If you’re having difficulty with squatting (which is excellent for pelvic floor health) effectively, try elevating your heels. This can help shift your weight backwards and help with internal rotation of the hips. Give this a try next time you squat.

I have been asked to be on the panel for the afternoon session of this birthy gathering in Taunton later this month.

Maybe I’ll see you there?

Welcome to this workshop style event to discuss some of the key challenges in birthing in the UK, hopeful visioning for the future and a space to come together and share experiences.

Do you have ADHD? I do. I love learning about the intersection of neurodivergence with the hormonal system and things like hypermobility etc.

I’ve had the honour of successfully supporting women with their fertility using cycle awareness and massage. It’s always wonderful to hear about babies being born from women I’ve worked with ❤️

‘The research team's results suggested that andullation therapy prior to blastocyst transfer in a cryo-cycle improves embryo implantation, most likely due to a reduction in stress (ie, a relaxation effect on patients), a reduction in uterine contractions, and, probably, an enhancement of the blood flow in the abdominal region. These findings provide support for use of andullation as a complementary therapy for ART.’

This is some great info about pelvic floor health for young women!

This one's for the teens and young women out there!!! 💖 I'm SUPER passionate about spreading pelvic health awareness to anyone who'll listen. But the (slight) prob is that most people who are interested in pelvic health ALREADY have problems... And so wouldn't it be nice if we could get this education into the minds of younger women so that they can PREVENT issues down the road?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With that in mind, I created a 2-part video series dedicated to teens and young women. It's also great for parents who want to feel more prepared to help their kids! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In Part 1 (23 minutes), learn the basics of pelvic floor anatomy, the function of the pelvic floor, how to feel the muscles, contract and relax them, and simple activities that require pelvic floor integration.​​​​​​​​
Part 1 Link: https://youtu.be/A6vMWXBpLfE​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In Part 2 (14 minutes), I share REAL TALK with specific tips for pelvic health including:​​​​​​​​
✅how you go to the bathroom matters​​​​​​​​
✅why you shouldn't push to p**p or pee​​​​​​​​
✅what to eat and drink to help with digestion​​​​​​​​
✅why you need to TELL SOMEONE if you have pain using tampons​​​​​​​​
✅why it's good to listen to your body when you're having your period​​​​​​​​
✅what your va**na ACTUALLY looks like (and where it's located)​​​​​​​​
✅why you should avoid putting chemicals in or on your body​​​​​​​​
✅why you don't need to follow the crowd!​​​​​​​​
Part 2 Link: https://youtu.be/0PuWHC_dsCs​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My dream is to get this info out to young women so that they can learn things now that'll help them prevent problems in the future. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you know a high school teacher who might want to recommend these videos to students, or a pediatrician who might want them as a resource for their older patients, feel free to share them as well. Let's spread pelvic health awareness TOGETHER! 💖

This video is a great way to explain fascia and how it is interconnected with our muscles.

I'm currently deeply immersed in furthering my understanding of biomechanics and how to work with the body to improve it's function and relieve symptoms of pain, pelvic floor issues, prolapse etc. I look forward to sharing this knowledge with you soon!

Ahh, how lovely to be able to facilitate mother blessing ceremonies again ❤️

We adorned the mother with a flower crown made for her whilst sharing birth and parenting stories in circle, massaged her, shared gifts and prayers for the birth, and made her feel like a Queen.

Together we cried, laughed and wove some very beautiful birthing magic.
