In this episode of The Healing Core, Dr. Maria is joined by pelvic floor occupational therapist Marlene Handler, founder of The Lifted Lotus in Brooklyn, to break down a truly holistic approach to pelvic health.

Together, they explore how chronic pelvic pain, nervous system dysregulation, stress, and lifestyle factors all connect, and why traditional, symptom-focused care often falls short.

Marlene shares her unique occupational therapy perspective, focusing on therapeutic listening, nervous system regulation, habit stacking, and individualized care to help patients finally feel safe and supported in their bodies again.
