PELVIC CARE

PELVIC CARE 

LISBON · IN PERSON

The 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 kind of care

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 invisibly 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 has been guarded for years finally gets to let go.

THE SCAR HOLDS MORE THAN TISSUE

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 supports greater comfort, mobility, sensation, and ease in 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 work is about restoring trust between you and the part of your body that's been holding the story.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Through surgery, injury, birth, trauma, or years of discomfort, some places become somewhere we stop visiting. This work helps restore relationship, sensation, and trust.

HOW IT'S HELD

HOW 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.
