Whole woman in Sydney, Australia

Body: 

Hello.

Just wondering if there are any Whole Woman "people" in Sydney who can help with the exercise programme and learning posture etc? I have just got the book and DVDS and need some help getting started.
Also need to know how you find a reliable garnaecologist to isolate particular organ weaknesses/prolapses - what questions should you ask as there seems to be varying medical views on all this.

If there is anyone in Sydney who can help direct me it would be appreciated.

Dear lynlav,
(((hugs))) & welcome to WW forum!!
The best way to receive some suitable professional advice on getting started is to go to the WW Practitioner's tab & contact Louiseds who is our Australian WW teacher.
I am in Sydney & I read all the information on this site, posted my observations & questions, while waiting on Christine's Book & DVDs.
I then read the "Whole" of "Saving the Whole Woman" ( there is pictorial self diagnosis of prolapse in the book, & by reading it you will pick up on other symptoms that will or have improved by living in WW posture) I then watched the DVD's.
I started with the posture, then walking & DVDs & haven't looked back.
Sorry can't help with suitable gyneo - your GP may be able to help.

Best Wishes in your journey with us

Hi Lynlav23

Yes, I am in York, WA. You can buy Whole Woman resources from me, and I am happy to email with you, and make a time for a short chat at a mutually acceptable time. Still waiting on final insurance before I can help you properly.

Buying from me supports Whole Woman, and gets your products to you less expensively and much quicker.

Hi lynlav - I agree with Soul Sis, you might want to contact Louise via the Practitioners tab. She is in WA so if you aren't in a position to travel, she can consult by phone as well. Also, there is lots of help on this Forum and website, so just let us know what your questions are!

Gynecologists are surgeons, so of course the prevailing treatment option offered there is going to be surgery. I personally have no interest in knowing what a gyne things of my prolapses. Even diagnosis is not a science, since prolapses are moving around all the time. But this is my personal choice. Many women do feel better after being told by their doc that they have a prolapse, especially if they are worried about other possibilities.

Good luck and keep us up-to-date. - Surviving

Hi lynlav23,
Welcome to the forum and the WW community and work. I'm very pleased you found this site and hope you find all the resources throughout this site useful. There are also WW youtubes you can check out as well as well.

Just to say the pelvic organs are separate but also very closely aligned, so what affects one organ will affect the others. They do not exist totally in isolation from one another. Also the pelvic organs are quite mobile. They need to be for the pregnant situation for example. So the position of the pelvic organs can vary - throughout the day, from day to day, time to time. So a diagnosis is a snap shot in time.

Basically there are things we can do to make pop worse. And those of us who've experienced pop have probably experienced some of those things, (eg slouching, pulling in our abdomens, continous coughing, difficulties in child-birth, pushing/lifting havy weights in an unsuitable way...). There ar also things you can do to make things better. Ie the WW way; natural posture, good elimination, undersatnding the pelvic organ support and how to protect that, good diet, de-stressed life-style, adequate rest etc.

So it may be helpful to have a diagnosis - but remember it's a snap shot not writ in stone - and there are natural, safe, effective ways to treat and improve pelvic organ prolapse symptoms. Many of us on this site are testimony to that.

Surviving60 - thank you for your comment 'Gynecologists are surgeons' and my light-bulb moment.
Do you know somehow that had never clicked so clearly for me before. Gynecologists are surgeons - so of course they're going to know about and suggest surgery most. That's what they know.

Wishing you all, all the best, xwholewomanuk
