Since diving deep into internal pelvic release and pelvic floor acupuncture, I have been on a significant research journey. What I am finding continues to validate what I see clinically every day and what so many of you are living in your bodies.

I love that western medicine is beginning to look outside its traditional toolkit to treat chronic pelvic pain. The willingness to explore new modalities is long overdue, and it matters.

In March 2026, the American Urogynecologic Society published its first-ever consensus guidelines on pelvic floor botulinum toxin injections for refractory myofascial pelvic pain.

This is significant. The medical community is now formally acknowledging what many women with endometriosis and adenomyosis have always known: surgery does not end the pain. The pelvic floor is a critical piece of the puzzle that western gynaecology has been slow to address.

The guidelines identify who qualifies for pelvic Botox: women with documented pelvic floor hypertonicity and myofascial trigger points who have already tried and not responded to first-line therapies. The effect is temporary, lasting three to six months per injection. It is off-label. It carries a two-week onset. And it requires a specialist.

Internal pelvic release and pelvic floor acupuncture are not competing with this. They are the non-invasive, sustainable, repeatable version of the same intervention — addressing the hypertonic pelvic floor, deactivating trigger points, and downregulating the nervous system that is driving the pain cycle.

You do not always need to start with Botox. You may not need it at all.

Understand your options. Start with the least invasive approach first.

It is genuinely encouraging to see a rise in new treatments and different options available to patients. When medicine expands its view, women with chronic pelvic pain are the ones who benefit.

Your eggs contain over 100,000 mitochondria each & up to 600,000 in a fully mature oocyte. 🥚

They are the most energetically complex cells in the human body. And are the only cells that carry mitochondria forward to the next generation.

Acupuncture is energy medicine and when we talk about energy in Chinese medicine, we are talking about Qi. The animating force that drives every biological process in your body.

On a cellular level, Qi is mitochondria. It is ATP. It is the energetic life force that determines your follicle quality, your egg quality, and ultimately the quality of the embryo your egg becomes.

More energy in the follicle. Better quality Eggs!

What's awesome is we now have peer-reviewed research confirming what Chinese medicine has always understood!

June 21st, the world tips into its longest dark.
And we gather to meet it...

The Winter Solstice is the great hinge of the year. The moment when darkness reaches its fullness and, in that very fullness, begins to yield. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter belongs to the Kidneys the root of your vitality, the keeper of your Jing. It is the season of the deepest Yin.

June 21st we honour the medicine of the Solstice.
✨ Yin Yoga with Dr. Amanda Waaldyk
We begin in the body. Dr. Amanda will guide you through a slow, intentional Yin Yoga practice. The practice will take you, to the places where you've been holding without knowing. This is not a practice of effort. It is a practice of meeting. Of letting yourself be held by the earth while the earth tips toward its darkest point.
Will explore the interplay of light and shadow within your own body, the brightness you carry even in your most contracted places, the darkness that holds information.
✨ Group Acupuncture with Dr. Chantel
will guide you through a gentle group acupuncture session designed to anchor the Kidney meridian, nourish your Yin, and attune your nervous system to the rhythm of the season. Press tack seeds placed with care, to Acu points of light within the dark to help your body remember its own intelligence.
This is your invitation to stop outrunning the dark. To let the longest night be long.

The energetics of Adenomyosis.

The sacrificing of self for others
Not having healthy boundaries
Having no boundaries
A yes person
People pleasing
The Fixer
Taking on others emotions - the empath
High Achiever
Keeping Busy

Your womb is your energetic boundary!
Those with Adenomyosis do you recognise yourself in any of these roles?

This is one of the most under-discussed findings in endometriosis research.
A 2023 pilot study published in Archives of Gynaecology and Obstetrics examined 15 women with endometriosis and chronic cyclical pelvic pain. In 80% of them, myofascial trigger points were identified by examination in the pelvic floor. The most frequently affected muscle was the puborectalis, a deep muscle that wraps around the re**um and forms the sling at the base of your pelvis.
These are not muscle knots from exercise. These are hardened, hypersensitive nodules that form when the body holds chronic pain, guards against disease, and braces against trauma. They refer pain. They disrupt bowel function. They can make in*******se unpleasurable and they persist long after excision surgery.
Your excision surgeon addresses the lesions. Your gynaecologist looks at your imaging. But no one is assessing what the pelvic floor is doing under the pressure of years of disease.
That is where pelvic internal release work and pelvic floor acupuncture can offer a different approach.

Have your tried Pelvic Therapy?

Did you know, I know offer both forms of therapy. Internal pelvic release and pelvic floor acupuncture.

Your womb is sacred. She is your boundary. 🌸

And when we chronically overgive, overperform, and move outside our edges or boundaries, she speaks.

Adenomyosis is one of the ways she does.

This is a condition where the lining of the uterus invades and migrates into the muscle wall of the womb the myometrium. With every cycle, that tissue thickens, bleeds, and breaks down within the muscle itself. Over time, the womb becomes enlarged, inflamed, and what scans describe as "bulky." But what no scan can capture is the energetic truth of what's happening.

In Chinese Medicine, the uterus is the Bao Gong the Palace of the Child. She holds life. She holds memory. She holds every cycle of giving and receiving, of contracting and releasing, of yes and no.

