They’re about healing, reconnecting, and slowly rebuilding your body’s capacity. In this episode, Dr. Kayla walks through a month-by-month postpartum recovery timeline, from rest and restoration in month one, to reconnection and rebuilding in month two, to intentional strength and return-to-running progressions in month three. She also explains why the six-week “clearance” isn’t a green light to return to everything, and when every mom should see a pelvic floor PT.Links & Resources:Read the related Holistically Well Blog Postwww.drkaylaborchers.com@drkaylaborchers on Instagram

She explains how she and her husband made the decision, including the extra testing that confirmed Eloise was a good candidate for vaginal breech birth, and why consistent pelvic floor prep let her deliver with zero tearing. Whether your baby is breech or you’re simply preparing for birth, this conversation is a reminder that you have options, that preparation matters, and that surrender is part of the process.Links & Resources: www.drkaylaborchers.com@drkaylaborchers on Instagram

In this episode, Dr. Kayla explains where each practice comes from, how a dry needling session differs from acupuncture, and how she uses dry needling in her women’s health practice for pelvic floor tension, diastasis recti, C-section scars, and more. She also explains why any needling treatment works best as one part of a larger plan that includes movement, strength, and lifestyle changes.Links & Resources:Read the related Holistically Well Blog Postwww.drkaylaborchers.com@drkaylaborchers on Instagram

In this solo episode, Dr. Kayla explains what pain actually is from a nervous system perspective, how to tell “good” pain (muscle fatigue, soreness, a deep stretch, labor contractions) from pain that needs attention, and shares a simple green-yellow-red traffic light system you can use for yourself, your kids, or your athletes. She also challenges the idea that pain is “just normal” in pregnancy and postpartum, and explains why addressing it early keeps you out of a chronic pain loop.Use code POD20 for 20% off all courses:Holistically Well Preconception CourseHolistically Well Pregnancy ProgramHolistically Well Third Trimester Birth PrepHolistically Well Postpartum ProgramLinks & Resources:Read the related Holistically Well Blog Postwww.drkaylaborchers.com@drkaylaborchers on Instagram
