Client Experiences

“I thought that leaking was only because of kegels. Instead, Anniken treated my ribs, neck and upper back due to some alignment issues and I saw huge improvements immediately (I mean walking out of the clinic!).”

- new mum and athlete

“I had built up mistrust towards helping professionals and felt unsure about telling my story yet again. Anniken was warm, transparent, validating, and kind. I felt immediately comfortable with her, and knew that she was the right fit.”

- female student, 30, chronic pelvic pain

“Anniken is constantly trying new techniques with me, from releasing other muscles in my body that are connected to my pelvic floor, to helping me to connect emotionally with my pain.”

- female student, 30, chronic pelvic pain

“It was by far the most in depth exam I had ever had by a health care provider in my life.”

- Anon male, 52, chronic tailbone pain and sexual dysfunction

“….the first time I ever connected the way I felt emotionally with the way I felt in my body!”

- Anon male, 52, chronic tailbone pain and sexual dysfunction

“During the course of my treatment I have learned a lot about pain. What it is…and what it isn’t. I find that pain is a tricky sort of thing to understand sometimes. Thankfully Anniken is a pro when it comes to pain. Some of the things I have learned from her are truly amazing.”

- Anon male, 52, chronic tailbone pain and sexual dysfunction

“I left feeling empowered in my new understanding of contributing factors to post pregnancy incontinence and in my ability to take action to prevent this.”

- First time pregnancy, 30’s

“My recovery from my 2nd labour was much faster than my 1st, thanks to all the “prepping” work.”

- mum, pregnant with prolapse

“First session today and Devon listened well and is excellent at communicating the approach to resolving the pain. First stage plan was developed with home work, a great start.”

- Anon male, 57

“Devon spoke very clearly so I could understand as I am hard of hearing and explained things concisely. She was easy to talk to. I was impressed.”

- Female, 77

“I had a very positive and reassuring experience with Maria. She is knowledgeable and kind. I feel like this will be a collaborative effort to find the solutions I need. I feel heard. Thank you Maria!”

- Female, 58

“Maria put me at ease right away with her welcoming, calm personality for my initial visit. She explained everything very clearly and was very thorough in her assessment and explanation of the realistic plan for me. I especially appreciated how comforting she was when I became a bit emotional . I look forward to working with Maria to improve my symptoms.”

- Female, 51
