What to expect when you come in for internal attunement….
We’ll begin your session with a cup of tea where we are given the time to shift into the space of the work and tune into where you are at mentally, emotionally, physically, and energetically. As we settle in we can begin to sense into where places are blocked or quiet. You can bring up any physical, emotional or energetic things that you are hoping to have addressed in your session. These sessions include a longer intake and closure, and are not hands on for the entirety of the appointment time. Your first visit will be booked as a 90 minute appointment and any follow up sessions can be scheduled as 90 or 60 minutes depending on your preference.
We move into the hands on work, we will always begin with working with the outer body and there will be multiple consent check ins before doing any internal touch. Generally beginning with craniosacral and some outer body massage then blending into the more specific attention to any given areas of the body that will allow for the most beneficial flow and healing during the internal portion of the session.
After addressing the outer body and dropping into the hands on portion of the session I will check in when it feels right to see if you are still wanting to receive internal touch. If you are still feeling a yes I will ask you to shift to lay closer to one side of the table, I will prepare lubricant and put on gloves and we will spend no more than 25 minutes doing internal touch, it is truly incredible how much change can occur in that time. I will continuously check in and we can end the internal touch at any time. You are in control the entire session.
We will end with more craniosacral and any other outerbody contact that feels necessary to close the session. I will step out for you to dress. To wrap up we often close with a discussion of a plan, potentially some home exercises, intention setting and planning of any follow up appointments. Most people’s energy and physical body shifts during the work and together we align to help you keep that new level of flow between visits so we can build on it at the next.
My approach to internal work…
Internal pelvic attunement is a purposeful, direct contact, balancing technique for pelvic floor muscles, tailbone, pelvic organ fascia, and the energetic flow and alignment through the central channel. My technique is an alchemy of systems - biodynamic massage and craniosacral, myofascial release, patience, somatic movement and breath. Working in relationship with the form, fluid and field. I approach every unique body with reverence and respect. Recognizing that you’ve known your body much longer than I have. I will always defer to what feels right to you. Just because you are coming in for an internal session it does not always mean we will do internal work, outer body and energetic alignment of the womb space can be just as potent and sometimes you deciding to say no is the most powerful work that can be done.
In these sessions if you do decide internal work feels right, I always want to recognize that we are touching the most potent source of sovereignty and self. The place where so many of our biggest, strongest muscles all originate and weave together it is a place of great strength and softness. This work brings balance to the physical strength and softness that we all carry within us. The pelvis is also the space that potentially has received some of the most trauma that a person can experience both physically and energetically, this work can support a reclamation of boundaries and self, a clearing out of stories that no longer feel true, a devotion to our bodies that are all truly temples.
This physical work is innately energetic, connecting the heart, body and spirit. I am honored to bring in all the medicines I have to offer and to individualize each session depending on the day, the season, and the place of healing that you are in.
