Before finding me, this client had tried many standard approaches — talking therapy, antidepressants, walking, and exercise — but still felt deeply stuck. A friend had recommended me, and she reached out, telling me honestly:
“I don’t know what you do or what I need, but I feel blocked.”
As I explained my work, she started crying, feeling intuitively that this was the right path. She committed to six sessions with an open mind, driven by hope and, in her own words, desperation.
A C-section 18 months earlier and two IVF pregnancies had left her womb and ovaries both physically and energetically “battered” (the client’s words).
During one of the sessions, she didn’t try to understand what was happening, but could feel it. She reported muscle twitches and popping sensations tracking through her body, as warmth radiated from her womb space. Toward the end, she felt a “bursting” sensation at the top of her right leg. This was followed by the distinct feeling of warm liquid running down the leg and into the air. Later, I explained that I had been working on her heart-womb connection; this resonated deeply.
As our sessions progressed, she began to notice a profound sense of calm and relaxation during our work, rather than the very high energy state she would initially present with, which had little or no sense of direction. Observational intentional touch was enough to induce a state so deep and serene that she reported that returning to full awareness afterwards felt like climbing through thick liquid.
Over time, the client became less reactive, more grounded, and “unblocked” (her words again). She told me after one particular session that she had left with all the energy she had arrived with, but it felt “tamed”. She then went on to have the most productive and focused day.
During our final session, we focused on hands-on physical scar release work for her C-section scar.
Very quickly, the scar transformed from a hard, rigid lump to a soft, pliable area. The change was tangible and immediate. The client even noticed a subtle shift in her “mum shelf,” which was a welcome and exciting surprise! During this session, vivid imagery came to her, particularly visions of water parting. She said she felt this symbolised readiness and forward movement, as if life was opening up and preparing her for the next chapter.
This is what she had to say afterwards…
“Before starting somatic therapy with Sarah, I was struggling with decision paralysis, depression, and chaotic thought patterns that disrupted my daily life. My mind felt clouded, and my ability to function and enjoy life had diminished.
Now, after a transformative series of sessions, I feel calmer, happier, and more present. My ability to make decisions and manage life has vastly improved, and I’ve rediscovered the joy of simply being.”
Clients often find that another noticeable impact of improved pelvic and womb balance is a greater sense of connection to the earth and nature. This can happen as we deepen our relationship with our own bodies and develop a sense of grounding and stability through the legs.
Moving forward, we may then be able to experience a sense of calm when those around may be unsettled, and feel a greater sense of purpose when previously lacking motivation or creativity. Thought processes can become clearer, lymphatic flow improves, pain and discomfort reduce and a sense of general wellbeing increases.
Using skills from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing®, amongst other modalities, we work together to help facilitate the resolution of physical and emotional trauma memories that have become trapped in the whole pelvic region. This helps clients find greater balance and equilibrium as the womb space reconnects to its original power and finds a sense of ease.
