holistic pelvic care™
On a physical level it involves evaluation by internal and external palpation, muscular contraction & release and mapping the pelvic floor muscles. Trigger point work & myofascial release work (MFR) are used to address pelvic dysfunction such as prolapse, pelvic pain, pelvic imbalance & congestion. Restoring balance helps to create optimum (reproductive/menstrual) health.
On an energetic level we feel into your ability to be fully present in this space. We look at the core energy patterns within the bowl ~ scarcity, lack of, too much, not enough, distrust of the masculine/feminine, ancestral lineage, our ability to be able to create/procreate and your ability to make this manifest. Who or what experiences are being held in this space? And how might that impact us on a physical level?
The pelvis is the area in our female body where we hold core wounding and emotional scars. We can hold trauma patterns as if they happened only yesterday. Or we may have failed to understand the capacity of the womb to both hold & to release energy and so these “events” sit as a signature of our life experience, causing congestion & poor energy flow.

A gloved & lubricated index finger is gently inserted, with no agenda, other than to act as guide. By breath, awareness, intention, presence & imagery, we can start to shift these patterns, helping to transform the bowl into a vibrant space of creation & manifestation
NB: This is a non-sexual, non-erotic massage. It is NOT a yoni massage.
Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) was developed by Tami Lynn Kent, from over 25 years of experience as a women’s health physiotherapist. HPC involves gentle internal massage of the muscles of the pelvic floor & fascia, which helps to restore balance, reduce tension patterns, increase blood flow to alleviate congestive patterns and can assist with problematic symptoms such as prolapse, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, vaginismus etc. It can also be used to address emotional holding patterns from experiences such as miscarriage and birth trauma. It is gentle, safe and a powerful way to address reproductive organ imbalances.
It is a beautiful blend of intra-vaginal massage & energy reading of the pelvic bowl/pelvis.This is sacred space within the ‘female’ body ~ it is the home of our Divine Feminine/Masculine energies and within sits the yoni (Sanskrit for the outer & inner reproductive organs, including the labia, vulva, vagina, cervix, womb, fallopian tubes & ovaries). This is THE creative/procreative area within our bodies and yet for many women, there is a sense of disconnection, discomfort & numbness - as if this space is unavailable, fully to ourselves. How many times have we given ourselves & our inner power away to others? How many times have we overridden our own boundaries in a misconceived effort to keep others happy?
HPC is the medicine for which we yearn; the conduit for allowing us to begin to listen to this place and drink up her medicine. The inner feminine landscape ~ our core/root space, indeed OUR ROOT MEDICINE.
who is it for, how can it help?
This therapy can be indicated for any of the following
Pelvic dysfunction: pain, prolapse, painful sex
Pelvic disconnection & numbness: due to trauma (sexual/emotional/physical)
General women’s health: conscious conception, menstrual cycle issues, menopause, perimenopause
Patterns of congestion: endometriosis, fertility issues, painful menstruation
Postpartum healing: birth trauma, prolapse, rebalancing
Baby loss, miscarriage, termination
Emotional healing & restoration of your feminine landscape
Or you may just have a sense that you have “given yourself or your power away” by not understanding the sanctity held within and so you wish to clear and transform and realign yourself more fully. Maybe, your creativity feels blocked or you just feel disconnected from your root grounding & connections to earth.
Please note that this therapy is open to anyone who has a vagina/womb etc, regardless of how you identify with gender. I use the terms Divine Feminine/ Divine Masculine as archetypes and not aligned with gender.
I use a water or oil based organic lubricant (Yes: www.yesyesyes.org) or organic coconut oil and the gloves are latex free. A rebozo is used to cover you to the knees as I sit to at your side. Check the blog posts for further information on this therapy & how it is delivered
