Welcome
Likely you are here as something HURTS. You want to get out of pain, and not have it return.
Pain does not have to be part of being a woman
This may be a surprise, as being woman may have always hurt you. Understanding what pain is, and why it happens allows you to get out of pain.
No body can operate in extreme stress – it turns it down, or off – if it can. What is missing if it can’t?
1 – Likely the nutrients to do so.
2 – Or the structures have shifted and are not where they can work as intended to.
STUCK attached to it. What do I mean?
Looking from a structural view point – all has to be where it was designed to be, or all systems suffer.
PROBLEM – Pain
PRODUCT – ‘Being Woman’ app
PROMISE – Your uncovering understanding, thus solutions possible
PROOF – My 50 years of working with women who left my care happier/painfree.
Backed up by millennia of East Asian medical traditions, family knowings across the globe centre in plant and touch therapies.
Did you know that pain is a message?
By ignoring this body warning, why it is there will likely escalate, causing more than the pain alone. You may ask – how is it possible to have a period and it not hurt? Or birth a baby? Current Western medical understandings miss the obvious. Using a different model, it becomes obvious. Not enough water to moisten tissues Not enough minerals to carry the messages about the body? What the womb is attached to in the wrong position? How else is your body to tell you if not by stopping you in your tracks? Using the energy instructional one from acupuncture/East Asian medicine, and the structural one (from the Belizean/South/central America), we can easily undo often decades of discomfort and life disruption.
Have everything working as it is supposed to (not having been broken) and have all the ingredients needed for the body to work.
There are different kinds of pain. Ancient acupuncture texts explain that “when the Shen is peaceful – the pain is minute”. What does this mean? When you are, calmer all hurts less. May be a ‘chicken and egg’ scenario, but medical pain clinics currently steer you towards meditation when the strongest pharmaceuticals do not work. If you are calm, the pain lessens – this may be why the use of anti depressants is rife for all whose bodies are not being listened to. Pain is there only as you have not undone why it is happening. Having a period is not the reason. Being premenstrual is also an excuse. Even having a miscarriage – why does this hurt?
What is your body saying?
Pain is a signal that something is not flowing, whether it is through the lack of basic ingredients (water, minerals, fat, protein), blocked circulation of the body essentials (Qi, lymph, Blood, blood, nerves) or a combination of these, it will not let up until you correct this body warning. Expecting pain with the monthly cycle is a man’s medical bonanza. You do not need to expect to suffer.
Global traditional cultures worked out the ways of being woman. They initiated the girls into the phases of life and body messages were listened to, respected and corrected. Honoring bleeding and moon tides were vital for the tribe’s sustainability. Managing life using the local plants, and the seasons of the moon, the year ensured that their lives were in harmony with the tides that rule us.
They knew that the female body is constructed so it can open to birth. If anything disrupts the structure, its function is interfered with. Sacrum has a hinge to allow easy baby exit. This calcifies at around 27 years of age. And falls need to be corrected. Tailbone out of place? Womb being attached to it gets itself in a wonky spot. When filling and emptying monthly, this is noticed. PAIN? See also here
OBVIOUS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT
When the womb is misaligned, she cannot do her job. Diagram below may take a bit to understand – do see what I presented here FIRST
NORMAL – top left – womb is forwards, over the bladder, (Not sitting on top of impinging what the bladder must do)
From the RIGHT – Brown lines are the colon/bowel.
Black lines at the LEFT – the pubic bone.
Tan outlned organ – bladder
Pink outlines organ at the top – womb/uterus
Pink lines from the womb – vaginal outlet.
STUDY THE LINES . . . start from the left within the ‘womb’.
Blue straight line – the ‘lie’ of the womb.
Red line – the way the blood has to take to GET OUT
Green line – passage out.
WHAT DOES ANTEVERION mean? Uterus facing forwards.
RETROVERSION facing backwards
FLEXION? – Tilted as well
Can also have PROLAPSE when womb/or/and the bladder sinks – gradually taking all sensations of dragging and falling with her.
But few do see the engineering side of life. Not common knowledge. Not even part of a midwive’s understanding. All taught through men’s eyes SHOULD BE CONCERNED with engineering. We have consequences.
CASE – After third baby, bladder prolapsed. ONE treatment restored her. Prior to treatment, her bladder occupied her vagina!!
CASE – When checking where a tailbone was in someone who was pregnant with her 4th baby breech – I could not find it! Midwife as stunned. Never seemed to have thought of this. Me stunned too. This is the first place I investigate. How is baby supposed to GET OUT when the gate is blocked? Obstetricians neither. . They al wait for nature to ‘take her course’ but why not be proactive? Primary IGNORED issue – where is your womb? When she is attended to – it is likely MOST pain will leave. Same a with period – how CAN the flow release, when there are barriers?
