Pelvic Floor Workshop : Everyone Needs a Vagina Coach
Saturday, May 9th, 2020, 2:00 - 3:30pm

What better way to celebrate women on Mother’s Day then learning about your “Pelvic Floor”!

The objective of this workshop is to have us come together and learn about Pelvic Health, and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy pelvic floor throughout our lifespan. This workshop is to empower and educate women of all ages about their lady parts and to accept our bodies and learn how to maintain a strong pelvic floor for proper bladder & bowel function and intimacy. Pelvic Floor Physical therapy should be standard care for every woman. “Kegels” otherwise known as “pelvic floor contractions” got a bad rap because these contractions were done incorrectly over the years. Kegels do work! Kegels work when they are done correctly, consistently, and coordinated with movement. This workshop will explain how to do so. The workshop will begin by explaining the female anatomy & pelvic floor and its function, followed by describing the role of a pelvic floor physiotherapist. It will cover some basic functions/dysfunctions and the important role with respect to physical activity.

I hope this workshop inspires you to optimize your pelvic health at any life stage!

Elisa Donato graduated as a physiotherapist from McGill University in 2009. She began working in private clinics in Orthopedics and in her area of specialty, pelvic floor rehabilitation. Elisa developed a particular interest for pelvic health and focused her career on working with clients of all ages with various pelvic floor dysfunctions. She was drawn to this physical therapy specialty because pelvic health is an area of significant need which was, and still is today, largely neglected in the medical field. Over the past 10 years, Elisa has been keen on promoting awareness and education on pelvic health within the community and the health care system. She has given numerous conferences on this matter and developed Pelvic Health Programs in various physiotherapy clinics. 

Elisa continues to be an advocate for pelvic health and has recently opened up her private practice, PelviCore Physio. She is also currently working alongside the Meraki Health Centre team where she works with various clienteles to evaluate and treat children and adults with pelvic floor related conditions. She is particularly interested in interdisciplinary work within the Meraki Gender Variance Program to address all physiotherapy related needs.

Elisa is a mother to two beautiful girls and enjoys spending quality time with her family. She loves traveling, playing music, cooking and keeping fit.
