It's a startling fact that pelvic floor problems affect nearly 1 in 4 women over 20? Also surprising is that they often goes unnoticed. Why? Well, these issues can be a bit embarrassing for people to talk about, and they're frequently mistaken for other conditions.

Join us for an eye-opening seminar with Amanda Roe, a women's health expert who's seen it all when it comes to pelvic floor disorders. She shares her wealth of knowledge in a way that's easy to understand and apply.
