✨ **Supporting kids’ gut health from the inside out!** ✨

As a pediatric pelvic health OT, I talk A LOT about the connection between the gut, nervous system, pelvic floor, and toileting.💩🧠

For kids who struggle with constipation, stool withholding, picky eating, or irregular bowel habits, I always look at the whole child— including hydration, fiber, nutrition, sensory preferences, movement, toileting mechanics, and the gut-brain connection.

That’s why I’ve been recommending BEAM Kids All-in-One Powder as one option for families looking for an easy way to incorporate nutritional support into their child’s routine.

What I appreciate about an all-in-one approach is that it can make supporting nutrition feel a little less overwhelming — especially for kids who are selective eaters. 🙌

But here’s the important part:a supplement isn’t a substitute for individualized care. If your child is withholding, chronically constipated, having stool accidents, or struggling with toileting, there may be underlying pelvic floor, sensory, behavioral, or gastrointestinal factors that need to be addressed.

💡 Healthy toileting starts with looking beyond the toilet!

As a pediatric pelvic health OT, I love helping families connect the dots between nutrition + nervous system regulation + body awareness + pelvic floor function + toileting. If you’d like 1:1 support schedule a 15min virtual discovery call to see how I could help! 🔗link in bio.

☀️🌿 Sunshine + Gut Health? Yes, there’s a connection!

As a pediatric pelvic health OT, I’m always looking at the whole child—and that includes the gut, nervous system, immune system, and pelvic floor.

☀️ Spending time outdoors in the sun helps the body produce Vitamin D, which plays an important role in:
✨ Supporting a healthy, diverse gut microbiome
✨ Maintaining the intestinal barrier
✨ Regulating immune function
✨ Supporting the gut-skin connection (also known as the gut-skin axis)

And here’s the pediatric pelvic health connection: gut health matters! A healthy gut supports healthy bowel function, and bowel habits can directly impact toileting, constipation, stool withholding, and pelvic floor function.

So, when appropriate, encourage your little ones to get outside, move their bodies, enjoy some sunshine, and connect with nature. 🌱☀️

Of course, sun exposure should be age-appropriate and balanced with sun-safety practices. 💛 we love Pipette mineral sunscreen stick to keep kids safe in the sun!

Think beyond the toilet—the gut, brain, skin, immune system, and pelvic floor are all connected!

🤩I know that this Netflix documentary would be such a hit because I would have other experts who support children with bowel bladder dysfunction and toileting difficulties on the documentary talking about how we can help these kiddo who@simply cannot just “outgrow it”!

➡️If you have a kiddo struggling with bowel and bladder dysfunction or toileting difficulties, find a pediatric pelvic health therapist to see how they could help.

😍If you’d like one-on-one support from me, please sign up for a 15 minute virtual discovery call to see how to work together.🔗Link in bio!

➡️Many of the kids I see in my practice are selective or picky eaters, which can sometimes make it challenging for parents and caregivers to ensure they’re getting a variety of essential vitamins and minerals through food alone. 💛

That’s why families often ask me about supplements that can help support their child’s overall growth, well-being, and nutrition.

✨ Mama Bird’s Kids Liquid Multivitamin was recently named the 2026 Mindful Award Kids Vitamin of the Year! 🏆
And the best part? It comes in two kid-approved flavors: 🍓 Strawberry & 🌴 Tropical!
If you’re looking for a yummy, easy-to-take multivitamin option for your little one, check it out today!

As always, supplements are meant to complement a balanced diet—not replace it. Talk with your child’s healthcare provider about what’s appropriate for your child.

✨Just finished a webinar on the app Auggie called “Untangling stool withholding in kids”.

➡️ if your child withhold bowel movements avoids the toilet, or is caught in a painful cycle, withholding and leaking – this workshop will give you the understanding and tools to break that cycle still withholding isn’t defiance. It is a body brain and behavior issue and it’s 100% addressable.

Pelvic floor therapy just got a little more fun! 🎉 Before doing biofeedback, we turn “sticky bandages” into a game with Bioswiss® Bandages bandages before we use the real electrodes for biofeedback with sensory sensitive kiddos.

✨Kiddos get comfortable with the feeling, build confidence, and are ready to rock their biofeedback sessions. 💪✨

Tiny prep. Big confidence. 💙
