I am not usually one to cry in public.  Probably a protective mechanism honestly.

But there are some times in my office that my empathic nature gets the best of me.

Because it’s too close to my own story and I KNOW EXACTLY what this person is FEELING. How scared she is and how nervous she is to confront something that she has been suffering with for YEARS.

Sometimes it’s a birth story that brings me back to the trauma that I went through.

On this particular occasion, I was working with a patient who had been living with pelvic pain for most of her adult life and ALL of her married life.

She had been told that it was in her head on at least one occasion.

Her spouse was sure that this was the ultimate rejection. She was afraid her marriage would not survive because of this!

And in this session, I helped her to realize that no, this wasn’t in her head, and that she DID have CONTROL over her healing.

At the start of assessing her pelvic floor muscles, her report of pain was around 7/10 with very light touch/pressure to her pelvic floor muscles. After some muscle retraining and breath work, she then reported the SAME pressure to only be a 2/10!!

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER ADULT LIFE, SHE REALIZED THAT THIS PAIN DID NOT HAVE TO BE HER EXPERIENCE FOREVER!!

I am NOT a miracle worker or magician.

But I DO know a LOT about pain science, the nervous system, the pelvic floor muscles and how they work with the rest of the body.

Through my own pelvic pain experiences, I KNEW how she felt with the realization of HOPE.

She cried and I did too. How could I not? If she hadn’t taken the leap of faith and come to meet me, she may have NEVER found this hope.

THIS is what makes EVERYTHING worth it. ONE person at a time.

If YOU have been suffering with PAIN or another pelvic health issue, I invite you to download the pelvic tension guide or schedule a consult with me. There is DEFINITELY HOPE for you. And I would be THRILLED to show you the way.
