Do you pee when you sneeze, laugh or jump?
I used to as well.
In fact, I used to have a lot of bladder challenges. I spent much of my young adult life, healing my bladder.
As young as 5 years old, I began to get recurrent urinary tract infections, and consequently a number of invasive and traumatic tests on my bladder.
What I probably needed was less sugar and more water, herbs and tending of my insecure, anxious attachment system. What a got was 7 years of prophylactic low dose antibiotics.
At age 12, I stopped the antibiotics, and my bladder had a few quiet years, until I lost my virginity at age 17. I got a UTI that spread to my kidney, and found myself delirious in the ER.
Take that in. My first sexual experience landed me in the emergency room.
My early sexual years were spent in cycles of having drunk college sex, getting bladder infections, taking antibiotics, getting yeast infections from the antibiotics and then starting the cycle all over again.
After ending a toxic relationship in my mid twenties, I had the inkling of another bladder infection. It turned out to be a condition called Interstitial Cystitis.
It feels like a UTI, but there are no detectable bacteria and no clear treatment.
The acute UTI symptoms lasted a year and half. I couldn’t have sex, I peed 3-4 times at night, my bladder was so spastic, I would pee a little bit at all the wrong times.
In one urology office that was inside of a hospital, I saw a book about something called, “holistic healing” in the hospital gift shop. Holistic healing was a new concept. So was kale, honestly. I grew up with mac and cheese and spaghetti o’s.
I looked up “Urinary Tract Infection” in the index and read about cranberry extract. This was in the late 90s, before instagram.
This book awakened an ancient knowing in me, of ways my conscious brain did not remember but that lived deep in my bones. Ancestral ways.
After some time, dietary changes, herbal remedies, meditation, soul searching and healing from childhood and young adult sexual trauma, I turned a corner. I stayed the path and I found peace and comfort in my body.
I started to live in a way where pain did not run my life.
I found pleasure in my body again, in new ways.
I had good days and bad days. Finally, after staying the self-created course, I realized I was going days, and then weeks, and then years, with NO PELVIC PAIN or bladder leakage.
It became my mission to help others do the same.
Because, guess what! I don’t pee myself anymore and I do not have any pain in my pelvic bowl anymore.
Over YEARS of working embodied pelvic practices, I have honed in on some that have been deeply healing and restorative to my pelvic organs, and that has landed me not having to think about carrying an extra pair of panties in my purse.
I have helped many heal one on one with these tools as well.
I am offering some of these tools to you, dear ones, in the form of a three day LIVE VIRTUAL course in less than two short weeks!
