 4 children and also experienced pelvic floor issues related to perimenopause, and I wish I had had better care and support during those times. I faced pain and which strained both my mental health and my relationship with my husband. At times I struggled with urinary leakage, especially during certain exercises, despite my strength. I continue to use the strategies I teach to maintain my own health and function.
You are not alone in facing these challenges. Together, we will explore your individual concerns and goals, providing the guidance and support you need to move forward.
I invite you to book a free consultation below.
