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.

Ontarian, WW posture is THE
Ontarian, WW posture is THE most proactive thing that you can do for your health in your later years. I discovered my ‘celes after menopause, and after doing this work for awhile I can honestly say I look and feel better than ever. I would not go back. I’m better off today for having discovered prolapse and then Whole Woman. I’m doing way more than coping! Take heart. This is work, not a quick fix. It is a leap of faith until you have immersed yourself in Christine’s work and research, and then you will see that it all makes perfect sense. Then, you commit to the process and you live it every day. - S60
PS: Read up on Christine's hips project if you need further proof to realize you are only helping your future self by being here. It is not just about prolapse, but about protecting the hips and spine as we age.

newly diagnosed
Hi Ontarian,
Welcome to the WW community. So glad you found this site - you've come to the right place and you'll find loads of info, resources and support here. I'm v. pleased you've ordered the book and a dvd. They are really really useful and well worth the investment.
I completely agree with surviving 60. I experienced a uterine prolapse accompanied by some sciatica and inner thigh pain symptoms, which completely blew me off course in every way. I was 54, post menpausalish, thought I was in reasonable shape and a yoga teacher amongst other things. The prolapse just did not fit with what I thought was my reality! I was v. tearful and in retreat for a few weeks, feeling devastated and at a loss to know what to do. Then I found WW and my road to recovery and management of potential symptoms. 1 1/2 years later I can also honestly say I feel happier and healthier now than I did prior to the onset of prolapse problems. This is definately to do with the WW work, which not only alleviates/manages prolapse symptoms, but is also good for general health as the whole premise is based on healthy posture, exercise, diet, elimination and life-style. It's a life times commitment, but one that I gladly participate in as it does me so much good and I feel better.
The mainstream medical system does not know of this work yet, and with the best will in the world they cannot offer this approach as they neither understand or know about it. So please don't expect them to offer alternatives to surgery, pessaries, kegels or nothing. Those are the options most medics know about.
There are masses of posts embedded in this forum. So if you have any queries you may well find they've already been answered somewhere. Try keying in key words in the search box. Likewise - the blogs and resource videos etc.
With love and encouragement, xwholewomanuk

The role of breathing
Ontarian, if you feel really POPpy towards the end of the day you might find that spending some time on elbows and knees on the floor will bring your organs inside you again. Firebreathing, which you will learn about in the book, is very powerful for sucking your organs inside your body and over your pubic bones.
In the longer run this work does rotate your pelvic organs forwards into your relaxed belly, over time. Learning to breathe diaphragmatically, so your belly expands with every inhalation helps this rotation and moving forwards. The bladder, vagina, uterus and rectum are all loosely tethered to each other. Every inhalation makes room for your uterus and bladder out the front, stretches out your vagina, which drags your bladder up with it, and your rectum up and forwards as well, so it is not squashed down at the bottom of a cone like a coil of fire hose, (which doesn't move water very efficiently). So your poo can more more freely.
