BeachMama Wellness

A little bit about my journey and how I came across Rachel at BeachMama Wellness. Once I got pregnant, I treated myself to a yoga membership at SolSeek in Manhattan Beach (highly recommend!), the regular yoga and prenatal yoga classes are incredible. My prenatal yoga instructor recommended a pelvic floor therapist to see before and after pregnancy. I didn't know much about it so I started to research the benefits of pelvic floor therapy just in general but for pregnancy, it was HUGE. I wanted to do everything in my power to have a successful pregnancy, delivery and recovery. Guess what, I did! But I put in the work. Long story short, I booked a consult with Rachel and couldn't have been happier with my time with her. I learned SO much about prevention and recovery. I just ended my last session with her (for now) since I recovered postpartum fairly quick. I will be back if I have a second child or even if I need some support for my pelvic floor in the future. THANK YOU Rachel!!! You are wonderful and a wealth of knowledge. I was so sad to end my sessions, but I guess that is the goal! ;)

Rachel was a miracle worker! I had bad lower back pain for 6 months after my c section and traditional PT was not working. Even after 1 visit of pelvic floor therapy I felt significantly better and after only a few months of therapy was completely healed. Rachel has a wonderful personality and makes you feel very comfortable. The best!

My prenatal pelvic PT sessions with Rachel were incredibly helpful. Rachel helped me manage third trimester pains and discomfort while preparing my pelvic floor. Aside from being knowledgeable and helping me get attune with my body, Rachel is so compassionate and kind. It’s obvious she’s in this realm of work to help and empower mamas. Highly recommend Rachel and BeachMama!

Found Dr. Katie and BeachMama when our vet opened his new practice downstairs. I had been putting off PT, as recommended by my OB following an emergency c-section for a breeched baby. I had been looking for a PT place for a few weeks and saw BeachMama when we visited the vet and after some research, finally bit the bullet and scheduled my first session with Dr. Katie. SO glad I did as she has been so instrumental in my recovery. I had so much pain and discomfort from my surgery that I knew i needed PT but just couldn't justify the pricing for myself but Dr. Katie is worth every penny and feeling so much better has been worth it. She was even able to help me with my baby carrier and helped take care of baby during a session! I've apparently graduated but she can't get rid of me as I want to continue check-ins and will be back to see her for the next pregnancy!

I have been dealing with hip pain and have been seeing Dr. Nirja for 2 months now and I have already started to see improvements. I wasn't able to do HITT workouts and now I can ease back into it without any worries. I have also been seeing her for painful intercourse as I thought that was a normal thing and it's not! Dr. Nirja is very knowledgable in her craft and very educational as well. I have learned so much about my body from her and she has been such a great supporter and has given me so much guidance that I am so so very thankful. I highly recommend others see Dr. Nirja. She also makes the sessions super fun!
