The intention of this external massage is to relieve congestion in the pelvic region by guiding displaced organs back into the proper position for optimal health. This bodywork is structured to heavily support the reproductive, digestive, nervous, and lymphatic systems. Spiritual healing is woven into this practice, and all sessions start and conclude with an honoring of self meditation, allowing for time to reconnect with the heart, womb or creative sacral space, our ancestors and mother earth.

Plant medicine is offered during your session (tea, essential oils, and/or herbs). Bodywork and Energy Healing are woven together and the majority of the work will be spent in the middle section of the body, working the abdominal and pelvic space and may include the lower back and sacral areas. Other herbal remedies may be included (castor oil pack, pelvic steam, or herbal compress). This work is meant to be deeply healing and supportive of embodiment and gentle trauma release.

You may benefit from this kind of work if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Menstrual conditions (pain, PMS, irregularity)

• Fibroids or Endometriosis

• Trouble conceiving or infertility

• Digestive discomfort, Constipation, or Bloating

• GERD, IBS, Crohn’s Disease, or Diverticulitis

• Post-Surgery Scarring or adhesions

• Feeling disconnected to one’s body

• Struggling to feel safe in one’s body

• Chronic guarding or trouble letting go

• Chronic fatigue or anxiety

• Chronic pain

**Please note: This type of bodywork is intended to be nurturing and restorative. All work is external. It may provoke the release of trauma and/or sexual healing, but it is not a sexual form of massage.
