HOW TO HEAL PROLAPSE: AN INTERVIEW

How to heal prolapse? It's one of the most common questions I'm asked. Most women don't know where to begin or understand how their body could heal what most doctors say cannot be healed. It all begins with undoing what we have taken on as beliefs. Once we understand we have not been given the truth nor the full picture related to prolapse, we begin to understand what prolapse actually is: a symptom that needs to be tended to in order to resolve. Watch my chat with integrative maternity expert and bestselling author, Kathy Fray, below. Healing prolapse[...]

Our Symptoms Are Our Signs

Our body's symptoms are signs: a call to address the cause of the pain and discomfort. The majority of women plug up the pain so they don't have to feel it. This simply sends a signal to send another symptom, somewhere else in the body. There is no escaping the body's innate wisdom. There is no pill in the history of all pills that can fully address the true roots of any ailment. To truly heal where the symptom is no longer, it is always best address from an holistic perspective. This can be painful, to really look at how we got to the point we're at.[...]

Healing Prolapse Takes Courage

The following is an excerpt from my book, HEALING PROLAPSE: Where to Begin, available here. When someone makes a sweeping statement about pelvic organ prolapse, saying healing isn't possible, it reveals more about the person saying it than the ears listening to it. Let's break it down. The mainstream medical model deals with prolapse by offering solutions to manage it (makes money for the person recommending it) or by cutting organs out (makes money for the person recommending it and the person doing the cutting). If a patient were to heal, income is[...]

JOURNEY WITHIN, Out Soon

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) was one of my crucifixions. Yet, it was also one of my resurrections. It was my pain, but also my blessing. My devastation, but also my hope. Most of all, it was the catalyst to coming to know my authentic self—the real me behind the social masks—and to know and understand my needs: of mind, body and soul.

Essential Oils for Prolapsed Uterus

There are specific oils, which are beneficial for supporting prolapsed uterus

Essential oils have literally been an essential support during my prolapsed uterus healing journey (find my book, Healing Prolapse: Inspired Words for Your Journey Within, here). I'm really not sure where I'd be today if I hadn't have made them part of my daily routine. When we use pure oils, the affect on our emotional, mental and physical states can be profound. The Importance of Wood Oils Last night, I attended a talk by Dr David Hill, Chief Medical Officer of doTERRA. It opened my eyes even further to how Mother Nature can support our bodies to return to balan[...]

Prolapse of the Uterus & My Healing Journey

prolapse of the uterus is a condition that affects thousands of women. However, it is possible to heal naturally.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to heal prolapse of the uterus. I was recently interviewed by healer and intuitive, Rebecca Dettman, for her Soul Doctor Show podcast—specifically for her Womb Worship episode. This was the first time I had spoken publicly about my four-year journey holistically healing one of the Western world's most common health conditions. It's a topic I'm deeply passionate about, particularly as so many women feel that surgery may be the only option to heal what is essentially a body way out of balance. Prolapse of the uterus is a[...]

Why I Didn’t do Physio to Heal Uterine Prolapse

Do you want to heal uterine prolapse? Usually the first suggestion people make—health practitioners and otherwise—when you have a physical condition, is to do something physical to fix it. But what if it isn't always the right choice? When I found myself with second degree uterine prolapse more than five years ago, I knew visiting the physio was not the answer, despite well-meaning family and friends telling me to high tail it pronto to someone who specialised in pelvic floor dysfunction. I knew this deep in my core (probably a reason for that!) and followed[...]

Kimberly Snyder on the Importance of Emotional Wellness

Our emotions are responsible for a lot more than we give them credit for. At the core of emotion creation are our thoughts - the captain of our emotional ship, so to speak. Pay attention to our thoughts, and the emotions they create, and life can literally change course. Ten years ago, I overhauled my diet, becoming raw vegan overnight. Back then, I believed deeply it was the health and wellness cure-all. But, I'm the first to admit, I was wrong. Very wrong. What I didn't factor into this equation? My emotions and the stressful thoughts I'd become accustomed to t[...]
