Holistic Pelvic Care®: Feng Shui for the Pelvic Bowl?
The primary goal of HPC is to empower a woman to inhabit her pelvic space and occupy her feminine ground physically, energetically, emotionally & spiritually”

In today’s fast-paced world, many individuals are seeking holistic approaches to their well-being. One such modality gaining recognition is Holistic Pelvic Care® (HPC). With its emphasis on connecting mind, body, and spirit, HPC offers a unique and transformative experience. In this article, we dive into the world of Holistic Pelvic Care, exploring its principles, benefits, and how it can support your overall well-being.
Holistic Pelvic Care® is a journey home, and here we provide a 10-step approach to reconnecting with your womb space and a deeper more loving connection with your body and oneself.
1. The Power of Self-Love
Loving ourselves unconditionally is the foundation of holistic pelvic care®. It’s about letting go of self-doubt, embracing our uniqueness, and celebrating our bodies just the way they are. Remember, your worth is not determined by society’s standards; it comes from within. Our program provides a toolkit of activities that women can do to celebrate their bodies and reconnect with their pelvic bowl.
2. Embracing Intimate Health
When it comes to our most intimate parts, it’s essential to prioritise our health. Regular visits to a gynaecologist and keeping an eye on any changes or discomfort are crucial, but they do not provide women with the knowledge to check their vaginal health for themselves. Let’s break the taboo around these conversations and empower each other with knowledge to recognise tension, congestion, and trigger points, so they don’t build up into more serious gynaecological issues.
3. Natural Care for Our ‘Lady Bits’
Nature provides us with an abundance of healing remedies. Incorporate natural products into your routine, like organic cotton underwear, chemical-free feminine washes, and soothing herbal teas. It’s all about pampering your ‘pussy’ with gentleness and care.
4. Sensual Self-Exploration
Connecting with our bodies through sensuality can be a powerful experience. Whether it’s through self-pleasure, exploring tantra, self-care practices or mindful meditation, the journey of self-discovery can awaken a deeper understanding of ourselves. Whilst we recognise that self-pleasure can awaken women to a deeper understanding, we also recognise that some women’s pelvic spaces have been traumatised through medical intervention, trauma, sexual abuse, rape, and shame to name a few. We have therefore removed the sexual aspect and created an empowering program that enables a woman to do the self-care practices themselves, so that they can recognise where the trauma is stored and remove the congestion themselves. By taking ownership over your own bodies, you begin to reclaim sovereignty over it.
5. Mindful Nutrition
What we put inside our bodies directly impacts our overall health, including our pelvic well-being. Opt for nourishing, whole foods that support hormonal balance and keep your body in harmony.
6. Mental & Emotional Wellness
Holistic pelvic care® goes beyond physical aspects. Taking care of our mental and emotional well-being is equally vital. Engage in practices that calm the mind, such as yoga, meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature. The program has a specifically designed womb meditation that enables a woman to become aware of her pelvic bowl in an energetic way. When you can attune yourself this way, you begin to understand whether you are too much in your masculine energy, or your feminine energy and rebalance yourself. Being too heavily in one of the energy patterns causes our outer reality to be impacted in a negative way.
7. Liberation from Shame
As women, we’ve been burdened by generations of shame around our bodies. It’s time to liberate ourselves from this heavy load. Let’s stand together in sisterhood, embracing our bodies with pride and appreciation. One of our self-care practices provides women with the tools to find out what the negative narrative is that is subconsciously influencing how women feel about themselves, and then change it.
8. Surround Yourself with Positivity
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, support you, and celebrate your authenticity. Positive energy is contagious and essential for our growth. By creating a community of women who embrace their pelvic bowls in positive affirming ways, will raise the consciousness and ripple out into the collective and start to dissipate the shame trapped in the energetic field. The Dalai Lama once said ‘The world will be healed by the western women’ but we believe that in order for this to be achieved women need to come home to their root, to the wisdom that comes from the womb and the great mother.
9. Safe Sex & Birth Control
If you’re sexually active, ensure you’re practicing safe sex and using reliable birth control methods. Empower yourself with knowledge about the different options available and choose what suits you best.
10. Connecting with Community
Seek out like-minded individuals who share your values and interests in holistic pelvic care. Join online forums, workshops, or local gatherings to exchange experiences and knowledge. Remember, holistic pelvic care® is a continuous journey of self-love and exploration. Embrace it with an open heart and watch how it transforms your life in the most beautiful ways imaginable. Here’s to empowering ourselves, supporting each other, and spreading love like wildfire!
