Tending to Your Womb: Self-Care for Every Stage of Your Reproductive Journey, No Matter the Outcome - Anietie Ukpe-wallace

Descriere

Ukpe-Wallace, Anietie: - Dr. Anietie (Tia) Ukpe-Wallace, PT, DPT, is an orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist who specializes in providing a continuum of care and support from pregnancy loss to postpartum, while emphasizing the importance of self-care. Tia's life-long fascination with the human body and its inner workings ultimately led her to this path and a practice that has morphed from one of structure and ego to one framed by humility and independent thinking. Following her own formal introduction to movement in college, and eight years teaching yoga, Tia's own chronic struggles surrounding her pelvic floor and multiple miscarriages inspired her personal interest in a part of the body that is rarely talked about and often misunderstood. And it was the loss of her first child at 20 weeks of pregnancy that prompted her to offer holistically based pelvic care to a population that needs it, at the most vulnerable time in their life. Tia is a wife, mother to her 9-year-old daughter and a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Oakland, California, where she offers both telehealth and clinic-based physical therapy services through her practice, Self-Care Physio.
