Pelapy exists because too many women grow up without clear, honest education about their bodies.
Puberty, periods, hormones, and menopause are often treated like things you’re supposed to “figure out,” tolerate, or quietly endure. Conversations are avoided. Questions go unanswered. And by the time many women reach adulthood, they’re left feeling behind, confused, or unsure what’s normal.
We believe that’s not okay.
Pelapy was created to change how women learn about their bodies — at every stage of life. Not with shame. Not with fear. And not with information that feels overwhelming or out of reach.
Our approach is grounded, practical, and human. We explain what’s happening in your body in a way that makes sense, so you can stop guessing and start understanding. We give you language for conversations that are often avoided. And we create space for learning that feels supportive — not intimidating.
Because understanding your body shouldn’t feel like a privilege. It should feel normal.
Meet Dr. V
Dr. Valerie Akinwande is a pelvic floor doctor of physical therapy with 14 years of experience. She’s an experienced clinician with specialized training in pregnancy, postpartum and the pelvic floor. As a mother of 3, she has overcome many of the conditions she treats which drives her passion and pursuit to see women thrive in every life stage.
After years of seeing the same patterns — confusion, unanswered questions, and women feeling dismissed or behind — Dr. V created Pelapy as a space for clear, honest education about the female body. A place where women and girls can learn what’s happening in their bodies, understand what’s normal, and feel confident asking questions at every stage of life.
