01. Our Focus

Empowering women to move freely and live well.

Kristin Hietbrink, owner and founder of Core Connect, is a pelvic floor physical therapist and prenatal/postpartum corrective exercise specialist. She is also a mom of 3! After going through her own struggles with pelvic floor dysfunction following childbirth, Kristin has a unique passion for helping pregnant and postpartum women with prevention, wellness, and recovery.

She is eager to educate women and be sure they know there is help available for your prenatal and postpartum concerns.

A women’s body goes through so many changes during pregnancy and childbirth. It can be scary trying to navigate those changes on your own.

Kristin is specially trained in pelvic floor and perinatal physical therapy and can help you improve symptoms of diastasis recti, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, Cesarean scar hypomobility, back pain, hip pain, and pelvic girdle pain.

Using a holistic approach as she partners with you to meet your goals, Kristin will help you return to doing all the things you want to do, love to do, and need to do safely throughout your perinatal journey.
