A Message From Amber Anderson, Owner and Clinical Director, of Restoration Health Collective​

 ❓Are you concerned your labor and birth story will end up like your friend who had a terrible birth experience?
❓Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can can get the birth of your dreams AND have an enjoyable pregnancy?
❓Are you worried about embarrassing bladder and bowel problems that don’t go away no matter how many kegels you’ve tried? 
❓Are you frustrated that all your stretches and exercises for pregnancy related problems haven’t worked? 
❓Are you having trouble keeping up with work tasks, home responsibilities, and taking care of your pregnant body due to all the pain and discomfort you currently have?


If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place! 

Many people in Baton Rouge suffer needlessly with pregnancy related problems because they’re told…

⚠️ Just “wait until the baby is born” and it’ll get better (then months later they’re still suffering…)
⚠️ It’s “normal” to deal with pelvic floor and core problems related to pee, poop, penetration, or pelvic/back pain when you’re pregnant or postpartum.
⚠️ If you do some kegels everything will be fine.
⚠️ Surgical, medications, or “learning to live with it” are the only options. 

The truth is:

✅ “Waiting” it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small spontanous improvements, but then when you start living life like normal you’ll still be suffering from problems related to pee, poop, sex, pelvic heaviness, or pain. (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)
✅ It’s not normal to have pelvic floor and core problems while pregnant, after birth, or during the postpartum period! 
✅ Kegels don’t fix the problem and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.
✅ Surgical birth, medications, or “learning to live with it” are not the only options. It’s just the only options your medical provider can offer you.


“At Restoration Health Collective, we specialize in helping birthing people in Baton Rouge have a healthy, active pregnancy, achieve the birth of their dreams, and get their body back after baby."


It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have problems with pee, poop, penetration, heaviness, or pelvic pain during pregnancy. You’ve likely heard a lot of options such as…

❓ A family member tells you to “deal” with it because all of your aunts have the same problem.
❓ A colleague mentions going to a personal trainer to “tighten things up” and “work on your core.”
❓ The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise.
❓ A friend suggests using a supplement, oil, or cream.
❓ All while the doctor tells you to do kegels until it gets better.

It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…what will happen if you don’t make the right one? 

​Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, or the rest of their pregnancy without taking action. Or even worse, they feel like getting the birth of their dreams is out of their reach!


When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Pregnancy Related Problems and Optimizing Birth…


You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting a surgical birth (when it might be unnecessary), being dependent on questionable medication for the rest of your life, or sacrificing the birth you deserve.  Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your pregnancy related problems, getting the best chance at an awesome birth, and making sure your problems don’t come back during the postpartum period. 
 
To do that, you have to, not just treat the problem, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the problem happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems. 


At Restoration Health Collective we’ve created a process to get rid of your pregnancy related problems, making sure they don’t come back again, and optimizing every aspect of your labor and birth.


Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story


Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 6 minutes before they have to run to the next patient, and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
 
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually treat the problem causing area. They will stick you on an exercise bike, place you on some machine in a room alone, or leave you with a high-school aged helper for the majority of your session.


This is why our first step is to listen to your story.


After working with lots of people who want to optimize their pregnancy and birth, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of symptoms. 
 
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and ample time for you to tell your story. That way, we get a deep understanding of what’s going on, not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life. 
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Pregnancy Related Pain and Birth Troubles Started


Many people have a diagnosis, a medical term for what’s going on with their body or why their first birth didn’t go as planned. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you figured it out for yourself online. You could have been told that your only choice was to “deal with it”, do kegels, take medications, or be assured another surgical birth. 
 
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place and they are bound to happen again. 
 
Every person’s cause of pregnancy related and birth problems are different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person. What worked for one person might not work for another person!
 
Our goal at Restoration Health Collective is to find the original cause of your problem, so not only does your pregnancy related and birth issues go away, but it also STAYS AWAY and puts you in a position of POWER! 
 
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we perform a thorough evaluation session. (Yes! In this encounter, we get all the information needed to come up with a PERSONALIZED plan for your specific needs.)
 
Our Initial Evaluations are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Initial Evaluation you’ll find out what’s wrong, how did it start, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally! 

​Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Problem & Keep It From Coming Back

​
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
… Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy so you can sleep all night and parent without pain
… Go on a babymoon without having to pee every 30 minutes
… Exercise without feeling like your organs are falling out or leaking
… Get off of laxatives and be able to poop whenever you want
… Figure out what happened during your last birth
… Stack the deck in your favor to get the birth of your dreams
… Restore your core after birth and get rid of your “mummy tummy.”
… Get your body back to enjoy the lifestyle you miss! 
 
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to enjoy their pregnancy, rock their birth, and win their body back postpartum. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
 
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in? 
You don’t have to live like a prisoner in your own body or be scared of your birth over problems that can be fixed. You can live the life you love without letting your body or fear control you!

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About RHC…

Lauren got comprehensive birth prep she so desperately wanted and went into her birth feeling confident & empowered. 

"I had felt that something was missing from my prenatal care and was feeling pretty unprepared for actual labor and delivery. Even though I was seeing CNMs through my pregnancy whom I liked and respected, they never touched on the physical things I could be doing to prepare my pelvic floor for the challenges of childbirth. Thanks to the staff at RHC and their birth prep program, I had my resources and knowledge to pull from during labor. I was also better prepared to advocate for myself when necessary in the hospital, to ask for the things I needed, and to make informed decisions. ​"

Melissa got rid of her pelvic, hip, and back pain, learned about her body, and found hope for the future. 
​​

"I came to see a therapist at RHC for intense pelvic, hip, and back pain after giving birth to my first child. I waited several months after giving birth to make an appointment because I thought this pain was just a normal, permanent consequence of childbirth and I was afraid that they would tell me I was right, that I was broken forever. The therapist did an excellent job explaining what is going on internally while assuring me that I was not in fact broken, and making me feel safe and comfortable. RHC has changed my life, I finished my treatment with more knowledge about my body, tools I can implement at my own will, and hope for the future.
