Thank you!

Thank you for participating in the online Restore and Rebuild course, your comprehensive guide to post-op recovery from prolapse surgery. I created this handbook out of a passion for education and helping women become the best version of themselves. Having worked with many women recovering from prolapse surgery, I understand the nervousness that comes with navigating the early weeks of recovery.

As a token of appreciation for taking my course, I’m offering a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one coaching session at any point during your recovery to provide guidance and help you optimize your progress. Let’s get started!
