After years of navigating pregnancy + postpartum challenges, listening to the stories shared by other mothers + trying to find support, Lexy built Rhythm + Ritual Pelvic Health to support women through their journey of matrescence (the process of becoming a mother). This practice centers on collaborating with mothers to help them feel confident in their bodies, competent in their roles + connected to their families + communities.

Lexy believes that women are the experts of their own bodies + that her role is helping mothers shift their own ability to impact change in their lives through daily habits + routines.
