Adenomyosis
Awareness and diagnosis of adenomyosis has skyrocketed in recent years but it still feels like endometriosis’s ignored step sister.
What is adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis is when the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrial tissue) grows into the wall of the uterus. The displaced tissue continues to act normally — thickening, breaking down and bleeding — during each menstrual cycle.
Common symptoms of adenomyosis:
- An enlarged uterus
- Painful periods
- Heavy and/or long periods
- Painful sex
- Pelvic pain
Can I have endometriosis and adenomyosis?
Yes. Unfortunately, there are many women who appear to suffer from both. Many of the symptoms are present in both conditions and they are each challenging to diagnose.
Is treatment different if it’s adenomyosis?
I approach treating them in the same way as they usually have the same underlying root cause.
Holistic treatment for adenomyosis:
Sobada Abdominal Massage, is a relaxing and therapeutic massage that strengthens the uterus and improves blood flow to the organs in your pelvis including your ovaries and uterus.
Sobada is often nicknamed womb massage or uterine massage because of its profound impact on your womb.
The treatment helps to improve your overall menstrual cycle, reduce and often entirely eliminate period pain and ovulation pain. In addition, the treatment helps relax tension in your abdomen, release adhesions and return organs (including your uterus) to their optimum position.
As a result you’ll feel calmer and you’ll be able to anticipate your monthly period without fear.
I incorporate hand and foot reflexology to help you truly relax and return to a state of balance. Foot reflexology is very effective in improving your cycles and improving your hormone levels.
In our first treatment together, I teach you a short (5-10 minute) self-care massage you can use at home to complement my treatment. If you are consistent about performing this self care massage at home, it can support you in reducing adenomysosis related symptoms and improve your fertility and overall menstrual health.
Emotional support for your hormonal health:
Stress can have a huge impact on your health and your menstrual cycle especially if you are dealing with a diagnosis or you suspect you have adenomyosis.
I help my clients reduce their stress, anxiety and fears and concerns around their cycles using Bach Flowers, visualisation and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping.
I believe that when you feel calm, you’re sleeping well and you generally feel good your cycles are more likely to be regular and pain free.
I’m a holistic therapist and I am here to help you!
I love helping women to overcome their fertility challenges and other issues related to your cycles, pregnancy, periods and/or anxiety.
I treat women with abdominal and womb massage techniques known as Sobada (formally the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage) and reflexology.
I’m also an Advanced EFT Tapping practitioner and I work with women in particular issues around anxiety, depression, stress levels.
I teach Fertility Awareness to help women better know their bodies and improve their chances of conceiving or prevent pregnancy naturally.
I live in Modi’in, Israel and that’s where I spend my days helping women during their fertile years, pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal conditions. Bodywork sessions (massage and reflexology take place in my clinic in Modi’in but EFT Tapping sessions and Fertility Awareness education can take place online or in person).
