WOMB AND PELVIC BALANCING
Deep care, connection and healing
YOUR PELVIS AND HER ORGANS DESERVE LOVING CARE.
Throughout our lives, we depend on our pelvis as the foundation of our physical body, a place that houses our sense of self, safety and vulnerability, and the space from which we create.
Yet it is one of the most poorly understood regions of our body by care providers. Women often go years with unresolved symptoms, incorrect diagnoses and poor pelvic literacy.
Womb and Pelvic Balancing is a nurturing bodywork offering that listens to your pelvic experiences throughout your lifespan and uses touch guided by tissue listening and comprehensive anatomical knowledge to help bring your pelvis and her organs back into balance.
Womb and Pelvic Balancing sees and supports all of you - body, mind, emotions and energy - holding you in a way that realigns your womb and pelvis, allows you and your tissues to be heard and creates space for comfort, ease and release.
You can benefit from womb and pelvic balancing if
you are EXPERIENCING:
A desire to nourish and care for your whole self
Pelvic, back or abdominal pain or discomfort
Reflux, nausea, constipation or changes in bowel or bladder patterns
Tension in the neck, throat, jaw or head
Reduced mobility through the hips or pelvis
A bulging or lumpy feeling in your sacrum, tailbone pain or sitting bone pain
Difficulty conceiving, with or without fertility treatment
Inflammatory conditions of the pelvis including endometriosis, adenomyosis and PMOS
Long-term abnormal or new changes to your menstrual cycle and bleed pattern (irregular, heavy, painful, dark or clotted periods)
Feeling not quite like yourself
Unsure of what happened to your body during your birth or other pelvic or abdominal surgery
Feeling like your pelvis or body are bracing, protecting or disconnecting
What’s involved in a WOMB AND PELVIC BALANCING session:
A Womb and Pelvic Balancing session is two hours of care focused on you. This usually involves:
A conversation about your current experience and any history that may relate to it
A discussion on relevant anatomy to support your knowledge of your body’s harmony and balance
Gentle bodywork techniques on soft tissue and bones of the neck, chest, back, abdomen and pelvis to release tension and bring balance into muscles, ligaments, fascia, scars and joints
Respectful return of pelvic and abdominal organs into their normal positions, including the uterus, bladder, intestines, stomach and liver
Release of any abdominal or pelvic scars
Gentle closure of the pelvic bones to resolve patterns held in the body, mind and nervous system
Guidance on how to continue with self-care and further balancing work at home

MEET YOUR Practitioner
I’m an Internal Pelvic Release Work practitioner, Registered Nurse, Childbirth Educator, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and mother to two beautiful young children.
After 16 years as a Registered Nurse and Clinical Nurse Educator in Australia and abroad, I noticed a troubling trend in the health practitioner-patient relationship concerning women’s health. Many women are being advised not to trust or understand their bodies, losing touch with their intuition when seeking answers to their physical, mental, and emotional signs and symptoms. With my background in supporting women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond as a Yoga teacher and Childbirth Educator, I wanted to offer my community more.
I offer knowledgeable, empowering and nurturing care with bodywork and release techniques that realign, reconnect and heal. I believe you are the expert of your own body-mind-energy, and I am here to help you reconnect with that wisdom and find the answers that modern medicine often overlooks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
The intention and ways of working with the body in a bodywork session is different to physiotherapy and osteopathy, as I have a significant focus on exploring your experience, providing education and using intuitive touch and listening to tissues to relieve discomfort and return balance to your whole self.
If you are likely to benefit from the care of a physiotherapist or osteopath, I will always refer you on.
-
Release of scars is covered in all Bodywork sessions, so if you would like a holistic approach that sees and care for all of you, book Bodywork.
If your concerns and intentions for care are just for your scar, book a Scar Release Work session.
If you’re still not sure, please get in touch with me.
-
The number of sessions is dependent on you as an individual, what we discover together in your body, and your response to the care session. As a general rule, most women require 2-3 sessions, 2-6 weeks apart, for optimal benefits to be achieved.
If you are trying to conceive or are undergoing fertility treatment, sessions in the week after your period and pre-retrieval or transfer are recommended.
-
Please just come as you are, no preparation is necessary.
-
After care is important for Womb and Pelvic Balancing. Your tissues will take some time to settle into balance, so plan to take it easy for 48-72 hours after your care session. Plan to return to a quiet space where you can integrate what you’ve learnt about your body. A warm bath and heat packs can feel really nurturing. A high-protein meal can help nourish the tissues you’ve worked with.
-
It’s ideal to have bodywork without little people present, so you can focus on yourself and be uninterrupted. If you need your baby or child present, please have a carer with you to entertain them.
-
Yes! If you haven’t had the time to listen to your body, mind, emotions and energy after pregnancy and birth, this care is for you. No matter how old your children are.
