Real Women, In Their Own Words

What you learn about your own body travels. It moves forward to the women after you, and back to those before.

Isa Herrera, MSPT, CSCS, photographed outdoors.

I'm Isa Herrera, a pelvic floor physical therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I've cared for 22,000 women across 21 years, and I've made it my life's work to help women take back their power when it comes to their pelvic health.

The women on this page speak on camera about their own experience of my programs and my supplements. Every transcript is published in full, so each account can be read whether or not the video is played.

I was suffering from leaking, pelvic pain, third degree prolapse. My life was a mess. I knew nothing about my pelvis even though I was a physical therapist. I built this because nobody built it for me, and I tell every woman the same thing: "you are the heroine of your own story. And there is no white knight that's gonna come and save you."

I've said this to a room full of women more times than I can count. "Tell your daughters. Tell your mom. Tell your sister. Because what we're doing here is we are healing a lineage when we heal ourselves. We heal forward and backwards." That is ourselves, our daughters, and our granddaughters, and back up the chain to our mothers if we're lucky.

I put my first website up in 2001, published my first book in 2003, and named the Reverse Kegel in 2009, in the first edition of Ending Female Pain. I've been teaching lineage healing in my workshops since going online around 2016. In a world where internet marketers sell programs every few years, this work already spans 2 decades.

Every woman you're about to meet sat down and said what she wanted to say. The words are hers, start to finish. I put the whole transcript under each video, because the whole thing is the point.

