Ep 45: Understanding Prolapse and Biotensegrity w/ Anna Crowle Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

In this mind-blowing interview with Anna Crowle, you'll develop a deeper understanding of prolapse and a new way to describe it (as a pelvic organ shift or pull, rather than a "drop" or "fall"). I encourage you to LISTEN to our interview, and then watch the video version to learn even more!

Want EVEN MORE guidance? Check out our "Part Two" training which dives deeper into scar tissue release techniques (including for C-section scars), causes of tension, and self-treatment options.

Ep 43: The Layers of the Pelvic Floor w/ Alicia Patterson (Part 2) Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Welcome! This is part two of a two-part series with somatic counselor and women's pelvic health expert Alicia Patterson. We discuss the layers of the pelvic floor and pelvic healing. The more superficial/surface layers represent boundaries that protect (and open or close to let things in and out)... The second layer is the levator ani muscle group; it's profoundly strong, foundational, and represents our identity + our story. The third layer is the cervix, which contains ancient information that's BEYOND our conscious "stories."

Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in, as we discuss what all of this means!

Ep 40: Key Tenets of a Lifted Lifestyle (prolapse and more) Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Subscribe so that you can be notified when I'm back for Season 3! (Short break coming up.) In the meantime, enjoy these basic principles for living a "lifted lifestyle," since your lifestyle habits make up 99% of your day. These tips will help prevent prolapse and bladder leakage, and can reduce symptoms if you already have a pelvic health condition. Consult with a women's health physical therapist in your area for individualized evaluation and treatment, and if this conversation LIGHTS YOU UP, then check out my Lift + FemSquad bundle! I'd love to welcome you into our community.

Ep 39: The Forgiveness Wound... And what a miraculous self-healing actually sounds like! Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

*This is my personal story, and is not to be used as a substitute for medical treatment or advice.

Just like episode 34, here's another super personal installment! In this episode, I discuss the power of forgiveness and releasing deeply held fears and resentments. Healing "the forgiveness wound" (i.e. all of the open, gaping areas of my life for which self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others would be a balm) has been a big step on my personal self-healing journey!

If this conversation interests you, then Transcend, my next level of coaching, is for you. Transcend is ideal for women who have been through Lift (or a similar pelvic floor/core restoration program) and know that there's MORE to healing than exercise and lifestyle alone. If you're interested in going deeper and learning how to become your own inner healer, join the waiting list for the current (or next) round of this deeply supportive experience: https://www.vibrantpelvichealth.com/transcend

Ep 38: Toys and Products to Use During and After Recovery from Pelvic Pain Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Are you getting enough "Vitamin P?" (Pleasure!) Whether or not you're dealing with pelvic pain, pleasure is an essential component of healing and it helps us ALL live our best lives. When we feel good, we do good!

In this super-informative interview with Nicole Guappone, you'll learn why sex doesn't have to involve intercourse or orgasm, products and toys that can help relieve pelvic pain, the difference between dilators and dildos, how to approach a sex toy shop, what to look for in a lube, how to use products for trigger point release, and so much more.

We keep the conversation real, but we also keep it clean and respectful. Regardless, you might want to listen with headphones if you're in a public setting.

Ep 36: After 15 years of pain, pelvic tension was the missing link! Laura's story... Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I'm joined by Laura, who shares her very personal story of HOPE and healing. After almost 15 years of pelvic pain and constant visits to the doctor, she finally overcame her symptoms by unraveling pelvic tension — something she had never before considered. Laura shares her favorite stretches, how she committed to a daily stretching practice, all the ways her life has improved over the last year of dedicated stretching and release, and so much more! THANK YOU, Laura... Your story means the world to me, and I know it will uplift other women (and men) who are struggling and feeling frustrated right now.
