HPC Frequently Asked Questions
⫸ What can I expect in a HPC session?
After reviewing your history and intentions, we'll begin with setting up some quick and profound energetic support that will maximize the impact of our session. You can be clothed from the waist up (warm cozy socks are also encouraged) and after my treatment hand is placed, you will be re-covered so you won't be exposed for the duration of the session. The hands-on treatment portion of a session is generally around 45 minutes in both initial & follow-up sessions. Every session includes gentle intravaginal fascial unwinding, trigger point release, guided breathwork, and visualizations tools, as well as self-care instructions, personalized teaching, and follow-up plan.
⫸ What effects will I notice after a session?
Women describe immediate effects including feeling more relaxed and centered, a greater sense of support, increased strength in their pelvic muscles, and sometimes very heightened sensitivity/access to your full feminine range. When blood, energy and lymphatic flow is restored to the pelvic bowl the benefits and improvement in undesired symptoms will continue to improve over time. Think of your session as an initiation of healing. Also, please schedule in some downtime after your session to maximize the effects and minimize the chance of feeling overwhelmed by your healing journey.
⫸ Is HPC like pelvic floor PT?
Yes and no. My passion and understanding of pelvic floor health comes from my training and experience as a bodyworker, midwife, and mother. I am not a physical therapist, though I have completed several pelvic floor trainings through Herman and Wallace (advanced physical therapy training institute). I like to think of HPC as the midwifery model of pelvic floor PT.
⫸ Is HPC painful?
It should never hurt. Your tissues' response will guide the depth and direction of my hands-on work.
⫸ Can I receive pelvic work during my moon time/on my period?
Yes! As a natural time of release, it is a wonderful time to "unpack" the pelvic bowl.
⫸ What if I don’t have any symptoms?
The goal of HPC is to empower you to inhabit your pelvic space and occupy your feminine ground physically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually. Our root/pelvis serves us in so many ways and yet receives little direct care. Regardless of symptoms, the benefits of reconnecting with this sacred space will be deeply profound, creative, and leave you with an honest sense of well-being.
⫸ Can I come in for a HPC session if I'm not ready or unsure about receiving internal (intravaginal) therapy?
Absolutely. There are many ways we can address your pelvic symptoms and/or heal from traumatic events without going inside the pelvic bowl. Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, Arvigo Therapy, guided visualizations, and general healing bodywork are wonderful when internal work is too painful, contraindicated, or when it's just not the time.
