What is Pelvic Care?

In a supportive and respectful space, you will receive gentle, intentional touch to guide your pelvic tissues back to a state of harmony. Giving your pelvic tissues the love and care they’re calling for allows your body to melt back into a place of balance, freedom, flow, and pleasure.

The Pelvic Care Ceremony is intended to support you during any stage of your life – from menarche to menopause. These therapeutic sessions are for you if you are seeking to provide your pelvic space with tender care and attention, while relieving tension, trauma, congestion and stored emotions.

The Pelvic Care Ceremony involves a practice known as ‘internal pelvic release’, which is a hand-on therapeutic technique utilised to address tension, dysfunction and pain in the muscles, ligaments and supportive tissues within the pelvic bowl. During internal pelvic release, gentle manual pressure is applied through the intravaginal tissues to allow a ‘sigh’ or ‘release’ of unwanted tension within the pelvic bowl.

Times when you may seek Pelvic Care:

  •  If you are experiencing menstrual cycle concerns and want to support your womb into optimal alignment;
  • During the preconception phase to invite flow and pleasure in preparation for conception;
  • Following an early birth (miscarriage) or termination/abortion to release any heavy emotions, sadness, grief or anger;
  • During pregnancy (after 24 weeks) to ease pelvic discomfort/pain or bring back harmony within the changing and evolving pelvis;
  • In preparation for labour and birth to support the intravaginal tissues as they get ready for their big stretch;
  • During the early postpartum to provide nourishing, gentle touch to the healing tissues;
  • After a significant life event eg. a breakup/divorce, death of a loved one to release stored trauma and support the body to move through grief;
  • Following a physical injury to the abdomen, pelvic or hips eg. a fall, post surgery;  
  • Or at any point in your life where you are feeling called to explore and provide nourishing touch to the tissues of your pelvis.

Physical and emotional manifestations that can be calling for Pelvic Care (but are not limited to):

  • Pain within the pelvic tissues, lower back or hip region;
  • Uterine prolapse or heaviness in the womb, bladder or bowel;
  • Irregular, heavy or painful bleeds;
  • Fertility and hormone related issues such as recurrent early birth (miscarriage), PCOS, Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, low/lacklustre libido or sexual desire;
  • Chronic bladder or pelvic infections;
  • Pain/discomfort or lack of sensation/numbness during sex or self pleasure;
  • Urinary or faecal incontinence or dysfunction;
  • Shame or disconnection from your pelvic space from social conditioning, sexual trauma or abuse or previous pregnancy terminations/abortions.

Reported benefits from receiving Pelvic Care:

  • Release of tension and pain from your pelvic tissues, sacrum, coccyx, lower back and hips;
  • Increased sensation and pleasure within the pelvic tissues;
  • Deeper understanding of your pelvic space and its innate power;
  • Increased sense of freedom and flow within the pelvic bowl and surrounding structures;
  • Most importantly – connection to yourself, your womb, your whole pelvic bowl and the collective feminine energy.

Pelvic Care Ceremony

Each Pelvic Care Ceremony is tailored to the specific and individual needs of the sister I serve. As a general guide, below is a structure of how the Pelvic Care Ceremony will flow:

  • Herbal tea to relax the nervous system/support you to share your story and set an intention for the ceremony;
  • Brief sharing of what is involved with Pelvic Care work and the anatomy I will be guided by and holding space for during the session;
  • Guided meditation to help you drop into your body and connect with your intention;
  • Yoni steam* with intuitively chosen herbs to promote an increase of blood flow and lubrication to the intravaginal tissues, which increases comfort during the session (*not suitable for sisters who are pregnant, actively bleeding or have an IUD);
  • Various body work practices guided by your physical and emotional state at the time of the ceremony;
  • Internal Pelvic techniques if and when your body is ready to receive – this is completely guided by you;
  • Opportunity to  journal your experience (if you feel called);
  • Time to debrief anything that has come up in ceremony that you would like to further explore – over another cup of herbal tea and something sweet.

