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.

there have definitely been suggestions on this before, so you'll find good info. I just wanted to add that i haven't found the chair to be as key as simply how i sit. i tried a kneeling chair, but that was too uncomfortable. ultimately i found any chair that allows me to avoid the back of the chair (so i can resist leaning back!) works well, though i need to be sure the base doesn't slant at some strange angle. a hard wooden chair is great on posture, not on my bottom ;-) but regardless of what you find that is comfy, do remember to keep an eye on how you are sitting and keep checking it out.

I like padded backless short stools with a round seat
that way I can straddle it and lean forward

Stools
I am also a stool user, or else I sit far enough forward on a chair to keep my knees lower than my hips, and my bottom away from slopey chair backs. God gave me a spine and musculature - might as well use it. Try googling using the words "ergonomic gas lift stool saddle". I did find one saddle shaped stool which had a lovely big seat on it. I am sure I have seen others elsewhere. Try before you buy. I suggest making one yourself fror home if you have/are a handy person.
Find an old office chair with a non-gas lift type height adjustment, on a roadside collection or garage sale, remove the back and seat. Fasten a butt-sized piece of 1/2 inch ply to the pedestal bracket so the seat is horizontal, and adjust the height so your knees are lower than your hips when you put a cushion on it. Voila - stool.
The other option is just to remove the back and use a hi density foam wedge to adjust the seat to horizontal. I have found that the problem with most/all office chairs is that the seat itself is dish-shaped, which precludes getting your legs well apart to give you a wide, stable, triangular base for your feet and butt. Most of them push your upper thighs towards each other, which is OK if you have pre-pubescent or slim male thighs, which most women do not have! Fill up the dish and the seat becomes much more friendly for varying your seating position.
Hospital furniture suppliers are the businesses to look for. You probably have a catalogue where you work, or Google them.
Good luck.
