Pelvic Health Care for Moms on the Move

Ditch the pain and leaks and live your life.

Redefining Pelvic Health Care. Accessible anywhere.

Created with YOU in mind.

I provide personalized solutions for women to reduce pain and improve confidence with activity during pregnancy, postpartum and all other stages of life!

Hi families! I’m Johanna Metzger, a Pelvic Health DPT, Lactation Counselor, and a mom who’s seen the "glamour" of postpartum firsthand.

Originally from snowy Syracuse, NY, I happily traded the snow for Charlotte, NC. However, my biggest move was a career pivot. After many years in orthopedics, I had my son and realized that even with my clinical background, I was lost. Between a breastfeeding journey that YouTube couldn't fix and a body that didn't "bounce back" on its own, leaks and pain with basic movement, I realized that women deserve better than just "giving it time."

I decided to become the specialist I actually needed. By combining two decades of PT experience with advanced certifications in Pelvic Health and Lactation, I’m here to help women just like you navigate the physical demands of motherhood. By working together, we’ll trade the leaks and pain for REAL results, physical strength and wellness without the guesswork.

Whether you’re looking to heal your floor or find your flow, I’m genuinely "pumped" to help you reclaim your strength and feel like the powerhouse you are.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • Kelsey M. Mother of One

    Working with Johanna has been life-changing. Her instruction with pelvic floor therapy and coaching has got me back to feeling like myself after having my daughter. She has helped in so many aspects of my life, from personal daily tasks to how to improve core muscles-this has helped me at home picking up my toddler as well as squatting/lifting in the gym. If I could go back and change anything, it’s that I wish I would have started seeing her before I even became pregnant. She’s helping me become the best version of myself.

  • Jackie H. Physical Therapist

    I had our second child on 7/22/22 via planned c-section and although breastfeeding went well from the get-go, I still had questions and needed reassurance. Scheduling my breastfeeding consult was easy and Johanna was amazing! I did the virtual appointment right from my phone while I sat in my recliner with my daughter on the boppy. She made many helpful observations and gave me a ton of information to make me feel more confident in my breastfeeding journey. I would highly recommend her!

  • Danielle H. Pediatrics

    Johanna is professional, personable, and knowledgeable, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the exam and consultation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Better begins here for your pelvic health

Let’s take this journey together!

As new moms and families, it is an exciting and busy time adjusting to life with a new baby. It’s no secret that postpartum care is a JOKE in this country, and let me tell ya, there’s nothing magical about a 6-week visit that can capture all of a new mother’s health concerns!

We simply HAVE to do better.

My mission is to listen first, educate, and collaborate with mothers as they navigate pelvic health concerns during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond!
