First visit
Your first visit, step by step
About an hour, one-on-one, with Wilhelmina. Nothing happens without your yes.
- 01
Step 1: Before you come
You choose a time and give us your name, phone and email. We do not ask about your health on this site. Your forms come by a secure link from the practice's portal.
- 02
Step 2: When you arrive
The room is private and quiet, and a restroom is beside it. Come in as you are, and take your time.
- 03
Step 3: You talk
Fully clothed. Wilhelmina asks what brought you in, what you want to be able to do, and what you have already tried. You can ask her anything.
- 04
Step 4: She looks at how you move
How you sit, stand, breathe and lift. An internal exam is only ever offered, never assumed, and you can decline and still be seen.
- 05
Step 5: You leave with a plan
What she found in plain words, a few things to try, and a plan you have agreed to. You choose whether to book again.
What to wear and bring
Wear what you can move in
Loose pants or leggings and a top you can lift your arms in. Nothing special.
Bring what helps
Any notes, test results or a list of questions. A bladder or bowel diary, if you keep one.
Bring someone, if you like
A partner, friend or family member is welcome for all of your visit or part of it.
What is decided on the first day
Less than you might think. Most of it is decided together, over time.

Wondering how it is paid for?
You hear what to expect before you book, in writing if you are paying yourself.
