We tend to this portal of the potent ‘yoni-verse’ with great care. \nHere is a rare opportunity to join a circle of female licensed massage therapists\, midwives\, or others licensed to offer internal bodywork\, in a safe\, respectful\, nurturing environment. LMTs with this advanced training may practice internal bodywork in Oregon (OBMT Massage Board Rule (334-010-0029 Internal Cavity). We uphold respectful boundaries\, appropriate draping\, and a strong practice of confidentiality throughout. We will work in diads and triads with focus on musculo-skeletal concerns and psycho-emotional issues that often compound the physical. \nTOPICS INCLUDE: \n\n* Benefits of pelvic bodywork\n*  Prevalence & Causes of Pelvic Dysfunction\n* Pelvic Anatomy and Physiology\n* Palpate the internal and external pelvic floor muscles\, cervix\, uterus\n* Learn to assess and treat pelvic muscle tension\, prolapse\, rectocele\, cystocele\, incontinence\n* Internal treatments for Pregnancy\n* Postnatal concerns\n* Psycho-emotional-social-spiritual impacts of pelvic issues\n* Trauma Tools\n* 4 hours of Ethics & Boundaries\n* Marketing Considerations\n\nNOTE: This course does NOT include sexual touch\, tantric practices\, or sexologically related approaches \nWHY: Just like any muscle\, pelvic floor muscles develop scar tissue\, tension\, spasms\, imbalance. Many people suffer from hip\, back\, or pelvic pain\, sciatica\, or incontinence that stem from tension in obturator internus\, piriformis\, and levator ani muscles. This course will help you learn to offer internal bodywork with sensitivity\, compassion\, and skill. \nWHO: Designed for dedicated professionals interested in bodywork for the female pelvis who have fulfilled the prerequisite requirements\, and are willing to practice and receive internal pelvic floor (vaginal) bodywork with each other in a safe\, private\, and respectful environment. \nWHEN: ONLINE PORTION: TBD; IN PERSON: May 19-22\, 2023WHERE: OregonTUITION: @$1475 registration.

As a labor & delivery nurse I grew aware of the pelvic traumas that many endure and live with after birth\, with few avenues for help. In 2009 I successfully helped a client relieve 80% of her postnatal pelvic pain with one internal pelvic floor bodywork session. Inspired\, I pursued further studies\, including training with Tami Kent PT\, Bryan Baisinger DC\, John Barnes LMT\, Herman & Wallace\, and private studies with PT’s\, DC’s\, and an Osteopath\, Lee Morgan. Currently I have a private practice in Nevada City\, CA.
