Women’s Pelvic Health Unfiltered: Debunking Myths and Driving Change

Women’s Health Week Fireside Panel – Women's Pelvic Health Unfiltered.

In celebration of Women’s Health Week, the Alberta Chapter of the Women’s Health Coalition invites you to an empowering evening in Calgary at the Coven Health Collective.

Join us on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 5:00 PM–7:30 PM for an intimate fireside panel discussion exploring “Women's Pelvic Health Unfiltered: Debunking Myths and Driving Change.” This unique event brings together a dynamic duo of female health experts to have an honest, judgment-free conversation about women's pelvic health, debunking the myths we've all been handed, challenging the stigmas that have kept us quiet, and finally talking openly about the things that matter most. We're covering your pelvic floor across every stage of life, how hormones shape everything, and why pain and pleasure in intimacy deserve to be talked about openly.
