Women Often Seek WombCare Support For
WombCare sessions support women experiencing:
• painful or irregular periods
• pelvic tension or congestion
• fertility challenges
• postpartum recovery
• scar tissue after surgery or birth
• digestive stagnation or bloating
• hormonal transitions such as perimenopause
Many women first seek this work when symptoms become difficult to ignore.
But ideally, pelvic care would begin long before symptoms appear.
For most of history, women received regular care for their bodies through massage, herbal bathing, rest, and hands-on tending from experienced women in their communities. This kind of support helped maintain circulation, tissue mobility, and connection to the body.
Today, many women only seek care once discomfort becomes significant. Modern healthcare systems are often designed to respond once symptoms become severe.
WombCare offers an opportunity to return to a more preventative approach, tending to the pelvic tissues, supporting circulation, and maintaining awareness of the body before imbalance becomes chronic.
Some women come with specific concerns, while others simply want to stay connected to their bodies and support long-term pelvic health.
Both reasons are valid.
Pelvic health is not only about solving problems, it is also about maintaining vitality and awareness throughout every stage of a woman’s life.
"For years, I struggled with chronic period pain that nothing seemed to help. After working with Jenel, I experienced a transformation I never thought possible." D.P
"Jenel’s care was a game-changer for my postpartum scar. Her gentle approach helped me heal both physically and emotionally. I feel whole again." Britt
What happens in Session?
Each session is tailored to the individual woman and begins with a conversation about your health history, current concerns, and what you hope to receive from the work. From there, the session unfolds at a pace that respects your comfort, boundaries, and the needs of your body.
WombCare sessions combine hands-on bodywork with gentle education so women can better understand their bodies and continue supportive practices at home.
Sessions may include:
• Abdominal and Pelvic Myofascial Release
Gentle hands-on work that supports the fascia and connective tissues of the abdomen and pelvis. This can help encourage circulation, tissue mobility, and relaxation in areas that often hold tension.
• Fascial Unwinding and Tissue Mobility Work
Slow, attentive bodywork that allows the tissues to release patterns of holding or restriction. Many women notice improved comfort and greater ease of movement in the pelvis and lower back.
• Uterine and Organ Awareness
Subtle hands-on work that helps bring awareness to the natural positioning and movement of the pelvic organs. This work focuses on supporting the surrounding tissues and encouraging healthy mobility in the pelvic space.
• Pelvic Diaphragm Support
Gentle work supporting the pelvic floor and the connective tissues at the base of the pelvis. This area plays an important role in organ support, breathing coordination, and overall pelvic stability. Sessions may include techniques that help restore awareness, relaxation, and balance in the pelvic floor.
• Breast and Chest Tissue Work
Hands-on work supporting the fascia and connective tissues of the chest and breast area. This may help encourage circulation, lymphatic flow, breathing mechanics, and overall balance between the upper body and pelvis.
• Intra-Oral (Inner Mouth) Fascial Work
Subtle work within the mouth focusing on the fascia of the jaw and palate. The fascial system connects from the jaw through the throat, diaphragm, and into the pelvic floor, and supporting mobility in these tissues can influence patterns of tension held throughout the body.
• Scar Tissue Support
Gentle work around areas of scar tissue from surgeries, cesarean birth, or other procedures. Supporting mobility in these tissues can help restore comfort and improve tissue function.
• Breath and Nervous System Regulation
Guided breathing and relaxation techniques that help calm the nervous system and encourage deeper connection to the pelvic bowl and abdomen.
• Self-Care Practices for Home
Practical guidance and simple techniques women can use between sessions to support pelvic circulation, mobility, and body awareness.
All WombCare sessions involve external bodywork focused on the abdomen, pelvis, and surrounding fascial structures in a calm and respectful setting. Any specialized techniques are always discussed beforehand and only performed with clear consent.
The intention of this work is not to force change, but to create the conditions where the body can soften, restore balance, and reconnect with its natural rhythms.
FAQ Section
Is Wombcare Hands-in work?
