The Root of Healing: Your Pelvic Bowl

Introduction to Pelvic Bowl Healing I want to introduce you to one of the most powerful foundations of the healing work I do: your pelvic bowl. I first learned about this work in 2015, through the book Wild Feminine by my teacher and mentor, Tami Lynn Kent. When I tried one of the exercises early in the book—a simple visualization of the pelvic bowl—I saw a dark, murky swamp filled with snakes. It was so intense I threw the book across the room and didn’t touch it for a year. Eventually, with a little encouragement, I picked it back up—and something shifted. What I saw changed. What I felt changed. That moment began a journey that led to deep healing, not just for me, but for the many women I’ve now supported through this work. The pelvic bowl is the energetic and physical space inside the pelvis—it holds our uterus, ovaries, and so much more. It’s also where we tend to store unprocessed experiences, traumas (big and small), emotional tension, and even inherited beliefs. When this area is full of unspoken pain or untended emotions, it can block creativity, disrupt our sense of groundedness, and limit our ability to feel safe, vibrant, and whole. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.Through breathwork, visualization, energy work, and body-based awareness, we can begin to clear what’s been held, reconnect with our power, and create space for something new. Whether you’ve worked with this energy before or you’re just hearing about it for the first time, you’re not behind.You’re right on time. Let’s clear the bowl, find your flow, and help you flourish.

The Flourish Way™

After working in the health and wellness arena since 1992, I’ve observed exactly what it takes to create a holistic lifestyle that allows you to feel passionate, energized, and full of the zest you were born to feel. Most health & healing strategies focus on one area of living. For example, there are many experts who focus on the food you eat or the exercise you do. Some focus on mindfulness, while others focus on avoiding things, such as alcohol, TV, or sugar. In conventional/allopathic medicine, meaning what’s happening in hospitals and regular medical offices, the focus is mostly on the physical body. There it’s symptom management. You have a symptom, you get a drug, you have a symptom, you get a surgery. Natural medicine goes a step further in treating the physical body by looking for the root of the problem of symptoms. For example, gut health is often a root of the problem. We treat the gut and many physical symptoms (and some mental) will improve. Yet, it’s still a physical root. What I’ve learned is that most physical symptoms are late manifestations of what started as a mental, emotional, spiritual, social, financial, or sexual situation, or a combination. There’s something underneath.  When we experience stress from things like social issues or financial problems and we don’t address it, down the road we’re likely to begin noticing physical symptoms. The Flourish Way™ is a trademarked process for how I treat my patients and how I work with my coaching clients. The FLOURISH Way™ takes all aspects of your life into account: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, sexual, social, and financial. Because, what I’ve seen and what I’ve experienced in my own life, is that you get one area of your life going great, then another area starts to go poor. Then you get that area fixed up and then another area goes south. Maybe you get going great with money and then you get sick. Or, you’re really working on your spiritual practice, your energy is really good, and then you trip and fall and get hurt. Or, you integrate a new mindset practice and feel energized, and then you pick a fight with your partner. Sound familiar? What I’ve learned is that you actually have to find balance in all the areas of your life in order to truly flourish. The reassuring news for you is that most of the solutions aren’t that hard. Yet you do need to do what’s necessary to uncover them. Take a few minutes and think about each of these areas of your life. How balanced are you? What areas need more attention? What’s one thing you can start doing today to bring more balance into your life? In my online program, The Flourish Way™ Experience, we do just this. We help you bring balance to all 7 aspects of your life: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, sexual, and financial. And, we make it easy and FUN!

