We hold so much in our wombspace.
Stories, trauma, imprints, births, losses, past sexual experiences, and even more energetic qualities like our creative energy or feelings of safety.
So, even if we aren't experiencing any issues "down there" we could still benefit from some regular caretaking just to tend our tissues.
But if you *are* someone (like many of us) who's got anything from menstrual cramps to fertility challenges to trauma history to endometriosis or PCOS or irregular cycles or bladder pain or even creative blocks...
it's likely that some extra presence and care would be a powerful option for you.
Naturopathic physician, herbalist and bodyworker, Dr Kathryn Kloos has synthesized many years of working hands-on and clinically with thousands of patients and has developed her own practice of supporting multi-layered healing in the wombspace with a variety of techniques, including something she calls "uterine unwinding."
Combining a hands-on pelvic technique in the pelvic bowl with somatic dialogue,
uterine unwinding is a practice that encourages a client to listen deeply to what's present in the pelvic bowl and invites both awareness and possibility to change the imprints or stories that are alive there.
Unwinding and retelling the stories in those tissues.
We talk about all of this and much more, including some actual cases from Kathryn's practice in this week's episode.
Listen to learn:
- why Kathryn finds bodywork to be a key to pelvic care
- how her own personal cancer journey exemplifies her somatic dialogue technique
- what uterine unwinding is and how you might explore some of this practice in your own body either solo or with a practitioner
- some inspiring and hopeful stories of womb, fertility and trauma healing
- about the possibility of generational trauma getting stuck in our tissues
- one simple practice to ground you in your body and pelvis
