Written By Aliya Dhalla

In Episode 97 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast, Aliya is back with another amazing guest. Today, Aliya chats with fellow Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Anita Lambert. They explore what conversations look like with their loved ones - as Pelvic Floor Physios! 

In this episode, you'll hear Anita and Aliya chat about:

  • Whether Anita wants her mother's pelvic floor...or not!

  • The conversations Anita and her mother had while she was growing up - about periods, sex, and changing bodies. 

  • How they navigate "taboo" conversations with their own kids, mothers, and patients.

  • Both of their experiences with heavy + painful periods.

  • How Anita got into the work as a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist. 

  • + much more!

Aliya mentioned a few other podcast episodes that you might find interesting - both this one and Anita's Podcast called To Birth + Beyond.

About Anita Lambert:

Anita Lambert is a perinatal pelvic health physiotherapist, the creator of the Bump to Birth Method, co-host of the To Birth & Beyond Podcast, and a mom of two. She owns Holistic Health Physiotherapy, where she supports clients through all stages of pregnancy, birth prep, and postpartum recovery—whether weeks or years after birth. Anita helps you feel more connected to your body—including your pelvic floor—so you can move through pregnancy more comfortably, prepare for birth with confidence, and recover in a way that actually feels supported (instead of figuring it out on your own). She’s worked with hundreds of clients in-person and online and has gone through two pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys herself—so she gets how much confusing info is out there. Anita’s all about giving practical, evidence-informed support that helps you stay active, reduce symptoms like leaking or pelvic pain, and feel confident navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—whether it’s your first baby or your third.