Expand & Emerge

Once you’ve taken the time to Unwind & Unlearn and Restore & Replenish, you’re ready to Expand & Emerge. The real you has always been in there. You just got covered up with all the muck of the world. I’ve seen this process happen time and time again in my pelvic bowl healing work and during my online program. When you release what’s no longer serving you, give back to people their thoughts and opinions, and allow yourself to truly be YOU, magic happens. To Expand means to increase in extent, size, volume, or scope. To spread or stretch out. To unfold, to express in fuller form or greater detail, or to develop. You expand yourself into an even greater version than you’ve ever known. And then you can emerge meaning to come forth into you or notice as if from concealment or obscurity, to rise or come forth, to come up or arise, to come into existence, to rise and form as from an inferior or unfortunate state or condition. What happens right now when you imagine yourself expanding and emerging as the most amazing version of yourself? Most people fear some kind of fear when asked this type of question. It can feel scary to let go of our wounds or the walls we’ve put around ourselves. Maybe you fear that others will attack you or you’ll get canceled? Or maybe this just feels really out of reach. We all need support. We needs guides and we need community. My online program, The Flourish Way™ Experience offers you both. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM HERE

Unwind & Unlearn

When you begin a process of transformation, the first step is to Unwind and Unlearn. From the moment you were born, you’ve been learning how to be and who you should be. You’ve taken on the beliefs of your family, your friends, your culture, etc. You were told you should be a certain way, act a certain way, look a certain way. You’ve become these layers and layers and layers of stuff that doesn’t even belong to us–it’s other people’s problems, which I like to call OPP (just like the song–‘yeah you know me’!). When we look at the word Unwind, the dictionary definition is to, “undo or loosen from a coiled condition, to reduce the tension of, relax, disentangle or disengage, or untwist”. You have to get inside your physical being, get inside your emotional, mental, spiritual being and unwind all the crap, all the stuff that doesn’t belong to you and all the stuff that’s no longer serving your greatest good. It’s time to let it go for good. And it’s not hard. That’s the beautiful thing, This doesn’t have to be complicated or hard. The next part is to Unlearn, which means to, “forget or lose knowledge of, to discard or put aside certain knowledge as being false or binding”. You deserve to unlearn the habits, the beliefs that don’t even belong to you, the lifestyle choices that you’ve made that aren’t serving you. It’s time to unlearn it all so that you can get YOU back. What I’ve see when I’m working with women, is that you are in there and all this stuff has gotten layered and layered on you. You’ve got to move it all out, so that you can come forth again. The real you in there, not all that other stuff. I’ve seen it happen, I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times now. So it’s possible for you too. What’s one old belief, habit, or opinion of someone else that you can let go of right now? If you’re ready to unwind and unlearn and you’d like help with that, registration is ongoing with immediate access to my online program for women, The Flourish Way™ Experience. The focus of the whole first month is unwinding and unlearning in all aspects of your life: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, sexual, and financial. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM HERE

Restore & Replenish

Hopefully you read the last blog and you understand the first step in transformation to “unwind and unlearn”. If you missed it, read it here. Step Two of transformation is to Restore and Replenish. Once you’ve taken off all the layers that don’t belong to you or are no longer serving you, the you underneath it all is going to need a little bit of nourishment. You’ve been kinda in there, stuck in there. We’ve got to restore and replenish you. Restore means, “to bring back into existence, use, or the like. Reestablish. To bring back to a former, original, or normal condition, to bring back to a state of health, soundness or vigor. To restore, reproduce, or reconstruct”. That’s restore, isn’t it a great word? Then replenish, “to make full or complete again as if by supplying what is lacking, used up, etc. To fill again or anew. So, we’re going to get you back to you, and then we’re going to restore you into your full capacity.” Who doesn’t want all of that? Restoring and replenishing includes creating high vibe emotions in your life, learning how to stay fully present moment to moment, saying “no” when you mean no, and learning to know what YOU really want, instead of doing what pleases everyone else. One of the first steps to restoring and replenishing is to breathe….stop right now and take 3 deep belly breaths. Notice how refreshed you fell when you do this. Consider setting an alert on your phone for every few hours to remind you to take a few deep breaths. This alone will bring you to the present moment, connect you to your body, and bring vital energy to all parts of you. Ready to restore and replenish yourself much further?
