A Letter from Our Founder
For over twenty years, my professional journey has taken me across four continents and into the heart of the world’s most advanced clinical spaces. From the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley to the prestigious halls of Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania, I have been privileged to shape the standards of pelvic health for some of the most discerning organizations in the world.
But throughout those years, even while developing programs for global icons like Google and Nike, my heart remained connected to the region that shaped my earliest years. Having been raised in the Middle East, I have always understood the quiet resilience, dignity, and grace of the women here.
Yet, for too long, I have watched women of the Gulf look beyond our borders—whether to London, New York, or Geneva—to find the level of healthcare, privacy, and specialized expertise they deserve.
I founded J&I Elite to close that gap.
As one of the few Board-Certified Women’s Health Specialists (WCS) globally,a distinction held by less than 1% of my profession, I recognize that elite clinical results require more than just technology. They require a practitioner who understands the cultural and emotional landscape of your life.
At J&I, we provide a "clinical extension" of your lifestyle. Here, we don’t just offer services; we offer a sanctuary. We provide international standard women’s health and wellness support alongside our signature Healing With Grace Pelvic Wellness Protocol. We offer the expert care you expect from Western medical capitals, balanced with a profound cultural empathy that honors your story, your privacy, and your values.
This center is a tribute to the values of faith and excellence instilled in my siblings and I by our parents, Mr & Mrs Joshua and Idongesit Reuben Udofia. You have always cared for your family, your businesses, and your community with excellence. It is now our honor to care for you.
With Grace and Excellence,
Dr. Ann Udofia Nwabuebo, PT, DPT, WCS
Founder, J&I Elite Women’s Health
Healing With Grace™
Global Clinical Excellence
An evidence-based approach designed for the unique challenges of a woman’s body—from C-section recovery to releasing chronic stress and deep tissue tension.
The Private Consultation
We don't just scan; we listen. We map your history, from all your past health battles and surgeries to boardroom stress, to find the root cause.
Release & Restore
No machines. We use advanced manual therapy treatments to physically release the "held" tension in your scars, pelvis, spine and the rest of your body.
Calm & Balance
Stress locks pain into the body. We guide your nervous system out of "fight or flight" so deep healing can begin.
Living Without Limits
We retrain your body for your life—whether that's lifting a toddler, sitting through a board meeting, or bowing in prayer without fear.
The Leadership Vitality Journey
For the woman who cannot afford downtime.
You lead organizations and manage high-stakes decisions. But in private, you are managing chronic pain and disruptive physical discomfort. The cost of "pushing through" is too high. Distraction in board meetings, inability to wear your wardrobe comfortably, endless use of pain medications, and the looming threat of surgery. You cannot let a "disconnected" core threaten your career longevity.
The J&I Intervention
- Nervous System & Physical Restoration: We focus on specialized hands-on techniques that do more than relax muscles, they reset your body’s stress response. By restoring true physical function and calming the nervous system, we create the physical foundation for mental clarity and focus.
- Tension & Postural Realignment: We use manual therapy and targeted exercises to gently release the deep tension and compensatory tightness in the core and spine that build up from high-stress work and constant "pushing through."
- Confidence & Body Comfort: We don't just treat the pain; we address the symptoms and physical discomfort to improve how you look and feel in your body, restoring your confidence in your entire wardrobe.
Real Story: "The Executive" (Patient C.P.)
The Struggle: A 50-year-old executive had suffered from chronic low back pain for a year. She had stopped her morning workouts and was finding it impossible to sit through long strategy sessions. Her doctor had already suggested spinal surgery as the next step.
The HWG Breakthrough: Our deep dive revealed that she had postural compensation issues and untreated scar tissue from previous abdominal surgeries. She didn't need surgery; she needed hands-on work to release the deep tension in her core, spine, and pelvis.
The Collaboration: We coordinated her care with herorthopedic doctor to ensure she was on the right types of medications to support the hands-on work in therapy.
The Transformation: After 12 visits of the Executive Protocol, she successfully managed her condition. She is back to exercising daily and leads her team without the distraction of pain.
Grace in Motion
For dignity, integrity in spiritual life, and full participation in life.
Bladder control issues are a treatable muscular condition. The social cost of this condition is devastating: avoiding travel, fearing embarrassing situations at events, and the disruption of religious or cultural practices due to leakage. We restore your confidence to stand, move, and travel freely.
The J&I Intervention
- Pelvic Floor Training: We use manual therapy techniques and exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and better support the pelvic organs.
- Dryness Training: Neuromuscular retraining to ensure you remain dry during social gatherings, exercise, spiritual observance, and travel.
- Surgical Prevention: A proactive, conservative approach to avoid invasive often prescribed abroad.
Real Story: "The Matriarch" (Patient G.P.)
The Struggle: A mother of two was suffering from leakage whenever she coughed, sneezed, or tried to exercise. She felt a heavy "pressure" by the end of every day and had begun withdrawing from social events out of fear of embarrassment.
The HWG Breakthrough: We identified lots of tightness, weakness, and coordination problems around her core and pelvic floor muscle. A treatable condition, not a permanent defect. We used muscle re-training exercises to improve her core and pelvic floor strength.
