Presenting problem – bladder prolapse
We can end up with so many unsolved issues that a few needles and herbs are MAY ‘work’ with – I have been on the cutting edge of WHAT NEXT – and here is some of the outcomes – that are instantly transferable – anyone can .. Birthing can be a bit rigorous. . First question I ask women. ‘Do you remember peeing before you started to push?’ (IF ONLY midwives were WITH women, not data recording focused)
Here is a standard query to a holistic multi modality transformative energy body worker as myself. .
‘HELP! I am 7 months postpartum from my 3rd birth, I have a grade 3 bladder prolapse and scar tissue from a complicated tear from my second birth. The prolapse is annoying and I desperately want to try to at least improve it’.
3 babies in 5 years – wants more. Youngest 8 months old still breastfeeding. Baby 1 waters broke at 34 weeks. 7 cm dilated on arrival to hospital. Unexpected footling breech, so C section performed with nurse holding bub in her with his feet outside – and pulled back in and out through mum’s belly.
RAW vegan for years
Herself not vaccinated as her sister had a reaction – her children not also. Is hooked on cold, raw and sweet – has a large (cold) green smoothie for breakfast, large salad for lunch and roasted veggies and large salad for tea. (at least there are roasted veggies at night now) – lives in old central South Island of NZ. 2 miscarriages, She floods with cycle and is weakened by bleeding. And only has eaten vegan for 10 years +++
Ist birth – 2 hour labour – then C section, easy recovery
2nd – prodomal labour 2 weeks, VBAC posterior, brow presentation, extensive tearing, stitching. 6 hours finally
(She experienced C section scar pain – so ended up in hospital – not a home birth this time).
3rd – 3 hours – perfect. 1-2 cm cervical tear and retained membranes.
Last pregnancy such low BP (60/40) that she fainted at least 10 times daily.
This session was an amazing example of how easy it is when we do the right thing – in sequence
This was a 2 hour session – transformed her body
What to do? Rescue her Yang Qi, undo what the scar is still doing to her and raise her bladder
CHECKERS – Started by getting her to do a perineal pull-up’ and taking tongue pictures.
These are for her to see/feel what we are doing – so she can be more engaged in this interactive process.
Cool bum, belly OK. (what does that mean to me? HOW am I to get her Yang Qi/ the Spleen Qi to hold anything if it is in direct competition with all that stored cold – environmental and choice of intake.
CHECKERS – I began as usual by initially running my finger nail over the scar, the skin above and below. So she could evaluate changes. Stuck Belly Blood points made the usual stunning difference to the skin and Qi flow. (Also tongue)
ACTION – Cup on navel for 30 minutes, moxa pyramid on salt, on ginger, on navel x 3. (How to is in an allied online course)
ACTION – Stuck Belly Blood protocol and left awhile – all the time tongue improving and ‘pull up’ getting substantially better.
She was very happy that she could feel anything:
1 – After leaving needles for Stuck Belly Blood
(This in itself is a compilation of what I played/developed further with after watching Kiiko in 1994 and beyond and took it further – in a very different direction).
2 – Clear what is stuck elsewhere – my mirrored scar work. – started needling all the sore points under neck – after having her turn head side to side so she could feel the difference.
Immediately did – neck was so much looser – not that she thought that she had a problem. ..
3 – ACTION and CHECKERS – Needles in scar and the pull-up so much better.
4 – ACTION – Back needling and my usual Gentling Way protocols used. (Many of the Mercier inspired moves).
5 – She felt an inner lifting up happen when the sacral press was done.
RESULTS – Sent off to pee: she felt as though it was a complete pee: not storing any afterwards.
Not able to feel her vagina full of bladder organ any more.
ACTION – Put her now on the perineal steamer. She was in awe of these shifts
ACTION I showed her the changes in belly sensation and then needled the actual scar. This time she felt it was normal – from not being able to discern if it was feeling at all. Felt warmer. Whilst needles in her back/gluts – said she hadn’t felt like this since before the boys arrived.
ACTION – I finished with my version of the Mercier belly moves – in which she felt her bladder lift up out of her vagina and go back into position.
Had I only done this as Dr Jen Mercier teaches – I doubt she would have been FIXED in one session!
***Her homework***
1 – Stop ‘breaking’ herself
To be off all cold, raw and sweet fluids and foods. No wandering about with bare feet, no cold exposure – no sitting on cool loo seat even.
2 – Hopefully start eating animal fat – explained how we get the hormones made. BUTTER at least.
3 – Faja to be worn ‘you want to walk straighter with this on’ – also noticed she was even stronger in her belly now.
4 – Perineal steaming – being aware that conception more is likely.
Belly self care taught, she left looking/feeling spectacular . Faja placed and left wearing it. She said amazed – . . .‘You have given me my life back’.
The world of women really needs so many more people helping out – she traveled nearly 5 hours to see me whilst I was in my NZ hideaway. So many do not know that the physio and all that one modality offer is NOT enough – this fusion of all I have worked with over decades is magic. She wanted and expected so much more than was on offer. . . She was told by her obstetrician that she could have a hysterectomy when she had had enough children – she said – “but it is my BLADDER’ – and he said – ‘we can tidy it all up when we are in there!’ Not good enough – she was walking around with her bladder feeling as though it was always in her vagina – and on leaving – it was not. TWO HOURS WITH ME. She could feel her vaginal tone returning in the combo. I saved the most obscure move for last.
