Women's Health
I teach a unique Pelvic Floor Dysfunction rehabilitation course called Restore Your Pelvic Power. This is a live, online 6 week course in which I support women to transform their relationship with their pelvic floor for long term health and resilience. The course empowers women to step out of silent shame and isolation and reclaim control over their body
Over 52% of women over the age of 50 have some pelvic floor dysfunction and, having been through many years of my own isolation, shame, discomfort and treatment, I understand and deeply empathise. I really do know how you feel! Whilst huge progress has been made around raising awareness of menopausal issues, problems like incontinence and prolapse are still very much taboo subjects.
Common myths and widely held beliefs around this subject include:
- Kegel type pelvic floor squeezes will solve the problem when in fact they could be making things worse
- Only women who have given birth have pelvic floor issues
- Women who gave birth via Caesarean Section do not have pelvic floor problems
Restore your Pelvic Power
Live, online course to transform your relationship with your pelvis
‘Pelvic Health is the source of Well Being’
The biggest myth is that pelvic floor issues only affect older women. Sadly, the truth is that the epidemic of pelvic floor dysfunction is trending younger and younger with many more women in their 20s and 30s and even teenagers struggling with issues such as incontinence, painful sex, intermittent periods etc.
Women struggling with these issues often feel unsupported and embarrassed and are sick of being told ‘it’s your age’ or you should just ‘put up with it’?
This course is a culmination of years of research, learning and experience in many fields. I draw on my insight and expertise in how body and mind interact, along with knowledge of how trauma manifests in the body and personal experience of trauma therapy including Internal Family Systems, inherited trauma and women’s internal barriers. I also bring the wisdom and understanding I have gained through the lived experience of my own painful journey of pelvic dysfunction and the stigmas, taboos and lack of support women currently receive.
This course will give you practical, physical exercises and tools to help heal and strengthen your pelvic floor, release trauma and holding patterns, relieve your symptoms and build long term health and resilience, taking you from:
From Confusion and Misinformation to Knowledge and Clarity
From Isolation and Shame to Support and Empowerment
From Feeling Ignored and Dismissed to Being properly Seen & Heard
From Feeling at the mercy of a faltering healthcare system to Feeling resourced & knowing how to help yourself
From Anxiety to Confidence
From Feeling betrayed or let down by your body to Having a positive, empowered relationship with your body
