A Pelvic Floor Coach’s Journey with IVF Success at 40

0018. What happens when a women's health expert becomes the patient? In this episode, we sit down with Johanna, a Pelvic Floor and Lactation Coach from Charlotte, North Carolina, who shares her raw and inspiring journey to motherhood. After years of trying and navigating the heartbreak of loss, Johanna turned to IVF at age 39. She pulls back the curtain on her "amazing" egg retrieval process and how she successfully transitioned into what she describes as an easy, vibrant pregnancy at 40.

Because of her professional background, Johanna offers a unique perspective on how to support the body through the rigors of fertility treatments and pregnancy over 40. We dive into the intersection of clinical protocols and holistic wellness, the importance of being close to community and family during the wait, and her expert tips for maintaining pelvic health during a later-in-life pregnancy. Whether you are currently in the thick of IVF over 40 or want to hear from a pro on how to have a smooth, healthy pregnancy, Johanna’s story is a wealth of knowledge and hope.
