Holistic
Pelvic & Abdominal Therapy
Relieving, revitalizing, and restoring health.
Healing for the center of your body and being
In working with your abdomen and pelvis, I engage with the whole of you.
Not only do our bellies and pelvises hold physically critical digestive and reproductive organs, but these organs are intimately tied to our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, life experiences and responses of the autonomic nervous system—the part of our nervous system that responds to external and internal messages of safety and threat.
That is why in Pelvic & Abdominal Healing, we join together in paying attention to how your nervous system responds and discover what enables you to feel safe, supported and cared for in your pelvis and belly. I can then use a combination of myofascial release, hands-on energy work, and visceral therapy to help your belly and pelvis become more receptive to change, healing and balance.
Pelvic and Abdominal Healing can also include internal pelvic floor therapy, addressing chronically held tensions, numbness and self-protective responses from traumas and transgressions.
To help you relax before receiving pelvic therapy, you can add 10 to 15 minutes of relaxing pelvic steaming.
Your diet is essential to how your digestive and reproductive organs function and thrive. Taking care of what you eat while receiving pelvic and abdominal bodywork will improve the chances of a beneficial outcome.
While I do not accept insurance, I can provide you a superbill.
To effectively shift your system into a healing trajectory, I recommend that you begin with a series of six sessions every other week. After this is done, we can evaluate and determine the rhythm that feels right for you. The Healing Journey Package is designed for this. Please see below.
Holistic Pelvic & Abdominal Therapy Can Help . . .
* Resolve trauma responses or adverse reactions to surgical, medical, sexual, birth, birth loss and life events. This can include internal pelvic floor therapy with your consent.
* Free up scar tissue, such as from caesareans, hernia repairs and endometriosis. This can include internal pelvic floor therapy with your consent.
* Alleviate chronic stress and tension held in the belly, pelvis and pelvic floor.
* Bring a healthy balance to digestive systems with disorders such as IBS, SIBO, colitis and constipation.
* Balance a dysregulated reproductive system with disorders such as irregular cycles, menstrual pain, pms, and fertility challenges.
Pelvic and Abdominal Healing may help relieve symptoms of endometriosis and PCOS, but these conditions are often complex. I recommend concurrent care with a naturopath, functional medicine doctor, acupuncturist, and/or doctor.
* Prepare and support for pregnancy and birth.
* Support postpartum recovery.
* Embodiment of and connection to your gut wisdom, intuitive powers, creativity and libido.
This is for you if
* You are ready to explore new ways of being in your body and actively engage in the process of body awareness.
* You believe that your emotions and body are connected.
* You welcome supportive and clarifying conversation while receiving bodywork.
This is not for you if
* You want to remain passive and only receive the work.
* You only want to address the physical aspect—and not the nervous system, emotional, and energetic aspects—of your belly, pelvis, reproductive and digestive systems.
* Your nervous system is in such a state of dysregulation that trauma therapy would be more beneficial. This can be determined by a phone consultation prior to booking a first session.
What is Pelvic Steaming?
Pelvic steaming brings warmth, relaxation, circulation, and therapeutic herbal oils to the tissues of the vulva, vagina, pelvic floor msucles and reproductive organs.
Pelvic steaming is a wonderful way to bring more relaxation to the belly, pelvis and pelvic floor before receiving pelvic and abdominal therapy.
Pelvic steaming has been traditionally used around the world for postpartum women to help with the recovery of the pelvic floor and reproductive system after birth.
Regular pelvic steaming at home can help regulate menstrual cycles, clear infections and heal traumatic responses in the pelvis.
Pelvic steaming is contraindicated if you are menstruating, pregnant, have fresh bleeding, hot flashes, or you are trying to conceive and are within the two week period of post-ovulation or are post-transfer of IVF or IUI treatment.
