Dr. Bri Talks Lady Bits

Truth: the WHOLE BODY is connected, and scar tissue you developed years ago may impact your movement today! In this episode with UK-based osteopath Daniel Baines, you'll learn about movement patterns that can unconsciously occur after injury, trauma, or scarring. Dan sees people falling into two patterns: opening and moving away from the injury/scar site, vs closing and moving toward the injury/scar site (more of a protective mechanism). We discuss how this patterning remains in your nervous system even after the injury/scar has healed. Dan shares a SIMPLE home treatment (that you can try too) of treating the nerve receptors via gentle, reassuring touch... you might find that your movement changes completely when you place your hand on the scar tissue site.

We also discuss reintroducing safety into the system through hypnotherapy, what it means to move "somatically," the importance of slowing down movement to really FEEL (and heal), and SO MUCH MORE!

As stress and pressure in my work life has increased, guess what... some of my pelvic health symptoms have worsened! Specifically, urinary urgency and frequency, as well as feelings of heaviness in my pelvis. Yep! I'm outing myself. Pelvic health is for LIFE, and it's a constant work in progress... even for the experts. 

As a pelvic health expert in need of a little EXTRA pelvic floor self-help, I turned to my good friend Dr. Jannine Krause to discuss the meridian system as a pelvic healing modality.

In this episode you'll learn about the bladder, kidney, and spleen meridians and how these "energetic highways" can help -- or hinder -- our pelvic health. Jannine shares specific tips about how to eat for the health of these meridians and how to care for them: what time of the day they need to be supported most, and a specific position to heal and replenish them.

Every day I elevate. 🌟 There is no failure. Everything is an opportunity for elevation if you change your interpretation of the word “failure.” Rather than failure, it’s an opportunity for a fresh start.