The energetic exchange will be $222 at the Grange clinic, and $250 at the Mooloolah Valley clinic.

Please note that if we have not yet worked together, I strongly recommend that you first experience a Womb Care Ceremony or one of my other bodywork offerings, in order for us to connect, get to know each other and allow your body to build trust with my presence and touch.

Pelvic Care is deeply intimate and requires a level of vulnerability and trust that is often hard to establish in the first session together. In special circumstances where time is of the essence, I am happy to chat with you and arrange a double session to give you body, heart and soul time to build trust and familiarity required for healing and transformation. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message to chat about what your body is calling for.

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING: It is with gratitude that I ask you to complete my Bodywork Client Intake Form at least 48hrs prior to your session. I also ask that you wear comfortable, loose clothing to your session.

**When booking, please note that bookings for The Nest Mooloolah Valley are only available on Thursdays and every second Tuesday (1st & 3rd of month). All other appointment times listed will be for The Womb Room Grange.

I’m feeling so much more comfort, freedom and ease...

I’m so glad I was introduced to Roxanne. She was an important part of my pregnancy, birth and postpartum care team. I wish every woman had access to her services as everyone deserves proper womb/pelvic care and support. I’m feeling so much more comfort, freedom and ease within my mind and body since working with Rox. I always enjoy our sessions and leave feeling not only physical improvements, but also seen and heard. Thank you for creating this wonderful, safe space .

...a background in midwifery and is extremely knowledgeable

Roxanne was recommended to me by my massage therapist. I had the pelvic care ceremony. Roxanne has created a beautiful space, she is compassionate, caring and I felt safe to share my story with her. She has a background in midwifery and is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend seeing her.

I experienced an immense sense of safety and comfort...

Roxanne offered me a session with her to do a Pelvic Release. Throughout the whole process, Rox was so gentle, reassuring, soft and letting me know what she was doing throughout every step of the Pelvic Release, guiding my pelvis to slowly and gently release the tension it was holding. Whilst I have never had this done before, I experienced an immense sense of safety and comfort within the space Rox held for me and my sacred body throughout the whole process (before, during and after). I would’ve never guessed how relaxing this would be nor the amount of softness / lightness I’d feel within my pelvis. Rox showed my pelvis such immense love and nurturing care. I highly recommend having a pelvic release session with Roxanne if you’re feeling you may need it to release any tension you may be feeling or simply feel called to the experience.

I felt more connected to myself and my feminine energy

My internal pelvic release session with Roxanne was exactly what I needed. I was in need of some self care, time to connect back to myself and some physical work after the birth of my second child. Roxanne is professional but also friendly and easy to build rapport with. She ensured I was comfortable and thoroughly explored my feelings and concerns I wanted addressed at the start of the session. The internal pelvic release work was wonderful and I felt really in balance and calm at the end of the session. I felt more connected to myself and my feminine energy. I highly recommend Roxanne and think it’s an amazing service to be offering people.

I left my session feeling lighter with a newfound sense of connection...

Throughout my session, Roxanne was able to release incredibly tight muscles while holding space for me and explaining what she was doing which I found deeply affirming. I left my session feeling lighter with a newfound sense of connection to my yoni and womb space. I cannot recommend Roxanne highly enough. Her gift for working with women is truly remarkable, and her kind, compassionate approach is perfect for anyone seeking a release of what’s no longer serving them emotionally, physically and spiritually.

...for those who wish to connect deeply with their bodies

Thank you Roxanne for holding a beautiful space for me to explore who I am on a deeper and unique level. Roxanne shared so much wisdom with me, answered all my questions and gave me the space to explore and experience the different facets of self during this ceremony. I have had greater insights and visions since our ceremony. 

I would highly recommend a Pelvic Care Ceremony for those who wish to connect deeply with their bodies, release tension and gain great insights in a very special space Roxanne creates for her clients. More women should experience this!
