You Are Not Your Pain: Redefining Yourself Beyond Your Pelvic Floor

If you’ve been living with pelvic floor dysfunction, it can sometimes feel like your entire identity is wrapped up in your pain. It might seem as though every moment of your day is dictated by discomfort, frustration, and limits on what you can do. But let me remind you of something powerful: you are not your pain. You are not defined by your pelvic floor. You are so much more.

Your Pain Is Not Your Identity

It’s easy to get caught in the cycle of believing that your body is broken, or that pain will always be part of your story. But here’s the truth: your body has the incredible capacity to heal when given the right tools and support. Pain might be part of your experience right now, but it doesn’t define who you are, and it doesn’t get to write the ending of your story.

Pelvic floor dysfunction can impact everything – physically, emotionally, and even mentally. It might leave you feeling disconnected from your body, unsure of how to move forward. But healing is possible, and it doesn’t happen in isolation. By addressing not just the symptoms, but your whole self, you can reconnect to who you are beyond the pain.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Healing the pelvic floor isn’t just about isolated exercises or one-size-fits-all treatments. True transformation comes when we take a holistic approach – blending physical, emotional, and mental strategies that allow your body to release tension, rebuild strength, and reconnect to a sense of safety and ease.

Here’s how:

1. Release Work

Stored tension and trauma in the body can hold us in patterns of pain and dysfunction. Through practices like Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), you can gently release long-held tension, calming your nervous system and creating the foundation for healing. TRE has been one of the most transformative tools I’ve brought into my practice – helping women finally access the deep release their bodies have been longing for.

2. Hypopressives for Rebuilding Strength

Hypopressives are an incredible tool for rebuilding your core and pelvic floor strength without putting pressure on already vulnerable areas. This breath-based practice trains your body to move and function in a way that supports natural, functional strength. It’s not about forcing or straining; it’s about restoring balance so you can move and live freely.

3. Mindset Changes

Your mind is just as much a part of healing as your body. Shifting the way you think about your pain and your body can change everything. When you start to believe in your body’s ability to heal, you unlock new possibilities for growth and freedom. Healing isn’t just about fixing the body; it’s about nurturing a compassionate, trusting relationship with yourself.

4. Combining Modalities for True Transformation

No single approach can create lasting change on its own. That’s why I combine multiple modalities in my work: TRE for release, Hypopressives for strength, somatic movement for reconnection, and mindset work for lasting change. Together, these tools address every layer of who you are, so you can rebuild from a place of strength, ease, and confidence.

Has Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Been Quietly Stealing Your Confidence?

Do you leak a little when you laugh, sneeze, or run?

Have you quietly stocked up on pads, hiding them in your underwear drawer, pretending it’s “just a normal part of life”?

Do you avoid jumping on the trampoline with your kids or joining in on a game of chase because you’re worried about accidents?

Have you started noticing something just doesn’t feel right “down there”—a heaviness, a dragging, or discomfort that you can’t ignore?

Do you slip on a pad “just in case” before a workout, silently wondering if this will ever get better?
