Marla Maislin is a physiotherapist, an advocate, and the founder behind Bloom Physiotherapy — a specialized women's health clinic in the GTA dedicated to pelvic health, perinatal wellness, and cancer recovery. With advanced post-graduate training in pelvic health physiotherapy and a background spanning acute care surgery, orthopedics, and neurology, Marla brings a rare and comprehensive skill set to one of the most underserved areas in women's healthcare. What began as a passion for helping women feel empowered in their own bodies evolved into a full-scale practice built on the belief that every woman deserves honest, evidence-based answers — especially the ones nobody is asking out loud.

Through Bloom Physiotherapy, Marla is building more than a clinic — she is building a space where women feel safe to talk about the things that have always been treated as too uncomfortable, too embarrassing, or too taboo to discuss. From sex after having kids and pain that women are told to simply live with, to the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, Bloom exists to give women the information and treatment they deserve at every stage of life. Marla has always been an advocate for women having access to good quality information in order to make smart decisions about their health and be active participants in their own care — her philosophy being that women need to take control of their bodies and know where to seek out information when something isn't right.

Beyond her work as a clinician and founder, Marla is deeply passionate about changing the way women experience healthcare — not by waiting for the system to catch up, but by filling the gap herself. As a podcast guest, she brings warmth, clinical expertise, and a refreshingly direct perspective on the conversations women have needed to have for a very long time. She shares the real answers behind pelvic health, pleasure, pain, and everything in between — with the kind of honesty that makes you wonder why nobody told you this sooner.
