FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Unfortunately, no. The nature and point of this work is to allow movement and repositioning of the abdominal and pelvic organs, which can displace an IUD.
-
This is very individual, and depends on what you are experiencing and how long it’s been present. This work unfolds in layers, slowly reaching the deeper patterns of tension, inflammation, adhesion & congestion in the body.
As few as 1-3 sessions can be very beneficial, and I usually recommend 6-10 sessions for deeper, sustained change.
-
The work can feel intense in moments, either bringing up strong physical or emotional sensation. I think of this as pain or discomfort that has already been living in the body, and needs to be felt in order to be released. We never work beyond pain that cannot be breathed through with ease.
-
You are welcome to be completely nude as I work with a sheet covering. If that is not comfortable for you, you are welcome to wear undies and/or a bralette that is non-restrictive.
-
On the day of your session, please arrive with clean skin, free of oils, perfumes, and moisturizers. The first layer of the work will not be effective if you have moisturizer on, especially on the chest, belly, and pelvis/hips.
I sometimes work with the face and neck, and for this reason ask you to not wear heavy makeup or excessive moisturizer on your face as well.
Because this work requires your full presence, it is required that you are not under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, psychedelics, or stimulants.
-
Please arrive right on time, I may be finishing up with a client and will not be available earlier than your scheduled time.
-
I offer vulva and vaginal work as part of Womb Continuum. The tissues of the vulva and vagina can also develop adhesions which restrict blood flow and contribute to dysfunction including pelvic and vaginal numbness and pain. External and internal genital work can also be a gentle way to melt layers of shame and disconnect, restoring a natural joy and loving reverence in relation to your vulva & vagina. Internal/external genital work is only offered after several foundational sessions together. You are welcome to ask questions about this at any time.
For women with a history of significant sexual trauma, working with a qualified therapist is an important first step before exploring internal genital work.
