Holistic Pelvic Care
Holistic Pelvic Care™ is ‘a holistic practice consisting of physical and energetic tools designed to evaluate, restore balance, and enhance vibrant flow in the pelvic bowl of the female body by working with an individual’s core patterns.’ Holistic Pelvic Care™ is a bodywork practice created by Tami Lynn Kent.
This therapy works with body’s energetics through the fascia (the layer of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle). Here, we use guided visualization, external fascial unwinding, and breathwork.With a referral note from a medical professional, internal fascial work may be done. A series of 3-5 treatments are recommended. -
Craniosacral Therapy
‘CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics.
Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams - about the weight of a nickel - practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.’ -Upledger InstituteSessions are conducted fully clothed , 60 minute session.

Holistic Pelvic Care
Holistic Pelvic Care™ is ‘a holistic practice consisting of physical and energetic tools designed to evaluate, restore balance, and enhance vibrant flow in the pelvic bowl of bodies that contain a uterus by working with an individual’s core patterns.’ HPC™ is a bodywork practice created by Tami Lynn Kent.
This therapy works with body’s energetics through the fascia (the layer of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle).
The pelvis holds so many of our organs and connective tissues and can become a place of congestion. Just like how we can feel tight muscles form in our shoulders, we can have tight knots form in the muscles of our pelvis. Through gently working directly with these tissues, we can work to create free flow and relieve symptoms. In addition to helping with basic connection to our felt sense of our pelvis, HPC™ can help support:
-urinary leakage
-uterine prolapse
-pelvic heaviness or instability
-pelvic muscle weakness
-pelvic pain
-pain with intercourse.
In the state of NC LMBTs require a doctor’s note to practice this internal work. Please reach out with any questions regarding HPC™.