The Collaboration: We worked hand-in-hand with her OB/GYN to fit her with a pessary (support device), allowing her to heal while maintaining her daily life.
The Transformation: She can bend, lift, cough without leaking, and she has reclaimed her active social life.
Body Balance & Preparation
Preparing the body to receive life.
IVF cycles are a significant financial and emotional investment which take an immense emotional toll. You invest heavily in the science of conception; we ensure your body is physically capable of receiving that care. We prepare the soil before you plant the seed, removing the mechanical barriers that often lead to unexplained failed cycles.
The J&I Intervention
- Scar & Adhesion Release: We use highly specialized Visceral Manipulation and Myofascial Release techniques to address deep abdominal scarring, dense fascial patterns, and adhesions.
- Movement for Optimized Flow: Neuromuscular Education—retraining your core and body to use movement patterns that maximize oxygen-rich blood flow to the pelvic organs.
- Nervous System Reset: Moving your body out of "Fight or Flight" (which blocks fertility) into "Rest and Receive."
Real Story: "The Fertility Seeker" (Patient A.P.)
The Struggle: A 30 year old woman with endometriosis, fibroids, and a history of pelvic surgery was suffering from debilitating pain. Her abdomen was full of adhesions (internal scars) gluing her ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes in her pelvis, creating a difficult environment for conception.
The HWG Breakthrough: We combined gentle manual work to help regulate the nervous system and free up the dense scar tissue throughout her pelvis.
The Collaboration: We partnered with her fertility team, and other health care providers to coordinate her care, manage her stress triggers while preparing her body for IVF.
The Transformation: Her pain reduced by over 85%. Her body shifted from a state of defense to a state of receptivity, creating the optimal environment for her next chapter.
Mother & Core Recovery
For core healing, scar recovery, and a return to self.
After childbirth, your family cares for you and the baby, and we care for your physical recovery. We’re here to help heal the Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation), treat your birth scars, and back pain.
The J&I Intervention
- Comprehensive Scar Release: We use specialized manual therapy to treat C-section and perineal scars. This mobilization prevents issues like the scar "shelf" overhang and pelvic pain.
- Postural Realignment: We realign the body to counter the physical shifts of pregnancy and the daily strain of nursing and carrying your child, restoring your natural balance and ease of movement.
- Marital Comfort & Well-being: We use manual therapy techniques and exercises to encourage relaxation and blood flow to the pelvic floor, core and spine to ensure your return to marital intimacy is confident and pain-free.
Real Story: "The New Mum" (Patient E.K.)
The Struggle: One year after a traumatic birth, "E.K." was still in significant pain. She couldn't play with her child, she couldn't return to work, and intimacy with her husband had stopped completely. She was terrified of the idea of having another child.
The HWG Breakthrough: We identified that her pelvic floor was stuck in a "protective state" following her delivery. By using a trauma-informed approach, we helped her body feel safe enough to let go of that tension, allowing her to finally move without discomfort and feel like herself again.
The Collaboration: We coordinated with her OB/GYN to introduce hormonal therapies that supported our manual work.
The Transformation: Her pain vanished. She returned to work and resumed intimacy with her husband. Most importantly, she went on to have a second, pain-free pregnancy.
The Pain Management Program
The end of unresolved discomfort.
You have been told your pain is 'normal,' 'all in your head,' or simply a 'recurring infection.' It is none of those things. Your pain is real, and more importantly, it is treatable. Chronic pelvic pain is a quiet thief of joy.. Our goal is to break the cycle of temporary fixes and medications that come with unwanted side effects, addressing the root cause so you can finally move forward and feel like yourself again.
- Pain-Loop Interruption: Turning off the "alarm bells" in your pelvis.
- Scar tissue release: Releasing the "glued" tissues from old surgical scars.
- Root Cause Assessment: Identifying compensatory patterns in the body contributing to your pain.
The Struggle: Fibroids were surgically removed in the U.S, but her abdominal and pelvic pain remained 1 year later.
The HWG Breakthrough: Significant scar tissue had left her body in a guarded state. She avoided essential movements of her body for fear of further injury. We focused on releasing the physical restrictions and retraining her body to feel safe and fluid in its natural motion.
The Transformation: After just 16 visits, she reported 90% reduction in pain, the constant fear of movement went away, allowing her to travel and return to the social activities that made her happy.
The Birth Ready Protocol
For a smoother, safer, and more empowered delivery.
Preparing your body for birth is an act of empowerment. We don't just "hope" for a smooth delivery; we can use movement science to support it. Whether you are aiming for a natural birth, C-section or a VBAC, we ensure your body is physically prepared and feeling resilient for the journey ahead.
- Pelvic Alignment Work: Creating maximum space for the baby to descend.
- Labor & Delivery Preparation: Positions to open the pelvis naturally.
- Perineal Protection: Reducing the risk of tearing.
The Struggle: A Dermatologist wanted a VBAC, but her body felt stiff and very weak.
The HWG Breakthrough: Her old c-section scar tension was quietly affecting her hips, back, and pelvic floor. By releasing the adhesions and restoring strength, her body felt stronger and ready for birth.
The Transformation: She felt grounded and more mobile at her 37th week of pregnancy and achieved a successful, uncomplicated natural birth.
