HEALING FOR MOTHERS - BODY MIND AND SOUL
​Pregnancy, birth and the postpartum are immense! And they often leave women with unresolved lower back pain, pelvic pain, leakage and emotional and physical trauma.
That is why traditionally all women were cared for with healing bodywork, deep emotional support and special foods through these times and Chaitanya believes that every woman still deserves this and provides the healing and bodywork to bring you back together.​
​
Perhaps you've waited a long time to seek help, or you've reached out to other therapists and not got the resolution you were hoping for. Its never too late to come in for some healing. I've seen these issues resolve even decades after birth.
​
Mothers are welcome to come for a healing session any time from 6 weeks after birthing (or sooner if they feel the need) for a specially tailored post birth healing session. This session will help you to land your birth emotionally, physically and spiritually and provide an opportunity to integrate the immense experience and gently bring healing to the bones and tissues of the pelvis and belly which have gone through such a huge journey of pregnancy and birth. This is a deeply healing, clothes on experience that can help the body recover from gestating and opening to birth.
​​​​​Common things that mothers come and see me with months, years and decades after birth are:
​​
-
big emotional turmoil or trauma from their birth experiences
-
feeling the need for deep nourishment
-
lower back pain that started years ago after one of their births
-
pain they name as sciatica which may travel down their leg
-
disconnect with one child who may have had a traumatic birth
-
disconnect with their partner and lack of libido
-
pain with lovemaking
-
depletion and fatigue
-
emotional distress around all kinds of things!!
-
perimenopausal symptoms
-
incontinence or occasional incontinence
-
prolapse or other pelvic imbalances
-
feeling unsupported
-
pain or back pain from c section or episiotomy scarring
-
trauma from birth or historical abuse
-
difficulties with parents or ancestral patterns
​
Sometimes women feel like they're too broken, or too far gone for healing. This couldnt be further from the truth. I want to remind anyone reading this that there is always a pathway forward and always a possibility for healing and a movement towards more connection, more wellness and more joy in life.
​
Regardless of what you're going through, please reach out if you feel you could benefit from some healing.
I am so grateful for the safe space she provided, that allowed my body to release the pain it has been holding.

HEALING FROM C_SECTIONS AND SCARS FROM YEARS AGO
If you delivered your baby via a c-section or had a tear, episiotomy or pelvic or abdominal surgery (including hysterectomy or repairs there are additional reasons to work with a healer or pelvic floor physio regardless of how long ago surgery or birth was for you.
​
As scars form adhesions and stick to the surrounding tissues and organs, they can cause lines of tension which pull on surrounding and even far away structures causing displacement of organs (such as prolaspe), incontinence and urges to pee as well as lower back pain and pain with sex.
​
Some of these symptoms only rear their ugly heads decades after the original surgery!
​
Chaitanya is able to help you with healing your scars so that they dont create troubles for you now and in the future. It is very important not to ignore this aspect of healing and very beneficial to address it. Reach out if you feel like you have some scars that might need tending and learn how to tend these yourself as that's an important skill to put to use!
BIRTH TRAUMA CAN EFFECT THE WAY WE SHOW UP IN THE WORLD
& RELATE TO OUR KIDS & PARTNER!
When parents in the birth room (or before or after birth) feel that things are out of control, that their lives are in danger, or they are not being listened to or respected or they are in terrible pain, this can register in the body and psyche as a traumatic experience. These days up to a third of births are officially classified as traumatic but really a birth experience is traumatic if the mother feels that it is.
​
My heart goes out to you if you've had a terrible or traumatic experience, no matter how big or small or how long ago. Perhaps you had a traumatic entry into the world yourself?
​
In response to trauma, the body and mind create holding patterns to allow us to move on with life, even if we havent finished processing the experience. This leaves many women in chronic physical and emotional pain that often doesnt resolve fully by only talk therapy or only clinical bodywork. Chaitanya works at the intersection of the emotions and the body, welcoming any emotions or revelations that arise in the healing process.
​
Although we cannot change what we have lived through, we can change how we feel about it in our bodies and minds - this is the healing work that most people come for.
​
Often women do not identify their births as being particularly traumatic, yet the impact of the pregnancy and birth is still held in the body. Working with Chaitanya to help release places of holding and reestablish strength and response in the pelvic floor and abdomen help resolve subtle trauma and reestablish a great connection with the energy of the birth and your child.
Chai helped me to reconnect my heart to my yoni. I had forgotten what it even felt like to connect like this with my sexual organs
