PELVIC CARE
PELVIC CARE
LISBON · IN PERSONThe surgery happens. The birth happens. The injury happens. The wound closes. And everyone assumes the story is over. Most scars never get followed up with any care at all.
A scar is not only on the surface. Tissue that has been cut, torn, or stitched keeps communicating with the body around it. It can attach to nerves, fascia, and organs. It can dull sensation, restrict movement, and quietly shape how at home you feel in your own body, long after the wound looks closed.
This is the work of coming back to that part of yourself. Slowly, with consent, with skilled and specific touch, so that what's been guarded for years finally gets to let go.
where this sits
Somatic Bodywork is where you expand your capacity for pleasure. This is where you restore it. If pain, numbness, scarring, or years of guarding are in the way, you come here first. Same skilled, consent-based touch, but the work is repair before it's expansion. When sensation and trust return, the door to pleasure opens on its own.
what it isPELVIC 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.

✓ Touch begins to feel safe. ✓ Sitting, moving, and exercising feel easier.✓ Sex becomes MORE ENJOYABLE.✓ Sensation returns.✓ movement and exercising feels easier and less restricted.✓ The area stops feeling like a separate, sensitive place.✓ Pleasure becomes something your body no longer has to guard against.
HOW IT'S HELDHOW THE WORK IS HELD
-
75-minute sessions via Zoom or in-person in Lisbon. Held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your chosen pace (three or six month container)
This work unfolds over time. Patterns built through years of repetition rarely shift in a single session. The container allows for practice, integration, support, and change that lasts.
-
Gentle, hands-on work with scar tissue, fascia, and the tissue surrounding the pelvis and abdomen. We work with restriction, numbness, tension, and areas that have become disconnected after surgery, birth, injury, or trauma.
-
Every step is consent-based and adapted to your body, your goals, and your pace.
-
This may include self-massage, scar care, breathwork, movement, awareness exercises, or guided touch practices. The invitation is to support your body continue integrating the work in everyday life, not just while you're on the table.
-
Email support for questions, reflections, challenges, and discoveries that arise between sessions. The work does not stop when you end the session.
FROM PROTECTION TO POSSIBILITY
THE ARC OF THE WORK-
01 / Pre-care
Before we work with the tissue, we build the conditions for safety. We establish boundaries, consent, pacing, and the support your nervous system needs to stay present throughout the process.
-
02 / we meet the tissue
Through hands-on pelvic and scar tissue work, we begin listening to the places that have been holding, protecting, compensating, or disconnecting. Nothing is forced. The body sets the pace.
-
03 / let your body guide
Sometimes the work stays entirely physical. Sometimes sensation, emotion, memory, or protective patterns emerge alongside the tissue itself. Whatever appears is met with choice, support, and your full agency intact.
-
04 / Integration
The goal is not simply a softer or more invisible scar. It is a different relationship with the area itself. We support that process through self-care practices, awareness, and integration between sessions.
