1:1 Pelvic/Core Alignment Assessments & Pelvic Care
Your pelvic floor, core muscles and breathing diaphragm are designed to work together as a coherent unit, responding to pressure change and load demand as needed. When these aspects aren't able to work dynamically due to limitations in mobility, postural/alignment patterns and body changes, the body will compensate and dysfunction may arise or become more pronounced.
Together we can work with where you are at, from the ground up, to create lasting change, equip you with knowledge, body awareness and a toolkit to help you move forward and achieve your goals!
Restore Your Core is a program designed to help you build a strong and reflexive core and pelvic floor through movement and body awareness. These sessions are educational, experiential, and individualized to your goals. The method and exercises are all pelvic floor safe and help heal and reduce symptoms of dysfunction in the core and PF such as:
-uterine/bladder/rectocele prolapse
-incontinence
-low back/back pain & herniated discs
-pedundal nerve issues
-pelvic pain, tension and discomfort
-discomfort during sex
-Diastasis Recti
-hyper tonic, hypo tonic or weak pelvic floor muscles
-digestive issues
-low back pain
The sessions are also designed to help you if you are:
-Recovering from c-section or abdominal surgery (with Dr.'s clearance)
-Lacking sensation in core/pelvic floor
-Postpartum and looking to start exercise again, learning about your new body from the ground up.

What People Are Saying
"I recently did a 1:1 Restore your core session with Maressa and it was an amazing experience! I came to her with concerns about pelvic floor issues and low back pain, as well as the intention to learn ways to reset, strengthen my core, and improve my stability while working with clients (i'm a bodyworker). Maressa made me feel so comfortable throughout the session, and her instruction was both educational and clear.
She addressed my concerns thoughtfully, guiding me through exercises that felt supportive and effective. I espeically appreciated how thorough she was - she sent me a follow up video with demonstrations of everything we covered, which was incredibly helpful for retaining the exercises. Her knowledge, care, and attention to detail really shine through, and I highly recommend working with her!
-Sara L.
"My experience of the RYC technique with Maressa was both informative and enlightening. She helped me understand the mechanics of my anterior pelvic tilt and work with the basic foundations of breath and movement to restore my relationship with my pelvic floor on a daily basis. Maressa made the process fun and comfortable while effectively asking the right questions and guiding me towards making connections in my own body that continue to stick with me today. My daily body mechanics in my work as a massage therapist and in my fitness have changed completely." - Marie P.
"I have been a massage therapist for 18 years and have received LOTS of bodywork and I couldn't believe how much new awareness I had after seeing Maressa for a Restore Your Core session. She is a wealth of knowledge and insight and helped me tune into some imbalances I was having while giving me the tools I needed to actually do something about it." -Libby G.
"Loved our session so much! Your approach helped connect the rational understanding of my patterns and the way it should actually feel in my body so fast! I tried many approaches, but none of them was so hands on and easy to put into action. I had the impression you have been doing those sessions for along time! Thank you so much! -Stefanie H.
