Working with me is different than working with a physical therapist. Physical therapists focus largely on the biomechanics- tight muscles and pelvic tilt, for example. My work focuses more heavily on the interdependence of the emotional and physical bodies. When we're in session together, we're tracking the stories, memories, emotions, and sensations that your body is experiencing. 

​

I explore how your biomechanics, biochemistry, emotions, and scar tissue may be affecting your pelvic health. Below are a few of the modalities I may bring into each session.

​

Pelvic Mapping

Pelvic mapping is a useful tool in resolving pelvic pain resulting from birth, sexual trauma, and surgery. We bring awareness to the pelvis through mindful touch and secure presence to create space for realignment of the tissues and find resolutions for issues including:

Holistic Pelvic Care (TM)

I offer the work pioneered by Tami Lynn Kent, PT, author of Wild Feminine and Mothering From Your Center. This work if often interwoven with pelvic mapping sessions, or can be its own stand alone session. HPC ties together energetic work with physical touch. I especially value this work for integrating birth experiences, miscarriages, abortions, and surgical procedures such as hysterectomies. 

 

Holistic Treatment of the Pregnant and Postpartum Bodies (TM)

The pelvis must move and open profoundly during birth. For many birthing parents, the pelvis remains in this 'open birthing pattern' long after birth. This work, originating from Lynn Schulte, PT, is effective in reducing pelvic girdle pain and bringing pelvic and abdominal muscles back online after birth. 

​

Somatic Experiencing (TM)

As part of any pelvic mapping session, we will also employ aspects from Somatic Experiencing to track, sequence through, and discharge emotion or trauma. This body-based approach to trauma resolution builds resiliency in the nervous system and increases interoception. I also offer stand alone SE sessions.

Pelvic Steaming

Additionally, we may find pelvic steaming to be helpful for your menstrual health, fertility, and pelvic health (also known as vaginal or yoni steaming). Pelvic steaming has been shown to improve postpartum healing, balance menstrual cycles, reduce cramping, and address ongoing yeast of BV infections.
