Save the Date: A Perimenopause Pelvic Floor Workshop with Rutvi Terpstra

If you’ve read the other posts in our perimenopause series, you already know that pelvic floor changes are one of the most common, and most under-discussed, parts of this life stage. So we’re excited to share something that moves from “read about it” to “ask a real expert your actual questions.”

The Details

• Date: October 1
• Time: To be announced
• Location: Pleasure Island

Mark the date now, we’ll follow up with the exact time and any registration details as they’re confirmed.

What You’ll Learn

This session is built specifically around the questions we hear most often from people navigating perimenopause, including:

• Bladder & bowel changes — why urgency, leaking, or new bowel habits show up in your 40s and 50s, and what’s actually going on
• Pelvic pressure & prolapse — how to recognize it, when to be concerned, and what your options are
• Core, movement & exercise — how to train safely and effectively without fear of “making things worse”
• Intimacy & pelvic comfort — addressing changes that often go unspoken, in a judgment-free setting
• Practical strategies that help — real, actionable tools you can start using right away

Why This Workshop Matters

A lot of what we’ve covered in this blog series — the hormonal changes behind pelvic floor symptoms, the connection between breathing and pelvic floor function — can feel abstract without a chance to ask “okay, but what about my situation?” That’s exactly the gap this workshop is designed to fill. Rutvi Terpstra brings hands-on clinical experience treating pelvic floor dysfunction, and this session is a chance to get direct, expert answers in a supportive group setting with other people going through the same transition.

Whether you’re dealing with symptoms already or simply want to understand what to expect before they start, this workshop is designed to leave you with practical strategies you can use immediately, not just information to file away.
