Pelvic Release Initial form

    The pelvic floor is a combination of multidimensional and directional layers of muscle, fascia and ligaments that come together in a complex way to enable holding of the body, maintaining intra-abdominal pressure and housing of the urinary, gastro-intestinal and reproductive organs. 

    These soft tissues are given support and anchoring by the bony structures of the pelvis and enable flexion of the sacrum and coccyx. As in any other area of the body, these soft tissues can hold tension and can be released with touch, pressure, breath and intension. As woman, we are gifted easier access to these arrangements to enable this release and work to establish tone, flexibility and tissues that 'sigh' to let babies through.
    ​
    Based on the work, teachings and wisdoms of Fiona Hallinan, Jenny Blyth and Andrea Lopez, and coupled with my midwifery, doula and bodywork knowledge,  I am available to work with you to connect you to your body and together explorer the  possibilities of potential space for a better birth.
    The purpose of this work is:
    • to prepare for conception
    • to prepare for birth by reducing tension & congestion and increasing flow & elasticity
    • to explore and understand the anatomy to help make sense of some of the 'whys'
    • to heal pelvic trauma

    Things to know:
    • This work involves accessing your internal pelvic space to help create more awareness of your space in preparation for and recovery from birth. This is performed mindfully and with continuous body and conscious consent  
    • There may be holding of the body to invite spaces to sigh
    • Sometimes the touch is gentle and may feel like nothing is being done
    • Often touch can feel stronger as body reorganisation is triggered
    • Your conscious involvement is encouraged to stay connected
    • We are not fixing issues, but opening pathways for your body to find better balance
    • Allow at least 48hrs for tissues to adjust and avoid any other bodywork in this time
