I’ve been exploring different ways of supporting the female body for over 15 years. Starting out with a more traditional path of study (a Bachelor of Science in Psychology) I then worked as a Personal Trainer in a gym setting. My female clients were a beautiful gift from those years as their changing needs (and my own) eventually led me to certifications in Integrative Nutrition, Mind Body Eating, Natural Movement Techniques, Transformational Breath Work, Usui Reiki, Holistic Pelvic Care and Integrative Pelvic Therapy.

Birthing my daughter and becoming a mother gave me a profound window into the power and magic of the female body. At the same time it illuminated how disconnected I had become from my center in order to keep up with the pace of modern life. Journeying into the pelvic bowl restored my connection and showed me how to tend to the female body in a way that more fully honored her.

Supporting women in the discovery of their own wisdom and medicine continues to inspire and amaze me daily. Our bodies are not broken, they know exactly what they need in order to feel vital and expansive. Learning to understand their language is a transformative process.

This work is nourishing for *ANY phase of life and is wonderfully supportive prior to conception, during postpartum, and if you have experienced miscarriage or pregnancy release. If you have had any pelvic organs removed, their energy imprint remains a part of you and can be tended.

If you are currently going through menopause, or even if you are long past, this work is absolutely still for you! Simply integrating your menstruating years allows for a deep clearing of congestion from the pelvic bowl. It is never too late to support all we have experienced in our womb space. Women are meant to live in cycles and seasons just like mother nature. We are not linear beings and neither is this work. It will meet you wherever you are.

*Pregnancy is a very potent time for the womb space, and I tend to let the nest be. However, there are many other wonderful ways to support mama and baby. Please feel free to contact me if you would like referrals or resources.

The benefits of working in the pelvic bowl are wide ranging and involve the clearing of congestion. This can be a result of past injuries, postural issues, shifts from pregnancy or birth, and the buildup of emotions such as grief, anger or shame that have not been cleared.

Symptoms of congestion may present as:

• Painful or irregular periods

• Difficulty conceiving

• A sense of heaviness in the pelvis

• Pelvic organ prolapse

• Chronic pelvic or back pain

• Digestive issues

• Urinary Incontinence

• An especially hard transition through menopause

• Fatigue, depression, or anxiety

• Lack of sex drive, painful sex, or difficulty reaching orgasm

• A dissociative relationship with pleasure in general

Sessions may include energy work, embodiment practice, guided meditations, or exploration into the narratives and belief systems your particular psyche is holding about your body and navigating the world as a woman. I currently offer external sessions on the pelvic bowl, however working internally on the fascia inside the pelvic bowl is an essential piece. Internal massage, alongside with abdominal massage, may be taught as part of a self care practice, and/or referrals may be provided to holistic minded physical therapists who specialize in internal work.
