March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛 Each week we are continuing to highlight various disciplines that play a key role in your care team.

This week, Alex from Feel Good Nutrition Lab, talks all things endo from a dietary and nutrition perspective 🌿
Endometriosis is a complex, whole-body condition — not just a reproductive one.

While nutrition isn’t a cure, research suggests inflammation, hormone signaling, gut health, and blood sugar balance may all influence symptoms.

Instead of starting with restriction, I encourage starting with nourishment:
- Supporting omega-3 intake.
- Prioritizing mineral status.
- Adding phytonutrient-rich plants.
- Balancing blood sugar.Foundations first. Personalization always.

This post is part of a collaborative series for Endometriosis Awareness Month — because pelvic health and whole-body nutrition deserve to be part of the same conversation.

I love using this visual analogy for my clients that have endo and chronic pelvic pain.

Chronic tissue tension one place in the body will eventually lead to tissue tension in other places throughout the body through compensatory patterns and upregulation.

Pelvic floor therapy includes individualized manual therapy such as visceral mobilization, myofascial release and trigger point release to improve mobility of muscles, nerves, organs, fascia etc that are affected by these inflammatory endo adhesions.

Got abdominal pain and constipation? Let’s improve mobility of your colon!

Bladder pain? Let’s soften the detrusor and peri-urethral muscles.

Pelvic pain? Let’s look at your diaphragm and adductors. The list goes on.

I hope this analogy helps women to better understand that their pain is real, or helps other providers to understand the systemic effects of this inflammatory disease.

Endo requires and deserves a multidisciplinary approach. If this sounds like you, or you have more questions, drop a comment or DM! I’d love to discuss further 🫶🏼

Endo and your gut: A collaborative approach 🤍

This week we are featuring Kira of Sun Moon Acupuncture, where she discusses how acupuncture and Chinese medicine support women with endometriosis.

A pelvic floor PT/OT and an acupuncturist can work together to support gut heath and pelvic health especially when there is chronic inflammation and scar tissue inside the body.

This month we are emphasizing the systemic effects that endo has on the body, and how other disciplines in the healthcare world play a key role in supporting the body as a whole to make a real difference.

Collaboration is key. 🤍

Kira is located in Princeton, NJ and specializes in women’s health, fertility, sleep, digestion and pain through acupuncture and herbal formulas.

March is endometriosis awareness month.

Endo is a chronic inflammatory disease where uterine like tissue grows outside of the uterus causing pelvic pain, bowel and bladder changes.

To this day, there still is no cure for endo.

There is an entire endometriosis community that will continue to educate, advocate and fight for women that have this disease to get earlier diagnosis and better care.

If you have questions or think you may have endometriosis please reach out to your doctor or a pelvic floor therapist. There is support 💛

Stay tuned for all things endometriosis education this month.

Some books meet us exactly where we are—without asking us to change first.

Which book has shaped how you think about self-care or embodiment?

Here a few favorites that explore comfort, embodiment, and self-acceptance:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 — short reflections that normalize rest and gentleness
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 — grounding rituals rooted in intuition and nature
𝗬𝗼𝗸𝗲: 𝗠𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 — an honest exploration of body trust and belonging
Sometimes learning pleasure and care starts with language that feels safe to hold.

I am so excited to announce the launch of this Women’s circle with 🌞

We discussed hosting a circle like this years back when we first met, and this year all the stars aligned. Planning has been filled with intention, compassion and many matcha dates, and we can’t wait for this series to unfold for you.

This space is for women- whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, chronic pain, hormonal shifts, motherhood or menopause.

Over three gatherings, we’ll gently explore the connection between body, nervous system, pelvic bowl and pleasure — not as performance, not as pressure, but as a remembering. A returning. A softening into yourself.

Together we’ll move, create, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that so often get quieted by stress, pain, expectations, and daily life.

We will explore a variety of topics such as:
✨ Safety in the body
✨ Nervous system nourishment
✨ Pleasure without agenda
✨ Connection without comparison

No experience needed. No “right way” to show up. Just your body, exactly as it is.

If you’ve been craving space to slow down, feel, and reconnect — this circle is for you.

Spots are limited. Reserve your spot with the link in my bio!

The 3 gatherings will take place at Mind Body Pelvis on the following dates from 10am-1130am.

✨March 27: Restore safety
✨April 17: Reconnect with trust
✨May 8: Integrate lasting curiosity

We can’t wait to have you 🤍

Gratitude doesn’t have to be spoken.
The body understands movement, rhythm, pressure, breath, vibration, and temperature.
Shaking, dancing, humming, intentional touch, self-massage, squeezing the hands, or slow deep breathing are all ways of acknowledging the body’s effort to protect and heal. These practices don’t require stillness or perfection—just presence.
When we thank the body somatically, we reinforce safety and trust. Healing often happens not through control, but through listening and responding.

Which somatic practice feels most accessible right now? Comment with one you already use—or share this post with someone who needs permission to move instead of “relax.”

What’s one word you’ve used to describe pain that might feel too harsh? Share a gentler replacement—or save this post as a reminder to check your inner dialogue.

Pain often arrives with fear already attached.

The words we use internally—tight, broken, wrong, damaged—can amplify threat and keep the nervous system on high alert.

What happens when pain is described more neutrally?

Words like sensation, intensity, pressure, warmth, or discomfort create space. They allow the body to feel observed rather than attacked.

Language matters because the body listens. When we soften how we speak to ourselves, we reduce fight-or-flight responses and create more safety around physical sensations.

Safety is often the first step toward healing.

Curiosity creates connection. Safety creates pleasure.

If you’ve never explored sensation without a goal, what feels hardest about that idea? Comment with one word that comes up—or save this post to revisit later.

Pleasure mapping is not about achieving a result or “doing it right.”
It’s about learning how your body responds when you approach it with curiosity instead of judgment.

Using different textures, pressures, temperatures, or oils allows you to notice what feels neutral, pleasant, surprising, or sensitive—without needing to label anything as good or bad. The goal is awareness, not outcome.

Over time, this kind of exploration builds a clearer internal map of sensation. That awareness can strengthen your relationship with your own body and make it easier to communicate needs, preferences, and boundaries with a partner—without guessing or apologizing.

Curiosity creates connection. Safety creates pleasure.
