When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Welcome Anastasia Goose,
I've said it before: you have found your way to a very good place! Start with the FAQ section on the homepage of this site. Consider purchasing a copy of Christine's book ("Saving the Whole Woman" by Christine Ann Kent ISBN: 0970144008) - it is out of print but can still be purchased through Amazon.com or Half.com Read through some of the forum posts here. Be sure to read Christine's blogs and especially the forum topic: WHOLE WOMAN FIRE BREATHING.
Curious about your prolapse - especially since you've not had children - what do you have and how severe? - if I'm not being too nosy...
In any case, I hope you have fun with the posture, exercises, etc.
(-:Jean

Book is on the way; horses are looking at me curiously as I pick out their stalls in my new posture and practicing my breathing!!I was told that I have cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse - didn't get into grading it all. Left me thinking THAT was the reason for the squishy feeling and little bulge. I thought it was just me adding unwanted weight and not doing enough crunchies.I am years past menopause that came and went without a single terrible symptom (like it was natural) and I refuse to play "surgical menopause" with new added symptoms. I am not incontinent, yet urodynamic testing was suggested as part of the cure. I love my intimacy with my husband and partner of almost 30 years - certainly don't want to alter that!! Being a gym and health teacher, I thought I had skipped this scene, staying active, eating vegetarian--lots of raw foods, and not using many swear words out loud. Seriously, I guess age and lack of estrogen were the reasons. I have spent my life being held up by that little string for "centered riding" (Swift)and dressage must be where Kegels were invented!! I am truly thankful for the health I have and the avenues that are opening up after minimal research. Let the adventure begin!

Anastasia Goose,
I think it's wonderful that you have such a positive attitude about all this. I know I was devastated at first,and I actually went through a phase when I was afraid of my own body! Just now getting back into yoga (Kundalini) a bit and walking lots. Anyway, I just wanted to caution you about abdominal crunches since they can put a lot of pressure where you don't want it. I'm trying to find gentle exercises (or modifications of traditional exercises) to maintain core strengh without worsening my prolapse. Posture is key - sounds like you know a thing or two about that from your equestrian activities (-:
