If you've had a baby then you've probably had a discussion among close friends or family about urination problems, leaking, painful intercourse and bowel issues during and after pregnancies. This is common chat among many moms in my Little Lotus’ prenatal and postnatal yoga classes!

It is with this in mind that I am proud to bring the exclusive Kegels + Cocktails event to Ottawa on September 28th. Kegels + Cocktails is the perfect venue to bring these discussions out into the open and discuss them in an informative and welcoming environment!

After having three children in five years, I know first hand the pelvic floor problems that can arise and I am not afraid to share my experience with other women. It is through sharing my experience that I have helped spread the word across Ottawa and in my Little Lotus Yoga classes that urinary, bowel and pelvic floor issues are common among women. However, women need to know that they do not have to live their entire life like that or have a big surgery to fix it!

Kegels + Cocktails was developed by Kim Vopni from Pelvienne Wellness. I first met Kim and her business partners from Bellies Inc. a few years ago at a fitness conference and I have been taking their workshops and following them online as they spread the word across the world. I feel it is important to be a part of this and really help women.

K&C is all about women having fun, having a girls night out and learning important information that can really allow them to take control of their lives – so women aren’t hesitant to try a fitness class, jump rope with their kids or sneeze!

I am on a mission to educate and empower women to feel good about themselves and hope you will join me on September 28th from 7 to 10 pm at Café Cino Latte in Orleans to do just that! Come out and have fun with your girlfriends, learn from some of Ottawa’s top experts in Women’s Health, have a cocktail, have a chance to win prizes, and more!

Tickets are $35 and are limited, so buy your ticket now to avoid disappointment when it sells out!
