Naturopathic Women’s Health Includes:

integrative pelvic therapy

Pelvic bowl therapy is an umbrella term that includes many approaches to healing pelvic bowl dysfunction, promoting sexual health, desire and function. Our approach empowers you to take the lead in your healing journey, and shift feelings, emotions, negative self-assessments and unproductive thought patterns, and create new mindsets, new beliefs, enhanced function, desire and confidence to truly live the life you desire & deserve.

When pelvic floor therapy is approached from a holistic care point of view, it includes mind-body-spirit approaches to healing. There are many healing techniques in this holistic toolkit, including: somatic holding pattern release, guided meditations, unwinding historical trauma, abdominal and low back myo-fascial release through massage, pelvic floor specific yoga poses individualized for you, scar tissue massage, shockwave therapy, near infrared light therapy, intramuscular stimulation (IMS) needling, external genitalia exam to identify necessary medical pathology to address, internal assessment of muscle strength and balance through slow twitch and fast twitch exercises (“kegel” variations), and various effective muscle release techniques.

Pelvic bowl therapy is considered first-line treatment for many pelvic conditions including incontinence, prolapse, postpartum recovery & sexual dysfunction. Integrative pelvic therapy is a unique approach customized to meet your needs. This approach is a fusion of Naturopathic principles, holistic pelvic care, massage, breath work, and trauma informed support customized to meet your unique needs.

The Pelvic Floor Resiliency Program may be right for you if you experience:

Pelvic pain (vaginismus, vulvodynia, endometriosis, vulvar vestibulitis), pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, lumbar/low-back pain, tailbone pain, sexual dysfunction, difficulty with orgasm, painful intercourse, low libido, PMS (cramps, heavy or light bleeding, back pain, mood changes, acne), irregular menstrual cycles, fertility challenges, pregnancy and preparing for birth, postpartum recovery, C-section scar or other scar tissue, diastasis recti, constipation, episiotomy/tearing during birth, healing from birth trauma or sexual trauma and/or a general sense of disconnection with self. If you are feeling a disconnect between your inner vital womanhood and your current state, integrative pelvic floor therapy is an excellent place to start your healing journey!

what happens at the first visit?

The initial visit involves a thorough intake of current symptoms, emotional and physical experiences, medical history, non-speculum pelvic exam if warranted. The course of treatment will be highly individualized to support your needs and goals. The first visit may simply be a discussion of history and the best course of action moving forward, or may include a more hands-on treatment. Each client will have individualized at-home exercises to enhance their unique goals. Although hands-on treatments can be greatly beneficial, this approach is most effective when the client commits to leading their healing journey and taking action outside the office visits.

The muscles within the diaphragm & pelvic bowl work in synchronicity & are affected by breathing patterns, posture, muscle tension & stress. Education and guidance in each of these areas will be customized to fit the client’s needs. This return to rhythmic breathing will support you in feeling more at home in your beautiful body.

hormone balancing & supporting natural biorhythms

Our bodies are rhythmic in nature. We have evolved to synchronize our rhythms with day and night, light and dark, temperature, and seasons, and our hormone rhythms are no different. Supporting natural hormonal cycles requires supporting our natural biorhythms, while supporting nutrition, metabolic health, mental health, stress management, and nervous system balance. Our functional approach will not only help your regulate your menstrual cycle, it will improve all aspects of your vitality and health! If you are curious about starting a family, plan to someday in the future, are experiencing side effects from your current birth control, want to discontinue hormonal birth control, curious about fertility awareness method, PCOS, endometriosis, menopause symptoms (hot flashes, irregular cycles, vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, etc), we will support you in your unique journey.

optimizing fertility

Whether you’re currently trying to create a family, or plan to in the future, we identify and remove obstacles to reproduction, while supporting your body’s innate wisdom in creating life. First and foremost, a strong, healthy, vital mother is necessary to support the development of a healthy baby. We will support you in your fertility journey by creating a healthy body-mind that is prepared to nourish and support a growing baby, while building YOUR vitality and health!

digestion & nutrition support

Food, at its most fundamental level, is simply information. What we consume either gives health supportive information or detracts from our vitality and health. We take a holistic, functional approach to identifying food sensitivities and allergies with the latest technology in lab testing, customize a plan to meet your unique needs, and support you in creating life-long nourishing habits! Our approach identifies obstacles to healing, supports individualized nutrition plans, intuitive approaches to eating, and support you in effectively nourishing your body-mind. Consider working with us if you’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, celiac, psoriasis, IBS, IBD, disordered eating patterns, difficulty maintaining healthy body composition, irregular menstrual cycles, skin conditions, autoimmune disease, diarrhea, constipation, etc.

optimizing strength & performance for metabolic health & prevent osteoporosis

Optimizing strength training and nutrition are the most important factors in improving metabolic function (decreasing risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity), supporting hormone balance at any age, and preventing osteoporosis and sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength). We take a functional approach individualized to your capabilities and needs to help you build a strength and confidence!
