PELVIC CARE & SCAR TISSUE REMEDIATION

PELVIC CARE & SCAR TISSUE REMEDIATION 

LISBON · IN PERSON  · ALL GENDERS

Your body has a history. Let's get curious about it.

Maybe you have a scar from surgery, childbirth, or an injury that still feels different years later. Maybe you've noticed tension, numbness, discomfort, or changes in sensation around your pelvis. Or perhaps there's an area of your body you've never really had the opportunity to explore.

Pelvic Care & Scar Tissue Remediation is a hands-on, consent-based approach to exploring your body's tissues, sensations, and relationship with touch.

We work with curiosity, patience, and plenty of communication. There's no particular sensation you need to experience or outcome your body needs to achieve.

WHAT MIGHT BRING YOU HERE?

  • C-sections, hysterectomies, abdominal surgery, breast surgery, and other procedures that have left areas feeling tight, tender, numb, or unfamiliar.

  • Episiotomy scars, perineal tears, changes in pelvic sensation, or getting to know your body again after childbirth.

  • Exploring areas of tightness, sensitivity, guarding, or discomfort, including experiences that arise during sex, movement, or everyday activities.

  • Areas of the body that feel numb, overly sensitive, disconnected, or simply different from how you remember them.

  • Exploring scars and surrounding tissue after accidents, injuries, or other experiences that have changed your relationship with a particular part of your body.

  • Getting curious about how you experience sensation, touch, arousal, and pleasure, especially if something has changed following surgery, birth, or an injury.

  • Becoming more familiar with your pelvic anatomy, recognizing sensations, and exploring areas of your body that may have received very little attention.

  • Exploring your relationship with your body before or after experiences such as childbirth or surgery, according to what is appropriate for you.

what it is

PELVIC CARE & SCAR TISSUE REMEDIATION

This is hands-on, hands-in pelvic and abdominal care, for all genders and all bodies. Scar Tissue Remediation is the method underneath it.

The work restores comfort, mobility, and sensation to places that may have felt painful, numb, restricted, or disconnected for years. It's possible through skilled touch, choice, and enough safety for the body to stop guarding what it no longer needs to protect.

At its heart, this is about restoring trust between you and the part of your body that's been holding the story.

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN A SESSION?

  • We might work with a scar and the tissue surrounding it, exploring how it feels, how it moves, and what sensations arise through gentle, consent-based touch.

    This could involve scars from surgery, childbirth, injuries, or other experiences, whether they're recent and appropriately healed or many years old.

  • We may explore areas around the abdomen, hips, pelvis, and surrounding tissues through hands-on touch and body awareness.

    You can tell me what you're noticing, ask questions, request a different pressure, or choose to stop whenever you wish.

  • Where appropriate and explicitly agreed upon, sessions may include external or internal pelvic touch.

    We can explore anatomy, sensation, preferences, and how you experience touch in different areas.

    Internal work is never an expectation or requirement, and we can work entirely externally if that's what you prefer.

  • Sometimes we'll slow down and pay attention to what happens in your body when we approach a particular area.

    We might notice changes in breath, muscle tension, sensation, emotions, or how you feel about receiving touch.

    There's no need to interpret everything that comes up. We can simply become curious about it.

  • We might practice recognizing and communicating your preferences around touch, including how to ask for something different, change your mind, or say no.

    These can be particularly meaningful experiences if you've previously felt that you had little choice over what happened to your body.

  • Depending on what we've explored, I may introduce practices you can continue on your own, such as gentle self-massage, scar awareness, breathing, movement, or guided touch.

    The intention is to help you become more familiar with your body and develop your own relationship with these practices outside our sessions.

    These are possibilities, not a checklist. Every session is shaped around you, and nothing needs to be forced.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

This work is collaborative, and consent is central to everything we do.

We begin by discussing what you'd like to explore, your history, and any questions or concerns you have.

Any hands-on or internal work is discussed and explicitly agreed upon beforehand. You'll always know what I'm proposing, why I'm suggesting it, and what your choices are.

Touch is always one-way, from practitioner to client. You're never expected or invited to touch me in return.

I also wear gloves for all hands-on touch, regardless of which part of the body we're working with.

For me, the gloves represent an important professional boundary. I'm here in service to you, and the touch is entirely for your experience, exploration, and learning.

You can change your mind, ask for something different, pause, or stop at any point.

Some sessions may involve more hands-on work, while others focus on conversation, awareness, or guided self-care practices.

  • I came because of painful penetration and stayed because of everything else that started moving. I had no idea how much tension and guarding my body had been carrying. The work was precise, respectful, and far more impactful than I expected.

    Sarah R.

  • I walked in convinced my hip was the issue. Amanda helped me see the bigger picture. My psoas was very tight which was straining my upper back and neck. I had connected that to the pain. For the first time in years, I felt relief.

    Maria J.

  • My C-section scar had always felt numb. Amanda helped me understand what was happening in the tissue instead of just trying to accept it. Over time, the pulling sensation eased, I could move more comfortably, and the area no longer felt numb and distant. For the first time since my surgery, it felt like part of my body again.

HOW TO GET STARTED

  • 01 / LET'S HAVE A CHAT

    We start with a free introductory call. You can tell me a little about what brings you here, ask questions, and get a better sense of how I work.

  • 02 / LET'S TRY A SESSION

    If you're interested in continuing, we book a paid introductory session in Lisbon. This is an opportunity to experience the work firsthand and see whether working together feels like a good fit for both of us.

  • 03 / LET'S WORK TOGETHER

    f we're both happy to continue, we move into a minimum eight-session package.

    I work this way because developing trust, exploring changes in the body, and building familiarity with touch takes time. I want us to have the space to explore without rushing toward a particular outcome.
