I know the mental and emotional pain, and the constant struggle, of living with pelvic floor dysfunction. I suffered in silence for years with this feeling of heaviness as though something was pushing into my vaginal wall.

I was misdiagnosed twice, eventually discovering I had a grade 3 rectocele, grade 2/3 cystocele and uterine prolapse.

At the time I was in emotional freefall & feeling overwhelmed.

Adding to my despair, despite my efforts to do what the experts told me, NOTHING WAS WORKING (aka Kegels, “bracing” techniques & focusing on your 6 pack) and I felt COMPLETELY BROKEN.

However, I soon realised even though I’d done years of therapy, holistic health and meditation I still had a pattern of vulnerability running wild all over the place.

I have coined this the “vulnerability to defensiveness” pattern. When you experience trauma like I did, the world becomes unsafe, and your whole system goes on high alert. This manifests in fear of the dark, fear you’ll be attacked, fear your kids will be abducted, fear the money will run out and not trusting your body.

As soon as my husband, Duncan, and I figured this out, we were able to reverse my 3 prolapses and heal without surgery. 

Nowadays at age 48 years young I can run, hike, lift, bounce on the trampoline and run around after our two kids.

Combining the physical with the mental & emotional was the KEY to our success to reversing my 3 prolapses.
