Publisher's Synopsis
Body Conscious Woman is a woman's guide to coming home to her body and accessing her feminine body wisdom. This book is for women who are seeking to connect with and understand their feminine body on a deeper level so that they can rely on their inner guidance to create a life they love. Body Conscious Woman shares the answers to women's questions about topics that are often considered too delicate to talk about. Covering the feminine body across the lifespan, Body Conscious Woman is a companion for women as they move through the transition phases of menstruation, pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and beyond. Body Conscious explores the common challenges women face as they move through these phases, the impact they have on an often already strained mind-body relationship, and offers embodied practices and ways of thinking that support women in whole-body healing.
This book is for women who want more than the western medical approach that offers a limited scope of wellness. Rooted in an understanding that we are more than our physical body, Body Conscious Woman offers an exploration of how our emotional, energetic, and spiritual health impacts our pelvic health, our relationships, our overall wellbeing and the lifestyle we create. Body Conscious Woman respects the multi-layered and dynamic nature of female wellness and the pain that we carry within - offering education, guidance, practices, and alternative perspectives to help women reveal their unique healing path.
Body Conscious Woman is also an excellent resource for practitioners that work with women who want to broaden their knowledge of pelvic health, feminine embodiment and holistic pelvic therapy. Practitioners use Body Conscious Woman as a guide to understanding evidence-based clinical concepts whilst embodying practices that ultimately support them in helping women to improve their wellbeing.
