I’m really looking forward to this! I’m offering another free female embodied pelvic mapping workshop this Thursday 26th March at 6pm UK time called Exploring Pelvic Mapping and Somatic Practices to bring a new dimension to pelvic health

If you have a complicated relationship to your pelvis and you’re exploring ways to change this my workshop might be of interest to you.

My work comes from twenty years working with female bodies, pelvises including my own, and my two of my big learnings are:

- It’s never just about the pelvis, it’s imperative to include the whole in these explorations.
Your pelvis is in relationship to other parts of the body and they work symbiotically together.
The emotional and psychological are intertwined with your physical experience and play a big part in pelvic connection and health.
To explore pelvic landscape is also to explore the nervous system landscape, and while we’re still here in the body don’t forget the hormone system and the breath.
Alongside side this there is what happens outside your body within your society, culture and politics.
Let’s not forget the spiritual - the pelvis is your root, one’s sense of belonging, power and creativity.

- The other learning is that this work is slowwwwww, unapologetically so. This will rub up the wrong way in today’s quick fix, bish bash bosh, hack led culture.
Our cyclical bodies don’t bode well within this rhythm and connection only takes place when there is time to drop into oneself.

So if this resonates with you, or if you’re intruiged to know more do come along this Thursday , I’d love to have you join me.

Last Thursday 20 women joined me in my free workshop on Embodied Female Pelvic wellbeing, thanks so much for coming!

1 hour was not long enough! So much to say, and SO I’m running another bonus session this Thursday, 6pm UK time, which will be all about the somatic practices for pelvic health and connection starting up with pelvic mapping.
If you fancy dipping your top into the unchartered waters of the female pelvis do join me, link can be found in my bio.

Last night I ran my free Embodied Female Pelvic Health & Connection workshop. It’s been a while since I held an online space in this way and good to do so once again.

Over 100 women signed up for this!
The female pelvis is calling.
Thank you all who signed up and for those who made it live.

It was the first time I shared my own pelvis story, the good, the bad and the ugly.
It felt risky and today I am feeling a little vulnerable, but not so much that I wouldn’t tell my story again and again.
When these stories stay in the shadow shame sets in, it allows the continuation of feeling broken.
I’m not willing to be part of that old story.

Who is ready to join me?
My coaching programme has four openings for new clients.
If you would like to explore this further you can book a free consultation call, link in bio.

The Spring Equinox, when the day and night are of equal length.
Here in the Northern Hemisphere we know it as the first day of spring and the remembering that the days are getting longer and warmer, the mornings and evenings are lighter, and oh what a relief!
Ostara or Oestre is the Goddess of Light, bringing fertility with her, connecting to the part of the female cycle of rising Oestrogen, and to the life stage of post menopause and the Second Spring.

When I look at this through the lens of the female pelvis it reminds me that she is in constant relationship with rebirth, no matter where we are in our life cycle we’ll have the imprint of the monthly menstrual cycle, the time of coming out of the bleed moving towards ovulation.

Equally with balance - the light and the dark, yin and yang which is expressed through the menstrual cycle, through our life cycles, and within pelvic embodiment work we actively cultivate the balance, we celebrate the light but also acknowledge and integrate the dark.

Growth is an energy moving from the root- and I see how women harness that energy when in deep relationship with their root, from which they can rise steady and strong.

The image of a wild hare is connected to the Spring Equinox - and I’ll take that as a reminder of the wild and untamed innate nature of the feminine, of the female pelvis, that struggles when overly domesticated by the patriarchy and enlivens when she remembers her natural wildness.

Embodied pelvic connection is a rewinding of the female pelvis, exploring the wild and untamed terrain, the hills and valleys of ebbs and flows and how she is nature and of nature.

Spring Equinox blessings to you.

First up is menstruation and the challenges that can accompany - pain, despair and misery once a month. Along with having to manage a monthly blood flow which increasingly starts at a younger age . It’s a lot for an 11yr old to manage within schools that are, on the whole, not menstrual friendly, and within a culture that isn’t menstrual friendly either.   
This disconnection starts before menarche (when the first period comes). We have a different relationship to our jinitalia. Boys grow up with their jimitalia named and touched from birth, they look down and there it is! This means that their jinitalia is neurologically mapped much more than female pelvis. We grow up with shame and taboo messaging circling around our pelvises. 
We experience medical issues within the pelvis , many of them having a debilitating effect on life - endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, PMDD, UTI’s, incontinence, prolapse, vaginismus, dyspareunia (pain during or after s*x), chronic pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, vulvodynia…..the list goes on.   
Many of these are not that well known or understood. It can take up to 8 years for a diagnosis for endometriosis and that can come after many years of medical misogynistic gaslighting. We’re starting to realise the full extent and impact there is to decades of medical research biasing the male body and not taking into account the cyclical nature of the female body which has repercussions in the diagnosis and treatment within physical and psychological health.

This dedication at the front of Dr Jen Gunter’s book landed with a thud in me. This book is for me, is it for you too?

The statistics around female pelvic awareness and health are shocking and saddening. They break my heart every time I read them.
We can begin to change this paradigm through coming back into relationship and awareness. Please come along to my free workshop to get a taste of how this can be.
Please share with your sista-folk of all ages.
Female pelvic embodiment not only has a positive effect on wellbeing but also increases our capacity for power and creativity. The world needs empowered and creative women, now more than ever.

Lets make everyday a women’s day.
Not a once a year token, but a daily consideration.

I spent part of yesterday exploring my matriarchal line (thanks Ancestry)
It fills me with wonder to explore my women who went before me, to take in their names, where they lived and to get a sense of what their lives were like.
Strong women of the West Country, domestics and servants. Mothers and bakers.
I’m the first in our line to have gone to University.

Giving thanks to these women.
Starting with my mother -
