PELVIC CARE SESSION

Opening to a vibrant and centered connection with the body, feeling rooted and powerful. 

Do you feel disconnected from your body, and specifically your pelvic area, your womb, your vulva, your vagina. Do you have a feeling, that there is something not flowing, that there is more potential, but you don’t know exactly how to reach that. Or do you experience pain during intercourse or when you have your period?

Are you in the preconception phase and would you love support to create the space for new life entering? Or maybe postpartum, not feeling the connection anymore. Experiencing numbness or tension. Did you experience a birthloss or an abortion and do you feel it is not full circle yet? 

There are many signs that your pelvic area needs care.

Every woman can experience:

• More flow in your body and feeling that flow ripples into your life

• More safety as a felt sense 

• More pleasure, both in life and intimacy 

• Less painful periods and more space to surrender

• Enjoying sexuality to a greater experience

• More strength and balance in your root and core

Holistic Pelvic Care

In a Pelvic Care Session, I offer Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC), developed by Tami Lynn Kent, author of the book Wild Feminine. HPC is a holistic practice, working with physical and energetic tools to restore balance and enhance vibrant flow in the pelvic bowl of the female body by working with a woman’s core patterns. The pelvic bowl is the area of the pelvis, holding the female organs like the ovaries and the womb. 

As a HPC practitioner, I have worked with many women in the last few years. Through working with both the physical layers in the pelvic bowl, as well as the energetics of it, I have guided many women to reconnect with their root, their creativity and innate power. Rediscovering the potential that resides in the female body. 

What does a session look like

First session:
We start with an intake, to learn more about your pelvic history and patterns. We then explore your relation with your pelvic bowl and then go through the anatomy of it, as a start of creating awareness and exploring the area. 

The first session continues with exploring boundaries, desires and establishing a safe connection between you and me through working with consent. We sometimes feel a “yes” with our head, but a “no” or “not yet” with our body. The invitation is to listen to these messages and be really honest to ourselves. After this I will work with your pelvis and lower abdomen as preparation for the following session, either on a more physical or energetic level, depending what arises. In the first session we do not do intervaginal work.

Next session:
In the following session (1 or 2 weeks later), we’ll start with a quick check in with your body, how are you feeling, what is present and if something came up for you after the first session. In this session we will work with the vulva and the vagina, unless we agree that a more energetic approach is more suitable for you. And this can of course shift during the session.

As in the first session, we take the time again to settle in with the body, finding safety and comfort, before going any further into bodywork, making sure your whole body can relax.

After some external massage and fascial stretches around the pelvis and the vulva, we’ll assess your pelvic muscles intervaginally. In this I determine where muscles are actively engaging and where they are not during a pelvic squeeze or “Kegel” exercise, making note of internal pelvic trigger points and tension patterns. We’ll continue with the treatment to balance the pelvis through such techniques as intervaginal massage with myofascial release and trigger point work as well as breathwork and visualization tools to assist core physical and energetic balance.

I work mostly from Amsterdam, but but also offer sessions in Friesland Netherlands and sometimes Sintra- Portugal. Reach out to see where I am.
