Pilates for Pelvic Floor Strength in Arlington, MA

Pelvic Floor Work Beyond Postnatal Recovery

Leaking when you cough or run, heaviness or pressure, pain, or a core that never quite feels stable — these can appear years after childbirth, or with no pregnancy at all. Perimenopause, high-impact sport, chronic coughing, and long periods of sitting all affect the pelvic floor.

How I Work

This work draws on the pelvic floor training I received as part of my Pilates and yoga therapy education. We start by understanding how you actually breathe and how your deep core responds, because the pelvic floor works as part of that system rather than in isolation. Sessions use mat work, props, and studio equipment, and you leave with a practice you can do at home.

What My Students Say

"A true magician of the pelvic floor (and of morale)!

After a hysterectomy, I found myself facing a well-known side effect that no one would wish for: urinary leaks. Between invasive options and tedious protocols, I chose to try another path: Pilates.

With Sophie, we first worked together in targeted private sessions, then she put together a tailored program for me to do at home: 15 to 20 minutes a day, 4 times a week, for 2 months.

The verdict? At my next visit, my gynecologist was simply stunned by the result (and I was relieved, in every sense of the word!).

Beyond this spectacular physical recovery, her support was invaluable on every level — psychological, spiritual, and physical. She knows how to restore confidence, listen without judgment, and make you work deeply, always with a smile and a great deal of kindness.

Thank you so much, Sophie. You can go with your eyes closed (but your pelvic floor fully engaged)!"
