For years, I had a designated coughing chair in my kitchen—a strategically placed seat where I could brace myself anytime I needed to sneeze, cough, or even laugh. My kids knew better than to put anything on it because, in those crucial seconds, I needed a clear path. If I didn’t make it in time? Well… let’s just say I was adding another load to the laundry.
Like so many women, I had adapted my life around my pelvic floor weakness. I avoided workouts that involved jumping or squatting, showered before intimacy in case of any residual leakage, and even swapped out tampons for a menstrual disc—because, as you might guess, tampons simply fell out when I sat down to pee. On top of that, lingering scar tissue from childbirth made intimacy uncomfortable.
Yet, every day, I pushed through. I showed up. I worked hard. I put on my best face and tried to feel confident, even when my body wasn’t cooperating.
Searching for a Solution to Incontinence (and Coming Up Short)
As a Certified Nurse-Midwife, I felt as though I should have been able to find a solution. However, the options weren’t great. The best I could do was pelvic floor physical therapy, which, while helpful, required a serious time commitment with slow progress. After my second baby, my personal “solution” was to buy a treadmill, insert an Impressa bladder support device, and run my way to a stronger pelvic floor—despite the inevitable accidents. I did this for six months, but no matter how hard I worked, one bad stomach bug or respiratory virus would send me right back to square one.
The Game-Changer: Discovering EmpowerRF
Then, a few months ago, an InMode rep walked into my clinic with a device I’d never heard of before. It was pink—perfectly matching my office décor—but more importantly, it came with five handpieces, each designed to help women like me. Women who had been let down repeatedly by our healthcare system. Women who had resigned themselves to cough chairs, workout limitations, and quiet frustrations.
This moment changed everything.
I started with VTone, a device that delivers intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation—think the perfect kegel—while you lay back and relax for 30 minutes. It reawakened the connection between my brain and my pelvic floor, retraining those muscles. I didn’t even realize how weak the signal had become until I felt those contractions working.
- After three sessions, I was only dribbling after a long day on my feet.
- After six sessions, I wasn’t dribbling at all.
I also paired VTone with FormaV, which helps stimulate collagen in the pelvic floor tissue, supporting strength and elasticity. This not only helped with my leakage but also transformed my sex life by increasing blood flow, improving muscle tone, and leading to stronger, more satisfying orgasms.
Finally, I did three Morpheus8V treatments targeting my vaginal canal, labia, and vulva. This was a game-changer for my scar tissue from birth trauma, breaking it down and restoring elasticity. It also helped my body naturally increase lubrication—a major win, especially during the hormone shifts of breastfeeding. A little bonus was the skin-tightening effect, which gave me back confidence in tight-fitting yoga pants. Was it medically necessary? No. Did it make me feel fantastic? Absolutely.
All Sneeze, No Pee: A Nonsurgical Solution to Incontinence
I knew there had to be a better way, but I didn’t realize just how much of a difference these treatments would make. Now, I can go about my day without worrying about a rogue sneeze. When it comes to intimacy, I feel more comfortable and confident in my body again—without the distractions of discomfort or dryness.
It is now my mission to make sure every woman in North Central West Virginia knows these life-changing treatments exist. I want every patient who walks through my doors to leave with a stronger, healthier, and more functional pelvic floor than when they arrived.
