Waking up five times a night to use the bathroom might sound like a minor inconvenience until it becomes your reality. Pelvic-floor weakness can interrupt sleep, limit daily activities and turn a cough or laugh into a source of anxiety.
Jennifer Cook, owner of TBS Collective Wellness, understands that wellness concerns extend beyond the body. They can affect confidence, relationships and the freedom to move through everyday life without worry.
That understanding shapes the experience she hopes to create at TBS. While the studio offers services focused on both outward results and internal wellness, Cook believes meaningful care begins with listening. She wants clients to feel comfortable discussing concerns they may have quietly accepted or felt too embarrassed to mention.
For Cook, the work is not simply about offering a treatment. It is about learning what a client hopes to regain, whether that is strength, confidence, restful sleep or the ability to enjoy daily activities again. Sometimes, that connection begins before someone ever intends to become a client.
One conversation began outside TBS Collective Wellness. Cook noticed a man in his 80s who needed a restroom but hesitated because of the studio’s “No Public Restroom” sign. They reassured him and invited him inside.
The man explained that a medical condition gave him only a few minutes to find a restroom. Cook listened, told him about Emsella and offered him a complimentary session to experience the treatment.
He later completed six sessions. Before beginning, he had been waking five to seven times each night. After his fifth session, he reported waking only twice. When Cook followed up 90 days after his final treatment, he said he was sleeping until approximately 6 a.m.
For him, the change meant more than fewer trips to the bathroom. It meant getting a full night of rest.
Emsella is one way TBS addresses sensitive concerns. The noninvasive treatment is designed to strengthen weakened pelvic-floor muscles. Clients remain fully clothed while sitting on a chair that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate thousands of muscle contractions during a 28-minute session.
Emsella creates full supramaximal contractions that simulate 11,200 Kegel exercises in 28 minutes, earning it the nickname “the Kegel throne.” Weakness in the muscles supporting the bladder and other pelvic organs can contribute to leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing or exercising, along with frequent urination and sudden urgency. Treatment requires no surgery or recovery time, and TBS recommends a series of sessions based on each client’s needs.
Results vary, but Cook has seen how improvement can truly influence life beyond the treatment room. Her goal is to meet clients without judgment, help them understand their options and create an environment where personal concerns can be discussed openly. Whether someone is seeking outward changes, renewed strength or relief from symptoms they have learned to work around, Cook wants each person to leave feeling heard, supported and more confident in their body.
