Let me present Anna to you all
If you are wondering “What’s the pelvic floor?” this series is for you. If, instead, you think this is not news, let me tell you that despite the fact that pelvic floor and kegel exercises have been quite a trend in the past 5 years, it is not easy to find reliable information about it.
I'm extremely proud and grateful to say that I’ve created “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” series together with a wonderful midwife with over 30-year experience, who specializes in rehabilitation of the pelvic floor: Rita Anna di Molfetta.
Why did we decide to create “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” Series?
Do you know what and where is your pelvic floor? Are you able to feel it? Do you know it is strictly related to most of the diseases and discomfort of your intimate parts? 6 out of 10 womxn don’t know what the pelvic floor is or what its function is.
As almost everything related to womxn’s intimate parts, we know very little about it, no specific education is given to us and we are definitely not encouraged to discover them on our own.
Empowering womxn works through giving them access to education; but when it comes to our sexual or intimate health we are left alone most of the time.
At pureeros we want to fill this gap (among many others) and that’s the reason why we have decided to create “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” series.
Your pelvic floor plays a key role not only during pregnancy or delivery (which is when we usually discover we have a pelvic floor) but it is related to dispareunia (painful intercourse) and to experiencing pain on your vulva or intimate parts. It is also linked to vaginal infections, incontinence, prolapse and to your ability to experience pleasure.
We want you to discover why that is and what you can do to reconnect with and feel your pelvic floor.

Which topics are we going to cover in “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” Series?
All the above mentioned symptoms or conditions - of course - but that’s not all. We have created 10 episodes to explore the pelvic floor from the very basics.
Anna will explain what and where is the pelvic floor, how does it work and why we should care about it.
We’ll go in depth about how an altered tone of your pelvic floor results in several dysfunctions such as pain, recurrent vaginal infections, incontinence and damages after giving birth.
We don’t want to be boring nor to scare you, so Anna will also give you super useful tips on how to change your everyday habits, to feel and take care of your pelvic floor as well as instructions on how you can solve most of the pelvic floor dysfunctions.
She will also explain the difference between kegel exercises and pelvic floor’s rehabilitation and why the first are a great tool but can’t solve it all.
Then, since it is not easy to find people really qualified to take care of a pelvic floor, Anna will give you some instructions on what you have to check and which are the must-have steps in order to get a pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Last but not least, we have dedicated some special episodes to:
- period
- pregnancy&delivery
- menopause
- pleasure and the pelvic floor

Who should follow “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” Series?
Everybody! Did you know even men have a pelvic floor? However, we have decided to focus more on people with a vulva, since the pelvic floor has a more significant impact into womxn’s lives. No matter if you are 20 yo or happily over 75, this Series is meaningful to each single one of you.
There are many young womxn with a dysfunctional pelvic floor suffering maybe from painful periods or light incontinence, as well as many more “agées” womxn who need to take care of their pelvic floor’s tone.
But even if you are perfectly fine, it’s important to learn something new about your body that might be useful for you later on in your life.
Let me present Anna to you all
Anna has been a nurse since 1987 (I wasn't even born back then!) and a midwife since 1992; after an extensive experience in different hospitals and counseling centers for women, she has decided to open her own practice in Turin (Italy) where she also receives several international clients.
She is specialised in the rehabilitation of the pelvic floor and has been working on this topic for the past 30 years. Beside being an amazing professional, Anna is also a mum of two teenagers and a wonderful cat named Mirtillo (Blueberry).
Anna teaches classes on everything about pelvic floor and also constantly attends training courses with the best international experts in women’s intimate health. If perhaps you speak Italian, you can follow her on IG.
I look forward to starting “Pelvic Floor and Where to Find It” Series in August! Hope you’ll enjoy and learn from it as much as I did. It has been life changing for me.
See you there!