In some situations, deeper pelvic work may be discussed as part of ongoing care. This type of work is never part of an initial appointment and is only considered after time, trust, and a clear understanding of a woman’s needs and comfort level have been established.
Can wombcare help painful periods?
Hands-on pelvic work may support circulation, fascial mobility, and nervous system regulation that influence menstrual comfort.
Is this work appropriate during pregnancy?
Yes, sessions can be adapted for pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
The Philosophy of WombCare
For most of history, women received regular care for their bodies through simple tending — massage, herbal bathing, rest, and the support of experienced women in their communities.
Pelvic care was not considered unusual or specialized. It was simply part of maintaining a woman’s health over time.
Modern healthcare systems are often designed to respond once symptoms become severe. While this kind of care is important when needed, it leaves little space for the everyday tending that supports long-term wellbeing.
WombCare returns to the older rhythm of preventative tending, supporting circulation, mobility, and awareness within the pelvic bowl.
When the tissues of the pelvis move well and receive healthy circulation, women often experience greater comfort, vitality, and connection to their bodies.
Ideally, this type of care would simply be part of a woman’s life, not something reserved for when there is a major concern. Just as we care for our teeth, muscles, and overall wellbeing, the pelvis also benefits from periodic attention and support.
Some women come with specific concerns such as menstrual discomfort, postpartum recovery, fertility challenge, or scar tissue. Others come simply to maintain balance and awareness in their bodies.
Both approaches are welcome.
In many cases, women choose to receive this work seasonally, allowing time throughout the year to check in with their bodies, release tension, and maintain pelvic health before problems develop.
WombCare is not about fixing something that is broken.
It is about tending to the body in a thoughtful and supportive way over time.
Training & Influences in Jenel's work
WombCare is informed by many years of hands-on experience working with women’s bodies. As a Registered Massage Therapist, I bring a strong foundation in anatomy, fascia, and therapeutic bodywork to this work.
Over the past 15 years I have worked closely with thousands of bodies, developing a deep understanding of how connective tissue, breath, posture, and daily movement patterns influence the pelvis and surrounding structures.
This work draws from a range of bodywork and women’s health traditions, including:
• myofascial release and structural bodywork
• pelvic and abdominal therapy approaches
• Beaudoin Bodywork principles
• traditional abdominal and pelvic care practices
• somatic and nervous system awareness work
My approach also integrates emerging perspectives from fields such as Fascia Research, Circadian Biology, and Quantum Biology, which explore how connective tissue, light, and biological rhythms influence overall health.
Because of this background, WombCare sessions are grounded in both traditional women’s care and contemporary anatomical understanding of the body.
I continue to study women’s health, pelvic physiology, and bodywork techniques so that the care I offer remains thoughtful, informed, and responsive to the women I work with.
Few practitioners combine formal therapeutic bodywork training with traditional women’s pelvic care, which allows this work to be approached with both sensitivity and anatomical understanding.
What Women Often Notice
Every woman’s body and experience is different, but many women notice meaningful shifts after receiving pelvic and abdominal bodywork.
Because the pelvis is deeply connected to circulation, breath, posture, and the nervous system, even small changes in tissue mobility can influence how the body feels day to day.
Women often report:
• reduced pelvic tension or discomfort
• improved menstrual comfort
• increased awareness of pelvic muscles and breath
• greater ease in the abdomen, hips, and lower back
• improved circulation and warmth in the pelvic area
• feeling more connected to their body
Some women notice changes immediately, while for others the effects unfold gradually as the body continues to integrate the work over the following days.
For women receiving multiple sessions, the work often becomes a way of checking in with the body and maintaining pelvic health over time, rather than simply addressing a specific issue.
The goal of WombCare is not to force the body to change, but to create conditions where the tissues can soften, circulation can improve, and the body can return to a more natural state of balance.

Yoni steaming—also called vaginal steaming—is an old practice found in many cultures where warm herbal steam is used externally around the vulva and perineum. In WombCare, I use pelvic steaming as a ritual of warmth, circulation, and clearing, not as a replacement for medical treatment.