    - Thank you so much for doing this. I wanted to talk a little bit about the transition that you went through with starting out at one position with the lady type and how you progress all the way to where you are right now. And before you started the Female Pelvic Pain Relief program, what was your life like, like what was it like? - It was really challenging, Isa. I have had problems with trigger, well, I later found out were trigger points that made intimacy a challenge. It gave me what 99.9% of the time felt like urinary tract infections, and a high percentage of those times, it came back negative. They didn't know. Of course they put me on antibiotics and that wrecked my gut, and all the stuff that goes along with that. And I suffered with this for 35 or 40 years, been to the doctor roadshow, no help. I joined your program. And then you mentioned something that I had never heard. And I'm a retired RN. I had never heard of a husband stitch. And when you described it, I went, "Oh, my word." And I heard I had a vaginal repair, and it was not that, it was more than that. And when I learned your techniques, you started, I took the quiz, I was a tense Tamara, and I started working on the queendom area and stretching that out, and doing that, and being very good about doing my exercises. And one time, I admit, I did too much internal work, and oh, boy, I had the symptoms, you know? And I was like in the bathtub going, kind of thing, but I stuck with it. I knew it wasn't an infection. And I'm like, "Okay, feedback. Slow down, not as deep, not as much." So it actually progressed quite quickly. And then I started to, and I did find out through your education to go to my doctor and I had a prolapse, a bladder prolapse, a second degree. And I was like, "Huh, that's why I was feeling something down there," and kept asking, but no information. They didn't know. They didn't look. You know, even the urologist didn't even look, and I'd been to I don't know how many. So then, from there, I went into a period, because I got loose and the pain with the intimacy was so dramatically better, but then I started to feel just a little bit of leaking almost and I'm like, "Oh, okay." I took the quiz again and I was a baffled Bonnie. And then it was like, "Oh, okay." So then I had to progress into learning to balance the Kegel and reverse Kegel, and strengthen. and then when I took it right before this class, I was the healthy Heather, and I'm like yes. I gotta say, you're never too old. I am 65 now, I was 64 when I started. I've been married for 47 years. And my husband, you know, of course they love us. They don't wanna hurt us, you know? And he's put up with this for so many years and I am so grateful, because it has changed my life. I have told every woman I know about this particular issues. I don't care. I'm an open book. If I can help one woman not go through all the grief I've been through for all those years, I make an omission. - And I am so happy. - Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. I am super happy for your results, and your results happened throughout for a lot of women in the program. So when you made that realization that you had transitioned to a baffled Bonnie, what went through your head? Did you think like, "Oh, my Lord, this is like bad, or did you think it was good, or what did you think? - Well, I kind of said, "Well, okay, this is new information. I'm not real thrilled." But granted, I wasn't having huge leaking. You know, it was kind of like when I'd get up from the toilet, I'd feel like I had a little dribble sort of thing and it's not like it was all the time, but then I didn't let it discourage me, because I trusted. You know, you had been able to help me through something that no other person has ever been able to help me from. I had already seen the change in my intimacy, you know, and all these other things. I'm like, "I'm just gonna trust and I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna dig deep." And I am still learning, you know? When I mentioned, well, how could I be a healthy Heather and have the weak intimacy? And then it's like, well, okay, put your feet in this position to work on the interior, you know? So I'm always learning, but you have to be open. You have to be willing, you have to trust, and you have to do the work. - Yeah, and let's talk about that, because I think that one of the biggest problems that we have with the media that we have with big pharma, that we have with magazines is this thing that healing is like, it's magical. I mean, it is magical when it happens to the body. You and I have both been through a great deal, but that is external to you, that you don't have to do the work, right? Everybody out there, every time I see these ads and I see these things, it's like, no, I just want an ad for some something that you wear that says, "Let me do the Kegels for you." I was gonna write a whole blog on that, but I don't have time to write something on that, 'cause that really pissed me off. So let's talk about the work. Is it complicated to do the work? I mean, how did you go about it? - No, I set up a schedule, you know, and at first, I was doing it every day, a little bit every day. And to this day, I do the queendom rub and the stretch, and the belly ups, and those I do every morning before I get out of bed, and that's made a big difference. So I approach it as this is my time. This is my priority, nobody else. And I'm coming from a traditional training background as a nurse, but I also have a lot of holistic training. So the thing is don't give your power away, claim your own power, your own wisdom, listen to your body. Don't expect to take a pill and have it fixed. That, you know, most of the time, not that there are times to do that, but most of the time that's a fallacy. Take your power back, take your womanhood back. Be proud to be who you are and stand in your greatness, and do not give up right before your miracle happens. - I'm glad that you said that, because the majority of us, including myself, which is why it took me so long to heal, is that I gave up. I was discouraged. I didn't have communities. One of the reasons why I built the public wellness community, it really stemmed out my own loneliness through this journey and realizing that I was alone. There was nothing like this in those days, you know? And so how has community and knowing that other women, you know, are there, how has community helped you? 'Cause I know that you are, you know, you're one of my star community people, and you're always helping out. And I find that like, I wanna say thank you. Thank you. Thank you, because it really touches my heart when I see you respond to somebody and it makes me wanna cry, who's like, "Oh, I don't know what to do," you know? - Well, I was there. I suffered through that. And you're not gonna ask somebody. that's never had these issues to help you along the journey. Isn't it about reaching a hand out to a fellow woman and taking her hand or giving her a hug virtually, or whatever, and saying, "I've been there. I understand. I know how frustrating. I've sat there. I've cried. I've been through this." You know, and I've been like, "Am I always gonna suffer this?" You know, I did have days that were like that, but then I just had to trust and I prayed, and I asked for guidance, and I followed my intuition. I have never signed up for class so fast in my life. When I heard you, I went yes, and that inspiration came, and I'm like, "This is it," and it was it, it was it, it was my answer and you were my angel. - And I think you're your own angel, because you did the work, you did the effort, you stayed on this path of trusting, because when we lose our trust, we lose everything, and we outsource, and I always have this expression that says that you are the knight in shining armor. You are the one that's gonna come in down the road and save yourself at the end, right? And we know from everything that no one's gonna come and save us, you know? So I'm so grateful to have you here and to make sure that I just want women to hear your story, because I want them to understand what's possible. I think that sometimes we don't see it reflect back and we get stuck in this tunnel, like "Alison in Wonderland" of darkness, and there's no way to come out. So for women out there who have lost hope, what would you tell them? - Well, what I said before, do not give up before your miracle happens. It's possible. It happened for me. I mean, I had that surgery in 1980, March 4th, 1980, and here we are now, 40 odd years later, but my miracle happened. So do not give up. - Thank you so much, Faith, for sharing your beautiful wisdom with all the women in this challenge. I know that you are an inspiration for all of us, including myself, and I am so deeply grateful to have you in my program, in my community, and being there, and always lending a helping hand for the women who need that virtual hug. So just a lot of gratitude and a lot of appreciation for you.

