Internal Pelvic Balance Courses
Uterine and pelvic balance are intricately connected. Together, they affect sexual health, fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and menopause. In this series of courses you will learn to add balance internally in a holistic approach with a strong emphasis on anatomy and physiology of the ligaments, fascia, and muscles.
foundational courses
Internal Balance
This foundational training teaches the essential approach, knowledge, and skills needed for restoring pelvic and uterine balance during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Introduction to Internal Balance
Learn the foundational inner working of the pelvis and it’s soft tissues. This course delves into the anatomy and physiology of the soft tissues in the pelvis, the variations in bony structures of the pelvis, and the inner working of pelvic joints.
It also discusses neurophysiology in relation to the pelvis, neuroendocrinological influences on the pelvis, the innervation of and within the pelvis, lymphatic system through and around the pelvis, and the biomechanics of the pelvis itself.
prerequisite
This course is for people who are licensed to do internal work.

Assessment Training
This course offers a thorough and in-depth exploration of how to perform an internal assessment, at all phases of life. This course is taught in segments, with video tutorials, printable handouts, anatomical drawings to color in and learn from, and documentation processes for recording and diagnosing the orientation and health of the internal pelvic structures (soft tissues, joints, and bones.)

Internal Balance for Pregnancy
Learn how to restore balance in pregnancy for more comfort (for example: reduce pelvic pain, decrease sciatica, resolve sacral and coccygeal pain, and reduce vaginismus in pregnancy,) and to create space before birth so the baby can more easily navigate the pelvis. Also explore the changes to the soft tissues that occur in pregnancy, and how this will affect and adjust both the assessment and the release work done in pregnancy.

Internal Balance for Birth
There are many situations in birth where internal pelvic releases done gently and with true informed consent can significantly ease birth, and greatly diminish the need for interventions such as inductions, augmentations of labor, epidurals, vacuum, and cesarean births. Learn a gentle approach to restore balance and space intra-vaginally to all five pelvic levels. This can help with: prodromal labor, engagement, PROM, mid-pelvis stalls (with and without epidurals), fetal rotations, and outlet dystocias. It also can help with pain management, restoring symmetrical labor patterns and contraction strength, and improving postpartum healing.

Internal Balance for Postpartum
Postpartum healing is a journey. In this course you will learn to aid women in restoring health to their perineal tissues after tears/episiotomies, scar tissue after suturing, vaginal pain after a poor repair, sacral pain after birth, imbalance in the pelvis after birth, pain in a specific area where the baby got “stuck” in birth, and decreased function or changes in the pelvic floor.

Internal Balance for Solving Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain significantly affects a woman’s ability to function, both in daily life, and more specifically in pregnancy. Pelvic pain includes pain in the sacrum, sacro-iliac joint, the tailbone (coccyx), the symphysis pubis joint, and generalized pain and discomfort that is difficult to localize. This course addresses how to bring balance to women experiencing pelvic pain through internal vaginal balance and healing of the pelvic ligaments, fascia, muscles, bones and joints.

Internal Balance for Vaginismus and Dyspareunia
Vaginismus and dyspareunia are life-altering challenges that significantly affect a woman’s ability to enjoy sexual intercourse or experience intimacy, and can often challenge her own self-identity and partnership. Learn how to work with women experiencing one or both of these challenges, including hands-on internal balance, external pelvic balance, and emotional processing. You’ll also learn how to integrate work for self-care and work with partners, when relevant.

Internal Balance for Post-Hysterectomy
After a hysterectomy, women often experience pelvic discomfort, abdominal discomfort, discomfort with sex, and vaginal discomfort. In this course, you’ll learn why these symptoms occur, how to help women to understand where their uterine ligaments were tied after their hysterectomy, and tools to bring them balance based on their specific situation. This course is intended for people focusing on restoring health and balance specifically to women after a hysterectomy.
