What types of pelvic symptoms may be addressed by pelvic care?
​
Painful intercourse,urinary leakage and prolapse,pelvic muscle weakness,hypertonic pelvic floor,pelvic pain, and vaginismus.
Women have also sought treatment (in conjunction with a counsellor or related therapist ) to recover their body from sexual abuse.
Additionally women have received pelvic work for birth trauma, grief and loss, and preparing for conception .
HPC can rekindle the awareness for re-connecting and staying connected to the presence of the female pelvis and the energies contained within this dynamic space.
Women also benefit from receiving annual pelvic tune-ups as a part of their general wellness plan, as support for life changes and menopause, or when preparing for pregnancy and healing from birth experiences.

Can I receive just the energetic tools & external bodywork without receiving the intravaginal assessment and massage?
Yes. There is much power and healing available when working with the energy of the pelvic bowl. Through restorative breath work, visualisation and bringing in the energy of your intention, these tools have the ability to deepen connection with in the pelvic space ,bring about deep transformative shifts and enhance the flow of pelvic organ energy.
What are energy tools /energy medicine?
Our bodies are not just physical structures. They are also made up of subtle energy fields. These energy fields can become imbalanced or disrupted, which in time lead to health problems.Energy medicine recognises the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. It understands that emotional and mental factors can influence the flow of energy in the body, and therefore, affect our health.
What effects will I notice after a HPC session?
Women describe immediate effects of a new internal awareness, connection and sense of well-being in the core. The pelvis serves a woman in many ways and yet receives little direct care. Women also describe feeling more relaxed and centered, a greater sense of support, and increased strength in their pelvic muscles. On a clinical level, the internal massage increases blood and energy flow, revitalizing a woman’s root and enhancing her overall pelvic health.
Is pelvic massage painful?
The pelvic massage is gentle and respectful, following the lead of the body. It should never hurt and the response of a woman’s body guides the depth and direction of the hands-on work. Though HPC is gentle, the effects are profound and women often notice a change with even one session. Birth Events
What if I’m pregnant?
Internal pelvic work is not done during pregnancy, but visualization and energetic tools assist pelvic connection and balance during pregnancy as preparation for childbirth.
When should I come in after childbirth?
The process of healing after childbirth is greatly assisted by HPC, and any imbalances that may have occurred during pregnancy or birth can be addressed early on. Six weeks post-partum is the time to begin. Likewise, any trauma that occurred during the birth process is assisted by bodywork on the pelvis. Women describe feeling more peaceful even with one treatment session, easing their transition to motherhood. If a woman is struggling after a traumatic birth experience, external hands-on work can also be initiated immediately to calm her post-partum body and spirit.
What if I have a Caesarean birth?
A Caesarean birth will benefit from HPC as well, with fascial work directly to the Caesarean mark and internal work to address the imbalances caused by any prolonged vaginal birth attempt. Again, if there is any disappointment that arises from a Caesarean, bodywork lightens this effect and allows the mother to process the birth event.
What does HPC offer for a miscarriage?
HPC is profoundly comforting to the body and restores a tangible sense of hope in the root. Women describe feeling reconnected to their bodies and also more aware of the spirit that touched their womb.
Infertility ?
Hands-on pelvic care provides gentle nourishment to the womb space during a time that can otherwise create a barrier of frustration and grief between a woman and her body. Women describe a greater sense of well-being and renewed trust in their own creative centre.
