Integral Pelvic Therapy Utrecht & Amsterdam

Integral Pelvic Therapy® (IPT) is a holistic form of bodywork developed to restore physical and emotional health in the pelvic area where many women experience tension, pain or numbness as well as emotions like sadness, anger, shame or fear. Stress, sexual or medical trauma, boundary violation, birth, miscarriage/abortion, fertility difficulties or abdomen surgery impact our pelvic area. Often our body expresses what we can’t feel or communicate.

With IPT you will experience time after time what it is like to actually be in control of what is happening to you. You will be invited over and over to sense and express your ‘yes’ or ‘no’, over every touch. Healing happens when we are and feel safe. As a result you will better feel and express what your body wants or doesn’t want, allowing you to be more relaxed and at home in your pelvic area. Many women report a decrease of painful sensations, a feeling of homecoming in their body and an increased capacity for sensuality and pleasure.
