Womb Related Support within Somatic Therapy

---

✨ The womb is more than a physical organ:

• It is a center of intuition, creativity, and wisdom
• Offers guidance and clarity 
• The womb is a creative source for  new beginnings, inspiration, possibilities, and it stores emotions, memories, ancestral stories, and wisdom
   

🌿 Why a relationship with your womb space matters:

• Helps bring body and mind into alignment 
• Supports embodiment
• Supports access to your powerful intuition and creativity which is central in menopause phases
   

🌟 With Womb Related Services: 

• You don’t need to know how to connect to your womb on your own.
• You don't have to have your uterus
• I gently guide you in a slow, supportive, and sacred way, helping you at your own pace

A somatic, narrative, and womb-honoring approach before and/or after surgery

This is so sacred to me: I had my own hysterectomy at age 42 after a cervical cancer diagnosis. 

I have created this service as a personal compassion project. 

I believe body-mind-soul care for us is missing here, 

regardless of the reason for the hysterectomy or procedure! - 

I would be so honored to support you. 

Please reach out if this resonates with you. ❤️

Hysterectomy is more than a physical procedure.

For most women, it carries emotional, identity, and spiritual layers—grief, relief, fear, gratitude, confusion, or all of these and more at once.

This offering provides gentle, structured support for women preparing for hysterectomy or integrating the experience afterward. 

The focus is helping the body-mind-soul make sense of the complexity of emotions, sensations and meanings that are attached to a hysterectomy.  

Reduce overwhelm or disconnection with the body during or after this major transition.

Together, we work with:

• somatic awareness and nervous system regulation & response
   
• narrative healing and meaning-making
   
• spiritual and personal resources that already support you
   

A central part of this work may include the creation of a custom therapeutic story, written specifically for you, in collaboration.  

This narrative story is therapeutic - it helps your system balance and find coherence, a type of alignment, that can bring peace and somatic resolve through completion.  

Services may include:

• Two to four sessions, or woven into longer term therapy if desired. Begins with a consultation  
   
• central option to the work - a written narrative (PDF, with optional illustrated storybook format) After our consultation, I draw up a narrative story for your review and collaboration.
   
• Next session the story is read aloud for support and therapeutic integration  (that may include somatic touch work, Womb Reiki, EMDR support, talk therapy, or none of that - all appropriate options will be explained) This might be two sessions or more as desired  
   
• optional follow-up support as desired

• weaving this into the somatic therapy we're already doing, or if you'd like therapy over a longer amount of sessions, this is welcome too
   

This work is deeply supportive care that is designed to help you feel accompanied, resourced, and whole as you move through this chapter. 

Somatic and narrative guidance for therapists and healing practitioners

Many practitioners support clients undergoing hysterectomy and would love a clear, relevant framework of support.  

This professional consultation is designed for:

• Therapists
   
• Reiki and Energy Practitioners
   
• Womb healers and Bodyworkers, Somatic Experiencing Practitioners
   
• Medical or survivorship support professionals, obgyns, gynecological oncologists, primary physicians, nurses, and others
   
• The consultation helps you to plan support for your unique person and her circumstances to move through their hysterectomy with resource
   
• Integrate narrative healing in a way that stays within your scope
   
• Design 1–3 sessions of care that are stabilizing and respectful

• You may decide to refer to me, but that is not my objective
   

Consultations may also include guidance on how to introduce and read a therapeutic narrative 

with a client in a way that supports 

coherence and safety. 

This service is especially helpful when:
 

• your client has a history of reproductive or medical trauma
   
• your client is struggling with a future or past hysterectomy
   
• you want to offer more support without overstepping your role
   

This is a professional consultation, not therapy or supervision, and is intended to strengthen the care you already provide. I'll be clear about my limits, knowledge and scope as well. 

I come to this conversation as a 

somatic psychotherapist, 

a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

as a Reiki practitioner, 

Shamanic Reiki Practitioner 

and Womb Reiki practitioner. 

a survivor of hysterectomy and cervical cancer. 

And every woman's story is completely unique. 

My personal or professional experience does not make me an expert on the client. 

It does help me to begin tracing a responsive, creative and collaborative approach to support.  

Reach out via email if you'd like to schedule. I can be flexible on hours for a zoom or phone consult.

Womb Reiki is a specialty form of Reiki that brings a focus to restoring life energy flow and alignment to your physical and metaphorical womb space, and whole self. 

(Uterus is not required) 

Womb Reiki might support your Somatic Therapy if you: 

Have had a positive experience and familiarity with Reiki sessions in the past, or are interested to try it out. 

Have unresolved trauma related to the womb space: 

difficult birth, losses, abortion, violations, infertility, medical diagnosis, difficulties or procedures; pain, intimacy problem 

When, more broadly, you are wanting to release negative energies that might be preventing you from moving forward or freely in your life

in the form of negative beliefs, painful lingering emotions 

or sensations around past or repeating patterns, 

and you want to break free from those energies

When you are wanting to bring forward new projects, creative ideas into the world, and feel hesitations or blocks   

When you would like to increase access to your intuition

First, I only offer Womb Reiki in the context of Somatic Therapy. (Not stand alone) 

I have explored offering Womb Reiki outside of clinical therapy as a stand alone option.  

I have concluded that Womb Reiki is powerful, and the majority of the womb reiki techniques that I have learned actually support trauma resolution, in similar ways as Somatic Touch Therapy. 

Nervous system regulation, and allowing the mind-body-spirit to move through waves of activation, release and integration is a profoundly healing body-mind-spirit approach.  This happens in both Womb Reiki and Somatic Touch Work. 

And to provide it responsibly, I would love to have all my "tools" - SE therapy and EMDR for example - to support you as you are on your journey of growth and transformation. 

I am trauma informed and trained -and want to be able to freely provide the fullest range of support that I'm capable of offering. 

To maintain integrity as a therapist, even outside of "therapy" I have ethics to follow that ensure I don't incidentally practice therapy without a license. I take that seriously. 

So, after mentorship, education and aligning with my own womb wisdom and intuition, the 'somatic therapy' container is where I feel safest to keep YOU safest and supported well. 

The commonality between somatic touch work and womb reiki is the power and magic of co-regulation - an attuned presence that is here for you and responsive to you. 

Reach out if you are interested! 

It's going to look similar to Somatic Touch Work sessions, with more holistic options and language that may be helpful to you. 

It is provided either virtually, in a chair, or on a message table. 

You are fully clothed, and if laying down, laying on your back if comfortable.  

Contact can be 

hands-on (over clothes and not intimate areas) 

or hovering hands. 

I might encourage your own self contact, as in one hand resting on your heart space and one on your low belly womb space. 

All touch contact is optional, even your own. 

I will share more in person, and learn about your comfort level and how I can support you in a way that fits best for you. 

Again - Womb Reiki is not imperative to reach therapy goals; I offer it as a supportive approach within somatic therapy when it's a great fit for you and serves your goals.