A typical steam session may:
-
Encourage pelvic circulation and relaxation
-
Support post-bleed “clean up” and feelings of stagnation
-
Offer soothing warmth for tension around the vulva, perineum, and sacrum
-
Create a quiet, ceremonial pause to listen to your womb
-
Follow up resources and optional add-on WombCare Bodywork session
Our herbal allies
Herbal blends are chosen based on your history, current cycle, and intentions.
When appropriate and safe sessions may be included in a custom blend, always with clear discussion of benefits and cautions.
All steams are external only, with careful attention to temperature and timing. You remain draped and covered, and we stop immediately if anything feels too hot or uncomfortable.
When yoni steaming may be considered
-
during postpartum
-
For chronic feelings of pelvic “cold,” congestion, or stagnation
-
Around cycle changes (first bleed after birth, returning cycles, perimenopause)
-
As part of a WombCare day for integration after pregnancy release, if safe and appropriate
When yoni steaming is not appropriate
-
During pregnancy
-
With heavy active bleeding or unexplained pelvic pain
-
With acute infection, fever, or open vulvar wounds
-
When your medical provider has advised against heat or steam
You’re always encouraged to check in with your primary care or midwifery team before adding new practices & of course above all yourself!

Would this support healing pregnancy loss? When birth and death occur simultaneously, the experience is often one of both ecstatic connection and unquenchable loss at the same time. In its wake, an ancient grief pours forth seeking acknowledgement, expression and healing. If this has been your experience, you don’t have to feel alone. Honouring this grieving and healing process through massage that incorporates plant and spiritual medicine, a beautiful rebozo (shawl) ritual, abdominal, womb massage or Holistic Pelvic Care is a gentle and nurturing way of creating space for your self-care and vulnerability. Jenel’s compassionate touch and cocooning process will guide you through this pregnancy loss healing. Through respectful ceremony Jenel will help you to honour this sacred and emotionally stressful time and move forward into a new rhythm.
Is WombCare safe during every part of my cycle? WombCare can be adapted to all phases of the life & menstrual cycle of women. Some people prefer gentler work during menstruation, while others find it supportive. If you are actively bleeding, pregnant, or experiencing acute symptoms, the session will be adjusted accordingly. Safety and comfort always come first.
Will I receive education or guidance as part of my session? Yes. Education is woven into sessions as needed, including pelvic anatomy, cycle awareness, posture, breath mechanics, and nervous system regulation. Understanding your body is part of the healing.
Are treatments covered by insurance plans? Yes any "massage therapy" treatments can be direct billed. Integrative Pelvic Care, Cherish Sessions, Holisitic Containers are only partialy covered.
Is WombCare suitable for someone with a trauma history? Yes. This work is trauma-informed, consent-based, and paced slowly. You are always in control of what is included or excluded in a session. Touch is never assumed. Everything is discussed beforehand, and consent is ongoing - meaning it can change at any time. Many people with a history of pelvic, birth, or medical trauma find this approach supportive because it prioritizes safety, choice, and nervous system regulation.
Can WombCare help with prolapse or pelvic organ descent? WombCare does not “fix” prolapse, but it can support pelvic alignment, fascial tone, breath mechanics, and nervous system regulation, all of which influence how the pelvis functions and feels. Many people find this work helpful in reducing symptoms, improving body awareness, and feeling more supported in their pelvic space.
How soon after childbirth can I begin WombCare? External womb and pelvic support can begin early postpartum, depending on how your body is healing. Internal work is typically considered after initial tissue healing and medical clearance, but every postpartum body is different. Postpartum WombCare is gentle, restorative, and focused on supporting recovery rather than “bouncing back.”
What can I do at home between sessions to support healing? You may be given simple practices such as breathwork, gentle movement, self-touch, rest strategies, or awareness exercises to support integration between sessions. Healing happens between appointments, the session is one part of the process.
