In this episode, I welcome Donna Brooks, a respected somatic movement therapist, yoga therapist, and educator with 40 years of experience. 

Donna shares her background in yoga and somatic movement, her personal journey with pelvic floor issues, and her unique insights into how somatic movement can aid in pelvic floor health. 

We discuss the physical and emotional aspects of pelvic floor problems, the importance of integrating breath and movement, and Donna’s innovative approaches outlined in her ebook. 

Our conversation is filled with practical advice and offers a compassionate perspective on achieving balance and well-being through somatic practices. 

I also reflect on my own experiences with somatic movement and emphasize the importance of awareness and embodiment in healing.
