Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is More Common than You Think

It is estimated that 30-40% of all women will struggle with some form of pelvic floor dysfunction in their lifetime, this is a HUGE number!

And yet we suffer in silence. We are embarrassed by the symptoms, and we often feel broken or ashamed. It is often very difficult to get the help and support you need which can be devastatingly isolating.

Your Pelvic Floor is Directly Related to Resilience

Unlocking the natural and healthy movements of our pelvic floor helps us heal from pelvic floor dysfunction and build our emotional and mental resilience at the same time. It is a gentle but powerful process that for some women is life changing.

Pelvic Floor Therapist & Educator: Donna Brooks

Donna Brooks - Yoga for Parkinson's Northampton

Hi, my name is Donna Brooks. I had a prolapse issue that worsened after each of my two pregnancies and menopause.

With over 35 years of experience in bodywork and yoga therapy, I feel confident that I can overcome any physical ailments that come my way, but this was a challenge!

In the journey to healing my own pelvic floor issues, I saw firsthand the effectiveness of embodiment and a holistic approach.

I am now passionately dedicated to sharing these gentle yet immensely powerful tools and shining a light on the conversation about pelvic floor dysfunction in our communities.

Read what some participants have had to say:

She opened my mind to a bigger picture in the difficulties I'm having; it is a view that makes me feel more empowered in helping my situation.”
 

“I appreciate the emphasis on how the pelvic floor is related to the movement of the whole body and integrated with breathing and overall ease of being.”

 “Donna's knowledge and ability to teach from her heart.”

“The stressing of fluidity in the body as well as not only focusing on the pelvic floor. I have found that such focus makes me feel more stressed about my condition.”

I love Donna. She explains well. She’s non judgmental and she gives ideas on how to move no matter what one’s limitations are.”
