Join me and Michelle Fraser, Orthopaedic and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, advocate and educator, for a groundbreaking webinar focused on helping you harness your pelvic health to support traumatic stress recovery, nervous system health and trauma

April 9, 16, 23, 30 at 12-1PM EST

$99 CAD

If you can’t tune-in live, you will receive a link to a recorded version within 24 hours.

Whether you are living with the effects of sexual violence, birth and/or medical trauma or even toxic or persistent stress, learning how your pelvic floor is directly impacted on a daily basis and how your pelvic health can reinforce these states from body up to brain via your autonomic nervous system is a key element of your recovery process.

Key learning.

1) Understand how traumatic, toxic and persistent stress affect pelvic health and how to recognize that there may be a physical imbalance in your pelvic floor.

2) Learn how what’s going on in your pelvic floor impacts your diaphragm and breathing biomechanics and how this relationship can keep us stuck in hypervigilance and traumatic stress.

2) Gain a fundamental understanding of how nervous system dysregulation and pelvic floor hypertonicity can lead to symptoms/pain - and how persistent pain can perpetuate the cycle of stress.

3) Become acquainted with your pelvic floor, its position as one aspect of your physical self, its relationship with the vagus nerve and its unequivocal relationship with your emotional and spiritual self via the energetic and emotional body.  

4) Develop simple skills that you can use immediately to balance your pelvic floor and feel safer connecting with this often blocked or dissociated part of your body. Bring your pelvic floor into play to help invigorate a deeper sense of confidence in your body which will support greater embodied consciousness in your psyche.
