As above, so below…
On about Day 15 of embryonic development, two tiny depressions form side by side.
One will become the opening of the mouth.
The other will become the opening of the reproductive system.
How wild (and beautiful) is that connection?
This artwork by the incredibly talented captures those early similarities so well.
As we grow, those connections don’t disappear:
The vagus nerve (a key player in our stress + nervous system regulation) connects the cervix to the voice box.
A web of fascia links the jaw to the pelvic bowl.
So when we talk about pelvic health, we’re not just talking about “down there.”
We’re talking about the whole system… voice, jaw, nervous system, pelvis… all communicating with each other.
Your pelvic floor is part of a much bigger story.💜
