Holistic Pelvic Care
Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) is an integrative practice that supports basic women’s health and vitality and addresses chronic tension in the pelvic area, also referred to as the pelvic bowl.
Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) is a holistic women's health care practice that recognizes the intricate connection between the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of the pelvis. Developed by Tami Kent, a renowned women's health physical therapist, HPC aims to address imbalances and promote healing in th epelvis through a gentle approach.
This unique form of therapy combines elements from various healing modalities, including physical therapy, myofascial release, energy work, and women’s somatic psychology. It takes into account both the structural and energetic components of the pelvis, aiming to restore balance and harmony in this vital area of the body.
The pelvis, often referred to as the "seat of our power," is the central hub of our reproductive and creative energy. It houses our reproductive organs, supports the spine, and serves as a foundation for our overall well-being. However, due to factors such as trauma, stress, childbirth, and emotional holding patterns, the pelvis can become tense, restricted, or imbalanced, leading to a range of physical and emotional concerns.
A Holistic Pelvic Care treatment consists of two visits (*one visit in person and the other from the comfort of your home). *Both visits can be offered virtually as this practice is mostly energetic in nature. The first visit is held in the office as Christine gently evaluates the structural alignment and energetic flow in the pelvis. Through external hands-on palpation, such as, external myofascial work, and energy balancing, she helps to release tension, restore optimal alignment, and activate the body's natural healing resources. The second visit is a virtual visit so that you are in the comfort of your own home. Christine will support and faciliatate a guided hands-on internal pelvic visualization and self massage practice.
One of the unique aspects of HPC is its focus on the pelvic bowl as a resonant container of emotions and memories. Often, unresolved emotional issues or traumas can become stored in the tissues of the pelvis, leading to physical discomfort and imbalances. By incorporating elements of somatic psychology and energy work, HPC aims to release these emotional holdings, allowing for healing on a profound level.
Holistic Pelvic Care can benefit women of all ages, from young women experiencing menstrual difficulties to perimenopausal or postmenopausal women navigating hormonal changes. It can also provide support during different life transitions, such as preconception, postpartum, or during the menopausal years. HPC can help address a variety of concerns, including pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, fertility challenges, bladder and bowel issues, sexual trauma, and postpartum recovery.
It is my intention to support the empowerment of women to reconnect with their bodies, tap into their innate wisdom, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. By bringing attention to the pelvic area, HPC invites women to honor and nourish this sacred space, fostering a renewed sense of empowerment, vitality, and well-being.
Holistic Pelvic Care offers a holistic and integrative approach to women's health, addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of the pelvic region. Through a combination of gentle bodywork, energy balancing, and emotional release, HPC aims to restore balance, promote healing, and support women in their journey towards optimal well-being and vitality.
