Recovering Control, Building Confidence

What an empowering workshop ‘Recovering Control, Building Confidence’ we had last weekend in Forty Hall. The education and learning shared, their questions and objectives addressed, new friendships formed and laughter, made it worth every moment of preparation and delivery.

I have to say thank you once again to Million Mom Movement USA. They graciously sent products to improve the health and vitality of our children, adding real value to the event. Their mantra for children is to “make healthy cool.” I love and second that. I want to thank Elvie also for being gracious in giving one of their products as our raffle give away. Well done to Pauline one of our gorgeous attendees, who talked it into being and received what she put out.

It is my aim to “Shape a better future from the inside out” for women everywhere. That pelvic floor health and happiness that comes with a better understanding of and utmost value placed in these amazingly fruitful muscles.

 

All of this change in body posture and lack of space for the internal organs may place adverse stress on the pelvic floor muscles and structures and if these muscles are not considered at this exciting time two things may happen:

  • They are unable to relax effectively in second stage delivery and may have to have medical intervention, which could lead to perineal damage.
  • Weakened and stretched muscles, that have become too deconditioned may not be able to withstand internal pressures from the bladder (or bowel) causing involuntary leaks, or the internal organs may descend. Deconditioned muscles that have become de-sensitised make intimacy less enjoyable when there is a lack of sexual feeling.

In the second stage the whole of the pelvic floor muscles are exposed when the baby’s head appears, thus the integrity of the pelvic floor muscles along with the perineum must be considered in relation to relaxation as well as strength and the feed-forward response, in order to enable the best recovery postpartum.

I continue to help women prepare for childbirth and delivery with a renewed confidence and sense of wellbeing.  Your pelvic floor is last part of your body your baby will pass through in natural childbirth coating your child with extra immunity. Whether or not you give birth naturally, it has had the extra load of the baby so it is important to consider it to ensure health and happiness for years to come.

 

Here are a few of the comments shared through feedback:

“Learning about the importance of connecting and maintaining a healthy strong pelvic floor”

 

Most interesting part of the presentation:

“Enjoyed the workshop. Did not know what to expect but it was better than I thought it would be.”

Any comments:

“Enjoyed very much. I would enjoy a whole day, weekend of pelvic floor health and happiness” – A real testament that value was given on the day.

Any comments:

I thank God that I have the gift of encouragement and enlightenment in this area and am able to share it in the form of books, workshops and individual tailored programmes. I can meet a need in various mediums.

The next workshop is 23rd September  book before 12th August 12 for the early bird price of £50 or £67 thereafter.
