Meet Your Connect Coaches

Learn more about the team of experts here to support you through every step of your Connect journey.

Every Connect coach is an expert in her own right

The team behind your training

Connect was developed by Dr. Caroline Packard, DPT, to help women understand their bodies, address the root causes of pelvic floor dysfunction, and build strength that supports real life.

As Connect grows, so does the expertise behind your training. Each coach brings her own advanced training, years of hands-on experience, and a specialty that makes the team stronger. And because every coach teaches the Connect method, you get one consistent approach with more perspectives, more support, and more ways to find what works for you.
