Pain, Pleasure, and Pelvic Power with Dr. Christine Pieton

Join Ailey Jolie and Dr. Christine Pieton, physical therapist, Pilates instructor, and founder of Pieton Physical Therapy, on this illuminating episode of In This Body. Together they explore the often overlooked world of pelvic health—how our relationship to this part of the body shapes everything from intimacy and emotional wellbeing to physical freedom and self-trust. Christine shares her unexpected path into pelvic floor therapy, weaving in insights about shame, trauma, nervous system regulation, and the importance of consent in healing spaces.The conversation touches on cultural silence, medical trauma, and how honouring the intelligence of the pelvic floor can open up new dimensions of embodiment.
