Are you fed up from struggling with any of the following?

• pelvic pain
• menstrual issues
• stress incontinence
• feeling ungrounded or uncentered

• low energy
• low libido
• sense of disconnection from body
• lack of sensation in the root

I want to assure you.... the answers you seek are closer than you think!

Now, perhaps more than ever, you are really feeling the brunt of a lot of change and uncertainty. Yet, this is a deeply fertile time where you have the opportunity to really shift the foundation of your being away from the things in our culture designed to keep you from trusting your body.

The goal of our work together is for you to:

+ feel more alignment with your deepest needs + feel more connected to the joys of nature surrounding you + be embodied and centered in your power + learn to release models of power over others + fall confidently into power within and from your highest self + heal your pelvis and feel a sense of balance at the root

Transformational bodywork at the root

for those who are ready to shift.

MY WORK IS A BLEND OF:

* Chiropractic Care as a foundational practice to keep your joints in proper alignment for optimum nerve system balance, with a focus on the structures of the pelvic bowl.

* Holistic Pelvic Care™, an innovative, trauma-informed intravaginal massage, simple breathwork, and subtle yet profound energy work technique to bring balance and presence to the pelvic floor.

* Deep tissue bodywork on the structures surrounding the uterus and ovaries to ensure they are in optimum, healthy alignment within the pelvis.

* Subtle energy medicine bring a sense of vibrancy to your body, health, and life expression.

* Pelvic education to keep you informed about the functions of your body and how to best take care of this sacred space.

As a Certified Reiki Master, it is my practice to bring warmth and presence to all sessions, whether virtual or in-person. Subtle reiki energy is infused in all sessions, which is particularly helpful for those with high stress, sensitivity, or a history of trauma.

Most care plans involve a combination of these modalities,

depending on your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MANY VISITS WILL I NEED?

Our bodies move slowly and it can take time to make lasting changes to deeply held patterns. Chiropractic care is designed to make small adjustments to your system over a period of time to facilitate nervous system balance. This work is designed to release tension and increase function starting at the root of the female body. Energy work offers wellness support to release blockages and feel more grounded in your body. During your detailed Initial Intake, Dr. Danielle will provide you with specific recommendations.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN A PELVIC FLOOR SESSION?

In the first session, we will discuss your history and goals. Then, I will briefly introduce you to the pelvic anatomy with a skeletal model and answer any questions you have before we move on to the physical exam. During the treatment session, the pelvic muscles are assessed intravaginally to determine how the muscles are engaging during a pelvic squeeze (or “Kegel”) followed by techniques such as intravaginal massage, myofascial release, trigger point, breathwork and visualization tools to assist core physical and energetic balance. Each session includes an assessment of the joints and any necessary adjustments. Follow-up sessions begin with a brief re-assessment and then focus primarily on treatment. Each session ends with a review of pelvic self-care.

HOW IS A PELVIC FLOOR SESSION DIFFERENT THAN AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY OB/GYN?

In allopathic medicine, women’s health consists of an exam with a speculum to check for abnormal cervical cells. As a bodyworker and chiropractor, I will ask many of the same questions as your OB/GYN, but our exam and "treatment" differ as I am primarily focused on the positions of the skeletal system and pelvic organs, and tone, texture, and function of the muscles and fascia of the pelvic floor — what I can feel with my hands. I do not do PAP exams — you will see no stirrups in my office! Women often comment on what a relief it is to experience a doctor's visit for this part of the body that does not feel so cold and clinical.

WHAT EFFECTS WILL I NOTICE AFTER A PELVIC FLOOR SESSION?

Many women describe an immediate feeling of a renewed sense of connection and awareness of their pelvic space and more of a sense of being in their body. They also report feeling calm, centered and grounded. Energy and blood flow are increased to the pelvic bowl, and many women report a decrease in overall symptoms and a strengthening of pelvic floor muscle engagement.

PLEASE NOTE: This work is designed to restore physical and energetic balance, which can sometimes bring up emotions stored deep in the body. It may be necessary for a referral to a trained counselor in which case, you will be referred to a trusted specialist. If you have a history of trauma, please be sure to have a current relationship with a counselor.

DO YOU PROCESS INSURANCE?

I am out-of-network with insurance companies. If you receive out-of-network chiropractic benefits, I can provide a “superbill” for reimbursement, which sometimes covers some of this work.

CAN I WORK WITH YOU EVEN IF I AM NOT IN TUCSON?

Absolutely! After working with women in person for over a decade, I have created a Virtual Embodiment Mentorship program -- the Zhiva Method -- for those wanting to work with me virtually. There are even self-led options and group live streams in the accompanying app. In addition, people often come in from out of town for extended sessions, which can also be very powerful. Contact me directly for details around these options.
