What happens when the goal is not just to reduce pain or remedy a pelvic health "disorder", but actually to prioritize pleasure?

 

What if it was possible to actually feel safe in your body, to listen to yourself, to gently ease into what authentically feels good for you... one step at a time.


It's tremendously easy to feel shame around any kind of health challenge, but somehow even easier to feel shame around the pain or dysfunction that shows up in our pelvis.


I mean, who wants to talk about not being able to hold their pee in, or how they haven't been able to have sex without pain (or a trauma response) for years - maybe ever.



It's not the kind of stuff we share freely with our friends, and may not even share it with our partners. 

Pelvic health OT Laura Rowan helps clients to feel less pain and more pleasure in their pelvis and throughout their lives.  


It's not just about the pelvic organs, or sex, or pain - it's a whole life perspective.



Through manual therapies, vagus nerve stimulation practices, breathwork, vocalization, educating her clients on their own anatomy and more, she integrates a diverse tapestry of modalities to create a truly integrative approach to sexual and pelvic health. 

You'll hear all about these and more in today's episode.

  • how occupational therapists approach pelvic "dysfunction" differently
