About the Guests

Are you a patient who has received pelvic health care and is interested in contributing to the development of trauma informed treatment guidelines?

Researchers at the University of Calgary (led by Dr. Lauren Walker, RPsych), have been developing trauma informed care guidelines for pelvic health care with a group of multi-disciplinary health care professionals and patients who have experienced trauma histories and accessed pelvic health care. We are now seeking feedback on a proposed draft of the guidelines. The guidelines are meant to inform providers from a variety of backgrounds including gynecology, urology, oncology, family medicine, sexual health, pelvic floor physio and midwifery.

We are currently seeking feedback on these guidelines from patients who have received pelvic health care in the past 5 years, who also have a history of experiencing medical or sexual trauma. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes and is best completed on a computer. The survey is approved by the Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board. Thank you for considering participating.

Bios of my Guests
Jessica Ekberg of the The Pelvic Connection
IG @jessekbergpelvicfloor
Facebook: The Pelvic Connection

She has been an OT for 23 years, and have worked in almost every setting all over the country. She discovered Pelvic floor therapy through her own issues specifically after her daughter was born trying to get back to running and started getting plantar fasciitis, knee and low back pain. Ironically enough, she has been peeing her pants since She was in her20’s. She is now a proud former pants pee’er! However once she started my deep dive, she fell in love with PFT, it made changes in me that she had not expected and the best part is that it is a whole body approach. She admits the field can be difficult to feel confident in a times but it’s just such a perfect fit for OT. She now has my own business which allows her to take a little more time to evaluate patients. She constantly learning and adapting her evaluations/sessions to meet the needs of her clients.

SHOW NOTES
I was joined by Emily Lieberman for this episode. We talked about:

1) What advice would you have for other students who have identified this interest and may be considering pursuing a pelvic health position directly after graduation?

Emily talks about being a generalist vs specialist and that there was not not one right path to get there. We are not in an escape room - we are growing a garden.

2) I love that you shared that you went straight into Pelvic Health --did this require you to step outside your comfort zone? If so, how?

3) Based on your experience, do you have any "lessons learned" that you would want to share with other OTs who are preparing to apply for positions in pelvic health for the first time, and perhaps any tips specifically for new grads?

A little more about Emily Lieberman:

Emily is a native Michigander, mom of two, and lover of chocolate chip cookies. Her favorite meal is brunch, her favorite word is “whimsical” and her favorite leisure occupations are thrift shopping and losing track of time in nature. Emily came to OT as a second career and has a previous master’s degree in Educational Leadership; her prior work focused on adult education, coaching and organizational development in community and higher education settings. She became interested in pelvic health through her own experiences as a client, and she is particularly motivated to extend trauma-informed care to those who have had difficult experiences in healthcare as well as folks who are trans and nonbinary. Emily graduated in August 2023 and accepted a full-time position in outpatient pelvic health as her first role as a practicing OT.