THAT IS WHY THERE IS PAIN – Do something -not kill the pain message
OFTEN it is instant – correct the womb positioning
CASE 1 – PERIOD DRAMAS – young woman crippled in pain, screaming. What set this off? In my eyes – she had fall off a horse at 10 years old. She left my clinic in NO distress – what did I do? Retrieved normal womb position, so her blood COULD flow away. . She did not continue with sessions, or the homework, so although she had stunning success for a couple of cycles, pain returned as the body was not reminded to return to normal. This may end up in a medical mess – lifelong – for no other reason than medical ignorance – PUT IT ALL BACK INTO THE RIGHT PLACE. This is why womb work may be your missing piece.
CASE 2 – EASY BIRTHING – a past broken tailbone extraordinary birth pain. Fix the tailbone, birthing easier – and in one case, a footling breech (10th baby) then had the space to negotiate out, as she was not stopped by mum’s coccyx blocking her exit).
CASE 3 – BETTER BIRTHING – Broken tailbone 3 weeks before 3rd baby born, Excruciating birthing pain – fr this and the next 2 babies. I corrected this 2 days before the 6th baby was born easily, no more birth torture for mum.
CASE 4 – PELVIC CONGESTION – VARICOSE VEINS – Outrageous varicose veins – worse on one side. In late pregnancy, the womb was lifted, all congestion was eased, legs felt as good as they used to a year after pregnancy – yet 38 week old baby still to be birthed.
CASE 5 – CONSTANT BLADDER INFECTIONS – UNABLE TO EMPTY BLADDER FULLY – Unable to pee well – as the bowel and uterus had fallen onto the bladder. When the uterus was lifted back up to correct position – all bladder infections stopped, as bladder was now able to empty fully.
CASE 6 – SCIATICA – Older woman expected needles from me in clinic. – I said – “your uterus is misplaced”. I corrected that – she lost all sciatic pain.
CASE 7 – LEGS NOT RIGHT – Young girl with leg pains. Her sacrum had an obvious break in it. When I did the work to correct that – she stood up amazed. No leg wrongness. This means – her periods when they came should have been trouble free . .
The answer is simple- put it all back in place! And as we are not cars, do it gently . . as trauma is usually why we are STUCK
Being a naturopathically inclined body working acupuncturist, I always knew there was more to know. I found WOMB WORK in 2014, after the three phone apps were made, so I will incorporate more of this content from a womb alignment perspective as we go through the bringing forth this body of work. The other aspects – nutritional, emotional and energetic are integral – we always have more than one system affected.
ANSWER TO ALMOST ANY WOMEN’S UPSET – perineal steaming – see more here
If you have pain – warmth will comfort you. Whilst using plant medicine is no longer a part of learning (Western woman’s ways of knowing was severely discouraged, you can easily undo almost anything by sitting over a slow cooker, with plants fragrantly wafting up into your orifices. Seriously delicious – and what most cultures did and still do away from the prying eyes of those who are suffering still. No need get into the ways that work – time honoured, .

NOTE – there are multiple women’s womb work practices
Seek a womb worker – there are so many versions. Many were liberated as individuals adapted to suit their own cultural practices. Many are founded from Dr Rosita’s life work with Don Elijio Panti in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, being variants of the Belizean/central American traditions. The original connected tribe of Arvigo therapy womb workers has been scattered (2020). Arvigo Therapy is now branded as Tul’ix Indigenous Arts. The work is also found as the Abdominal Therapy Collective.
There are past off-shoots such as Mizan, Clare’s Fertility Massage, embodied womb care and other holistic womb care in various guises.
I took what I found in Mayan /Arvigo work (from the 2014 vintage via Jen O’Hagan in Kin Kin, Australia,) and Dr Jennifer Mercier’s moves (2016) into my own direction – Heather’s Gentling Ways. Some Gentling Way practitioners combine their past modalities into my Moving Blockages to Healing style of Moving Qi, enhancing nutrition and incorporating their own interpretation of using heartful hands. We (practitioners passing through my courses) meet you where you find yourself. Our work is immersed in the instructions that create your physical STUCKNESS – to relieve and to liberate. Back to the Light.
What PAIN is
Description: Pain is felt. Circulation is blocked. Maybe also viscera and soft tissue is not aligned as designed.
Why: Pain happens when there is something blocking normal flow. Get rid of the blockage and there then is no need for the body warning. Maybe a lack of good hydration. Lack of Vitamin D3, minerals – especially magnesium (always add it on topically and at least 10 times daily onto skin) If it prickles/burns – it means you need to get rid of the mercury and other heavy metals that are blocking absorption and thus health.
Solution: Start with structural work. – massage and the use of the moxa .Get more nutrient dense foods into your life. Magnesium on the body, plenty of loving touch, sun and exercise. Much more fat and protein, and water drunk – avoid sugar/cereals/grains/caffeine or alcohol/ caffeine.
I cannot accentuate enough that all must be aligned for flows to flow. Beginning with the FEELINGS – the emotions, the possibly fractured heart and womb connections leading to grief running cycles: sadness, womb weeping and general life debility.
When circulation is compromised, the very essence (ovarian messaging) of being woman is potentially deviated/blocked, leading also to all ‘hormonal’ disruptions, in addition to the lack of structural integrity that any condition with ‘period pain’ entails.