On her chest? Yes – lymph moves, move Qi . . When I did this – the look on her face!
There was so much more strength in her ‘pull-up!’
1 – Several days later – she was as she left me – still perfect!
I reminded her that in amongst ‘cooking from scratch’,home schooling and being a stay in the house all day mum with three children under five years old she had to do her own personal homework.
Very important to not get cold – ever . . Loo seat – needs a cover . . . And also not even walking on cool surfaces (Kidney1 – sole of foot ) Or still eat her usual diet of sweet/cool/raw. She wants more children – she will need more in her tank!
2 – Three weeks later
I was surprised (as she could only come once). Her bladder is still fine – a wee bit dropped – but still way better – and so much more energy!
All her organs are back tucked away where they are supposed to be!
3 – Two Months later
‘I can not recommend Heather enough. She has changed my life! I was diagnosed with a stage 3 bladder prolapse after the birth of my 3rd baby. It affected every aspect of my life, and I was so embarrassed and upset about it. After seeing Heather, I can’t notice it much at all anymore, (this was instant). I have none of the symptoms I had. I feel like a new woman! I can not thank her enough for fixing me!’
She will still be a vegan likely – thought hopefully eating less cold and raw. She lives in a very cold place. She is still breastfeeding her under one year old and is intending to have more children. Update – she conceived again, and had a massive relapse as she had not told me that she was breastfeeding all three of her children – and as a vegan, with nothing left in her tank, she fainted. The third time, into the coffee table and really stuffed her back up – and could not pee. At 12 weeks pregnant, in a mess. I also fixed this – whilst pregnant and she had another easy natural birth.
After reading this – WOULD YOU LIKE ALSO TO BE A MAGICIAN?
Be part of this Gentling Way?? Maybe reach out if you want to know more??
See what Heather’s Gentling Way work can do . . Combining any and all tricks that wise women can come up with.
A PROCESS – first we work on SELF so we are at least aware of the wise woman’s ways, and the hidden Modern Miss resistances that our inner self puts up when radical changes are required. We clear, protect and strengthen us FIRST – as we are to meet some interesting captives as we release wombs.
YOU CAN FROM HOME IF NEEDS BE
(I FIGURE WE ARE HEADED INTO NOBODY GOES ANYWHERE TERRITORY)
COURSE – Reconnecting Bao and Dai Mai – What is covered?
NOT ONLY ABOUT THE MOVES – OR THE PROTOCOL – OR THE NEEDLES . .
This is for serious students of life. It is a combination of master – apprentice – as well as an inner personal retreat. FIRST you go through the journaling/undoing/creating a personal tool kit. As well as undertaking my Transformative Healing package for instant application in your clinic – whilst being mentored fortnightly sessions online. With weekly online catch ups – hard cases as needed.

ONLINE – PART 1
Take onboard the HEALING YOURSELF COURSE.
As with the initial Arvigo courses. No one wanting the professional kudos gained by undertaking the ‘moves’ training saw the point – till they were also put into an initiation like situation. Where women’s ways of knowing were shared. In 2015, I went from being an Arvigo Self Care teacher, to adding in all my ways and then my Self Discovery/Gentling Trauma Relief, the Healing the Wounded Healer. We, the ones tasked with helping MUST undo some of our own STUCKNESS. Surrendering into solving ourselves, before taking on the newer deeper ‘crud’ that must be transformed in this heartful hands-on component of gentling caring.
The entry HEALING YOURSELF COURSE is designed to shift the panicked STUCK in the dark space person (imagine you are in a time where you were overwhelmed) back into the Light – hope and love abounding. Whether you are up to date in this inner journey when we begin the practical (whenever we can) the TEN online extra bonuses are mostly practicals THAT ALL WORK – and are central to my empowering women as the one above. You can also changing your life, as this is women centred. Reclaim YOU. The 10 online preparatory courses are for instant application. The purpose is for YOU to take on board the wise ways of many cultures imbued with my five decades of discovering what works in this context, for women who have been overdoing it – for all their lives. as someone who works with trauma all day -you also are likely somewhat ‘burnt out’ and need to go back to what women shared in Red Tents and the like. Community. I will lead this 6 week intensive as daily you in the hour needed to undo yourself. This is intensive. As when we get together – and how? What with the fuel situation i am not sure – I will be up in Far North Queensland, f I am not traveling the length of the country – so it is possible that you can make it up here for the practical – OR we do it online as we had to experientially learn in the shut down/in/out years . . It is possible and these women call us – we all need to upskill.
PRACTICAL – PART 2
It seems that we (Mid March 26) now possibly will not be not traveling.
We can build community online. . and if needed – take the practical there also. OR you come to me.
These are experiential, intimate – maximum 6 students
In my Far North Qld hideaway, (Winter break for you) if me driving south as planned is impossible. The fuel situation may not allow.
Perth in mid November is the other option – all fly there – again – if fuel situation permits. Possibly Chch in NZ in spring again – dependent upon . .
