Holistic Pelvic Care™ and Holistic Pelvic Energy™ are a system of techniques developed by Tami Kent (M.S. Physical Therapy). They are designed to evaluate, restore balance and enhance flow within the pelvic space. These techniques closely align with occupational therapy understanding of the importance of doing, being, becoming and belonging within ourselves and our communities, and how these need to be in balance for wellbeing.

Tami Kent has recognised the pelvic space is more than a body structure made up of bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves; but as the centre of a woman’s creative energy. This energy is drawn upon to grow and birth children, but it is also a source of all things that women manifest and bring into the world. When pelvic energy is balanced, it can sustain our work, relationships, mothering and self expression.

However, our pelvic space has a tendency to hold emotional stress, trauma, lineage patterns, energy blocks and tension.  What may start as an energetic imbalance can become physical symptoms and disconnection from the body. These techniques use a combination of internal soft tissue techniques, breath awareness and visualisation to address these core patterns and reestablish the flow of energy in the pelvic space. This brings about greater connection to the pelvic space and support for pelvic, menstrual and emotional wellbeing. The techniques can be used to explore and address trauma, birth energy, birth healing, miscarriage, abortion, sexuality and rites of passage.

Holistic Pelvic Care™ uses intervaginal touch to directly address the pelvic space; Holistic Pelvic Energy™ is performed through clothing and considers the broader energy in and around our body that impacts the pelvic space.
