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.

After surgery
Hi Merri
Welcome to the site, and glad you are recovering well.
Merri, Wholewoman was developed by Christine Kent after she had surgery herself, which resulted in some unexpected, negative body changes. Developing Wholewoman techniques has been the subsequent saviour of her health. In doing her research Christine realised that her surgery had permanently changed the way her body worked and she has had to work very hard to get her body to work with what is left of its natural pelvic structures, and teach it to move naturally again, despite the surgical changes which kind of work against it.
However, every woman is different in the way her body changes after surgery, and you will be the only person who will be able to find out the answer to your own question. I hope you can get some benefit from it.
First go to the homepage, www.wholewoman.com and check out the FAQ's. You can get a much deeper understanding and a full explanation of the things you will need to do in Christine's book, Saving the Whole Woman, 2nd edition (which has a dance workout and fuller explanations of the body's structures than the first edition.
Keep calling back with questions, and good luck.

saving your uterus post op
hi merri
I think that you can still benefit from this work, even after having had surgical intervention. what's important, is to realize that the structure of your vagina has been altered surgically. so now that your bladder is slung up, and there's been mesh placed around, your vagina is no longer a flattened (ie closed) tube, but one that is 'tented' and held open. this sets the stage for uterine descent, and you no longer have the benefit of 'nature's pessary' (ie, bulges from prolapsed bladder and rectum) to hold it back.
so I'd say definitely learn the posture as best you can. this posture tips your pelvis forward and positions your uterus over the bones of your pelvis, rather than over that open hole.
as louise said, you may find that your body doesn't respond the way many of ours do, since you've had some cutting and pasting done. but that's ok, it just means you have to pay closer attention to YOUR body and modify things to work for you.
and one more piece of advice, watch your diet and don't ever strain on the toilet.
I hope you continue to recover well, and I'm glad you found us. better late than never : )
