Dr. Michelle Wall and her husband, Ryan, have two daughters, Madelyn and Ellie, ages 3 and 1. Michelle is a pelvic floor physical therapist with a special focus on the pregnant and postpartum population. Just because she is a pelvic floor physical therapist doesn't mean she just treats the pelvic floor. She takes a holistic approach with her patients to determine the underlying causes for symptoms and pain, which often lie outside the pelvis. Michelle owns Moms in Motion PT, a mobile physical therapy practice where she treats all her clients in the comfort of their own homes. She is an athlete and became passionate about helping other moms after rehabbing her body after the birth of her first daughter and navigating the challenges of the medical system firsthand. In her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time outside with her family, going on walks, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Ep 95 Preconception to Postpartum with Eastern Medicine with Jessica Gustafson
Interview with Jessica Gustafson of Reverie Acupuncture to discuss how Eastern Medicine can support the journey from preconception to postpartum.
Jessica Gustafson is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, doula, and birth care giver in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Since 2012 she has been a partner to women through massage, nutrition, traditional and modern medicines, helping them connect with their bodies, minds, and spirits. She interned at Masonic Children’s Hospital, the University of Minnesota Medical Center, and Regions Hospital. After graduating with her masters from NWHSU and receiving her board certification with the NCCAOM, she expanded her practice to support families from preconception through postpartum with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
When she's not in the clinic working with patients, you can find her curled up with stacks of books on her couch with a cup of coffee. And if the couch is empty, check the woods; she's probably out in the wilderness with her husband and daughter.
She is offering 25% off of my new patient intake: WCTC-INTAKE
