    RECONNECT + REWILD YOUR PELVIS

  • Playful and Restful in equal measure - this workshop is for midlife women who'd like to rediscover playfulness and joy.

    What if pelvic wellbeing was about unwinding, releasing, building awareness and connecting with your playful, sensual self?

    Not a kegel in sight...

  • I'd been teaching people how to do kegels for years. And then after the birth of my second child I realised I'd been wrong.

    My pelvic floor stopped working properly and squeezes did absolutely nothing.

    As we go through life's changes, our bodies adapt cleverly to manage the ways that we move (or sit) through life. Working with the body is a massive gaemchanger. Especially as pelvic floor happiness isn't a one-and-done thing. It's an evolving part of us - especially as hormones shift in midlife.

    The real key is building awareness, allowing space for softness and a kinder approach.

    There's so much more to our amazing pelvises than just squeezing harder. Your breath, your nervous system and the way you move all have their parts to play.

  • This is for you...

    Do you ever feel somewhow out of sync with your body, and yourself?

    You spend a lot of time in your head, in logic-mode, but long to slow down — disappear into the woods or run away with the circus. You enjoy yoga, but aren’t sure which movements actually support your pelvic wellbeing. Things feel stiffer, achier. Some parts of your system just aren’t working quite like they used to.

    Let me say this clearly:
    You are not broken.
    And this day isn’t about “fixing” anything.

    It’s about giving yourself time, space, and new ways to explore what feels good and supportive as your body changes (which it is - we are in constant flux).

    This day is even more especially for you if these things chime:

    • You’re in midlife and want to reconnect with your body
    • You spend a lot of your day sitting
    • You experience back pain or pelvic discomfort
    • You’ve had difficulties in your pelvis in the past, such as after birth
    • You’re up for full-body smiles, letting go, and playful movement

    This small-group workshop is created with midlife women in mind - those who crave more joy, movement and connection. If you’re drawn to this and open to exploring pelvic awareness in a kind and respectful space, you’re warmly welcome.

    No eperience necessary - a hoop to keep is included in your booking.

    See you in the circle.