When we consistently override her, pushing through pain, neglecting rest, carrying more than is ours to carry, living from obligation rather than truth, the Liver Qi stagnates, Blood becomes static, and the womb's architecture begins to change.

Adenomyosis, from an energetic lens, is often a condition of chronic boundary dissolution.

The latest research reflects this in biology:

A 2025 systematic review confirmed adenomyosis disrupts the uterine junctional zone, the critical boundary layer between the endometrium and the myometrium. This is where your boundaries become blurred!

Current research shows average diagnostic delays of 10–11 years, during which symptoms are often dismissed as "just bad periods.” Yet your womb is communicating with you through your 5th Vital sign your period.

There are still no approved drug therapies for adenomyosis. Which is exactly why an integrative, whole-body approach addressing the biology AND the energetics matters so much.

Signs your womb may be speaking:

👉🏻Debilitating, flooding or clotty periods
👉🏻A uterus described as "bulky" on scan
👉🏻Deep pelvic or lower back pain, cyclical or constant
👉🏻Recurrent miscarriage or implantation failure
👉🏻Painful s*x
👉🏻Constant fatigue
👉🏻Bloating and bowel changes with your cycle
👉🏻Frequent urination, pressure in bladder.

For two decades I have been sitting across from women who were told their pain was normal, their intuition was wrong, and their bodies were a mystery.

I’ve held space for over 19,000 patients and 67,000 appointments not as a number but as a privilege.

Some of you have known me through Angea, or as Angea 😉Some of you are new here. Hi!!👋 Either way, I want to properly introduce myself, because something is shifting and I want you to be part of it.

Hi, I am Dr. Amanda. Medicine Woman.

Doctor of Chinese Medicine. Endo warrior. Mumma. Shamanic Womb Healer. Fertility Acupuncturist. Herbalist. Pelvic acupuncturist. Adenomyosis sister………………..
And someone who has always believed that advocating and answers are worth looking for when it comes to your health.

For twenty years I have bridged the gap between eastern and western medicine, not because it was a trend, but because neither system alone was enough for the women walking through my door.

Complex cases are my speciality. To the women who have tried everything, who have seen every specialist, collected every diagnosis, exhausted all options and still feel like something is missing. You've have come to the right place.

My expertise lies in uncovering what others miss, offering a level of integrative care most women have never received. If you feel like you’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed or told there is nothing wrong. This is where that changes.

This community is everything to me. Your questions, your stories, your courage in advocating for yourselves, that is what keeps this work alive and drives me even more 🤍

I've have had so many of you ask if I work online. The answer is yes. Not just here in Australia, but worldwide. Wherever you are, if you are ready to go deeper, I’m here.
I am stepping fully into my name now. Dr. Amanda. And I am so glad you are here. My new website is launching May………. I can’t wait to share the next evolution from Angea to Dr Amanda - Medicine Woman 🤍

The link between hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation, and endometriosis is one of the most important and underrecognised conversations in women's health right now. The research is emerging 🙌🏻🙌🏻, and the way we are treating endometriosis is changing. In my experience treating women with endo over the two decades, and navigating my own stage 4 diagnosis, this triad changes everything about how we approach pain, surgery, and recovery.

WILD HEARTS

A Soul Rhythm Movement & Dance Journey for Women

You've been holding it for so long!!!
It's time to put it down just for an afternoon and remember who you are beneath it all.

Wild Hearts is a 3hour soul-nourishing journey for women who are ready to stop running on empty and start feeling alive again. A sacred afternoon of cacao ceremony, live drumming, meditation, creative expression, and soul-moving dance! 💃🏻 💃🏻💃🏻

This is your permission slip.
This is for you if…
•You can't remember the last time you did something just for you
•You give and give and quietly wonder where you went
•Your body feels more like a machine than a home
•You crave connection but life keeps getting in the way
•You know there's joy inside you somewhere, and you're ready to find it again
•You're a woman in your 30s, 40s or 50s who is done waiting for the right moment
•Your heart & body are craving dancing their hearts out ❤️

What awaits you

The afternoon begins with a sacred cacao ceremony, the ancient heart-opener held together with live drumming that calls your nervous system out of survival mode and back into your body. Feel the warmth of the cacao settle into your chest. Feel the drum move through you. Feel the room full of women, all here for the same reason. You are not alone in this.

From there, & Amanda guide you deeper through meditation, through creative expression, through the gentle unravelling of everything you've been carrying. There is nothing to perform here. Nothing to get right. Only the invitation to feel.

Then the music drops.

DJ Marta from takes you on a live house music journey that is pure, unapologetic joy. This is where your wild heart wakes up. Where your body remembers it knows how to be free. Where you stop thinking and start moving and everything that felt heavy begins to lift.

The afternoon closes in the most beautiful way creating a mandala together, sipping herbal tea, sharing fresh fruit, and resting in the glow of what you've just given yourself.

Early Bird $125 Ends 8th May, Full price $140

Pedunculated fibroid & fertility.

This presentation came in today, a fibroid with its own vascular supply distorting the uterine cavity, adenomyosis of the posterior myometrium, and suspected endo.

Your period is your fifth vital sign. A shift in your cycle, your bleed, or pain is always a reminder your body is communicating with you.

If you are navigating changes in your cycle, a pelvic ultrasound is always a great place to see what is going on in your womb space!

We are currently taking bookings for May!
