The pelvic massage I offer is informed from Holistic Pelvic Care ™ (HPC), a gentle womb healing technique that focuses on visualization and energy clearing, as well as tissue-specific, results driven manual therapy. It is a great adjunct to Pelvic Floor PT.

This bodywork is done at the root of the pelvis around the pelvic bones and muscles of the pelvic floor, as well as on top of the abdomen to manipulate the uterus, ovaries, and supportive structures.

For deep healing, I also utilize trauma informed techniques from Somatic Experiencing to help process and heal memories, emotions, sensations, and thoughts arising during healing. “The issues are in the tissues.”

The combination of these techniques allows for healing on many levels, physical and energetic alignment of the pelvis, and sustained change.

The pelvic floor is connected with the root chakra of the body. A strong root is equated with a strong foundation in the world providing for a more centered, joy-filled, vibrant life.  This process is for all women in all stages of her life.
