Pelvic Care
Bodywork
Your nervous System cannot fully relax where the pelvis has learned to Stay guarded.
Sexological bodywork pelvic health care for self-identified women by a woman.
I support women in creating the conditions necessary for their body to no longer need to protect itself.
Dear Women,
Your pelvis holds a plethora of memories AND possibilities for pleasure that may be guarded by centuries of women bracing for impact & your health concerns dismissed by the medical system.
If you are currently experiencing pain, numbness, disconnection from your pelvis, sexual dysfunctions et al, your pelvis may be manifesting symptoms of a deeper call for care.
Some constellations of symptoms are:
Endometriosis
Cysts/fibroids
Anorgasmia
Inflammation - vulvodenia, pudendal neuralgia
Pelvic tension or laxity
Infertility
Intense peri/menopause symptoms
Digestive issues
TMJ- pelvis connected to the jaw
low libido
hormonal imbalances
And so much more!
I do bodywork that intelligently cares for the whole person and supports you to relax to reconnect your pelvis to the web of intelligence of the other systems in your body- digestive, respiratory, muscular & myofascial network & nervous system.
What a Session looks like
Hands on and hands In pelvic health care
This work is unique and works really well for some women. We always begin with a consultation to Assess if this Deep Healing work is a good fit for both of us.
Structure of session:
Communication
Abdominal, lymph or deep front line myofascial release massage
Internal Pelvic work (optional based on assessment of needs & consent)
Pleasure mapping (optional)
Space to integrate after
Many women arrive here after being told:
“Everything looks normal”
“Just take this painkiller”
“Do your Kegels”
But a body that has learned to protect itself, won’t soften because we told it to.
Every session is slow, spacious & collaborative-approximately 2.5 hrs.
Guided by your body’s responses- not a protocol.

Healing happens when the right conditions are carefully curated for your Unique Situation.
Turiya Wild Rose
Relationship & Sacred Sexuality Expert.
Applied Sexology.
My work blends bodywork, internal pelvic health, myofascial release, nervous system regulation, breathwork & somatic therapy.
I don’t believe that tissues soften and become more available for pleasure & health through force or numbing with pain meds. I believe -and clients have testified - that healing happens, tissues soften, pelvic floor muscles relax, pleasure expands when the body can rest in the parasympathetic response of safety & slowness.
My work is informed by years of professional research with clients, professional trainings and colorful lived experiences . After being sex traffikked as a youth and continueing on in sex work as an early adult, I spent years in relationship dynamics shaped by nervous system activation being mistaken for “chemistry” resulting in sexual intensity (or what client’s will identify as “great sex”) Yet, the other areas of relating were toxic and dysfunctional leading to burnout.
My radiance & vitality (and that of my client’s) was restored with a deliberate focus on embodying the slowed down AND wild erotic currents without losing desire.
My facilitation is a unique blend of erotic literacy, erotic embodiment, relational awareness, science and subtle mysticism .
LIFE!
*Your overall health improves
*Energy levels improve
*Relationship (s) improve
* More energy for playfulness
*Pleasure expands into something the whole body can feel nourished by, instead of drained
A woman that I was working with had already received pelvic treatments from another practitioner and her partner also was supporting her.
She had endometriosis.
She understood her diagnosis, had done the research, yet her body was still bracing for impact.
As we worked together, something shifted.
Not because I forced her muscles to relax, but because her body finally experienced enough safety to soften.
That moment wasn’t just about releasing tension, it was about reconnecting with a part of herself that had been hidden in contraction for years.
This is why I curate the container (the conditions) for the healing to happen.
You are your own healer & your inner healing intelligence guides the process.
These reports are common experiences working with me.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Not at all.
Many women come to see me because they feel disconnected from their body, experience reduced pleasure, have difficulty relaxing their pelvic floor, or simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right.
Pelvic health is about restoring overall health & Connection to your body.
-
This is one of the most common concerns that I hear. Internal pelvic health is never expected or required. We move at the pace of your nervous system, not a treatmnet plan.
Every step is explained beforehand, the work we do is decided beforehand, you can revoke consent anytime, but we never add anything in.
Many women choose to begin with education, external bodywork, counselling, & nervous system somatic therapy before considering internal therapy.
-
Yes. I maintain a “we’ll try and find out”
It’s incredibly common for women to experience tension, pain, painful intimacy, reduced sensation or pelvic dysfunction despite being told that everything looks normal.
Your symptoms are real.
Together, we will explore how your muscles, memories, fascia, breathing patterns, scar tissue and lived experiences may be contributing to what you are feeling.
-
No.
Women seek support for many reasons, including:
*painful intimacy
Endometriosis
PCOS
Pelvic floor tension
Intense Peri/Post Menopausal symptoms
Low libido
Difficulty experiencing pleasure or orgasm
Bladder or bowel dysfunction
Pelvic organ prolapse
Feeling disconnected from their womb

My work complements- but is different from physiotherapy.
I integrate evidence informed pelvic health, bodywork, nervous system regulation, myofascial release, womb care & activation, pleasure mapping & trauma informed care.
The goal is not simply stronger muscles- it’s integrated care that is curated for your own healing intelligence to respond.
-
No. It should not be.
Sometimes there are tender spots from holding tension for so long or nerve inflammation. We go slow, nothing is forced and so, often the tissues, muscles, inflammation responds gently.
-
YES!
When tension releases, nervous system slows down, tissues can soften and expand- able to circulate more blood & engorgement, performance decreases, myofascial network unwinds, muscles relax, sex can become alive & nourishing.
-
That depends.
Every body is different.
Many women experience a shift, after just one session. However, in the spirit of titration and trauma informed care, healing requires time & integration to be sustainable.
3-6 sessions are recommended & offerred as a package.
-
If you’ve sought support and still experience symptoms or that something feels “off”, this is for you.
If you desire to feel activated (energy pulsing through your pelvis & womb), then this is for you!

I have a sliding scale available on an honorary system. That those who can afford the full treatment cost, pay it so that others who need a reduced cost can access services.
Please let me know if you are needing subsidy when you connect.
