Holistic Pelvic Care™
Unhurried time to connect with your pelvic bowl, your breath and your body.
Holistic Pelvic Care™ brings together physical and energetic tools to give unhurried attention to the pelvic bowl, the space that holds your womb, your ovaries and so much of what we carry as women.
It was developed by Tami Lynn Kent, a women's health physiotherapist and writer in America.
Most of us rarely give this part of our body any time at all, unless something feels wrong. A session is a chance to slow down and notice: where you hold tension, how your breath moves, what it feels like to bring kind attention to your core. Women come at all stages of life, for all sorts of reasons, and you don't need a reason beyond wanting to feel more connected with yourself.
Traditionally the treatment is internal, but I also work energetically, without an internal approach, if you'd prefer. It's entirely your choice.
Some women like to start with a few sessions close together, then come back once a year, at times of big change, or whenever they feel drawn to. There's no pressure. I passionately believe this is something that should be available to every woman.
What to expect
We begin with a conversation, so you know exactly what will happen and can ask anything you like. You'll then be given privacy to undress from the waist down and get comfortable on the couch under a blanket.
Wearing latex-free gloves and using an organic lubricant, I gently insert one finger into the vagina to feel the pelvic floor muscles, noticing where there is more or less tension, sometimes while you gently tense and relax. From there the session may include gentle massage and myofascial work, breathwork and visualisation.
It should never hurt. You're in charge throughout, and we can pause or stop at any time.
If something doesn't feel quite right in your body, please speak to your GP as well.
