Medicinal Movement

Movement is life.

There are infinite ways to incorporate meaningful movement into the flow of your day. This does not have to be time consuming or stressful. Truly!

I grew up playing sports and then spent years working out following a variety of methodologies. I also spent years training the same as the men in my life, coaches, friends, and partners. Ignoring the fact that I had a cycle, I showed up to each workout from week to week expecting myself to perform at relatively the same level. As my exploration in my womb space and pelvis deepened, the way I thought of exercise and movement shifted in a BIG way. The acknowledgment that women and men are designed for fundamentally different biological purposes, allowed me to shift my beliefs about how much or how hard I needed to work in order to feel good.

Movement has the potential to be profoundly healing, but our relationship to who we are as movers, and the quality of our movement matters so much. Are we able to sense our feet on the ground and are we breathing well? Or are we overwhelmed, in pain and in a state of fight or flight?

The times we are living in are fast paced and overstimulating. Because of this, oftentimes, our female body is experiencing our training as overall net STRESS. The most important part of our movement practice is that it first and foremost SLOWS US DOWN and takes us INTO our body. From there, we can build trust and increase our capacity to feel and experience pleasure. This type of movement will fuel you, instead of deplete you. Once you shift your how you will be able to make your own medicine every day simply by moving.

Embodied Pelvic Care

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

  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 any of your pelvic organs have been removed, their energy imprint remains and absolutely can be tended.

  If you are currently going through menopause, or even if you are long past, this work is especially powerful. Simply integrating your menstruating years allows for a deep clearing of congestion from the pelvic bowl. It is never too late to support your 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.