    I just think it's so important for everybody to I just think it's important for us to all stick together, right? Yeah. Okay, right because we get comfort that way no and that's the thing that's about the community. So so what led you to the program Nancy like why did you sign up? Okay, so I was just I'll be really, you know straightforward about it. I was in a new relationship. I hadn't really been sexually active for a while and was in a relationship and experiencing. a lot of pain not pain during sex, but just pain after sometimes a day after sometimes two days out and just debilitating pain and I Course, what do we do? You know we call the doctor we go to the doctor and it was the most unsatisfying experience like it was like I wanted to have a conversation. I wanted to talk about my body and what possible reasons there were was it you know positions was a frequency was it whatever there was no dialogue. I was so frustrated. So I went on line and I just started searching and researching and since I'm a writer and I have a magazine. So this is not unusual for me to do. So I was researching and I found you that way and I went to one of your master class kind of things, you know. Yeah the webinar I do that what I do the teachings. Yes, and I was intrigued by it and then I was desperate and it didn't take much for me to just do it because during the Q&A and I was listening to other people's problems and I've learned about but I'd be part of the Facebook community and there would be all these opportunities to share with other women. And just not feel so alone as I did when I was talking to my doctor, which is a really sad commentary but so I bought the course and that's how oh also awesome. So what's been your experience with the program? So about that. Yeah, and when something you said before really resonated with me you said that this is not linear and that one of the biggest takeaways for me was I can go in and I will be honest. I haven't finished every module yet, but I will go in and I will spend time when I have time on the module that resonates for me at that moment. I can always go back. It's so easy to navigate because it's not linear and our lives aren't linear, right? So we so it's the flexibility and then, you know being able to go to the Facebook community and just read other people's stories. You just it's just it's kind of always with you and it's not like you feel like you have to do it all at once or if your life gets crazy or you're feeling better and I went through a period where I was feeling better and then I was like, oh I have a chunk of time now I went back and it was just very easy. How wonderful I'm so excited for you. I'm so excited and congratulations on the new relationship the same. This is so hot. I love it hot. Okay. So how did you find the material because some women they're like, oh, I'm not techie. Oh my God. I don't know how to do this. Oh you find the material. Yeah, so I kudos to you Isa because the video like you're right if we just if I just logged on and saw one PowerPoint after another, you know, it would it wouldn't resonate but the videos and I have to tell you the live models. I realized something about myself. The first time I watched like we don't look at our own vaginas. I know we look at as you say we examine our breasts we don't look at our own vaginas and it was it and I'm 57 years old. It was a new thing for me and it was a beautiful thing because it takes away stigma. It takes away shame takes away judgment you actually and I will tell you something. This is really fascinating. So I've been I was having a lot of sciatica pain. Oh having a lot and I watched the video and you had your thing, you know your pelvic floor, you know, and you were talking about the pelvic wall and the muscles and referred pain and how the nerves blah, like wait a minute and then I did the Kegel module and I'm learning about reverse case and I was working on that and I realized that when I do reverse kegels. It released my satically. Absolutely because it's so deeply connected right? Yes, but that's for me. Yeah, and also realize. Another thing is that women by Nature. We're always Contracting everything or sucking it stomachs. We're sucking it we're doing and all that stuff is not necessarily good for you. We think we should just hold everything together. But sometimes you got to spread it all out. So it I'm finding the material just beautifully easy to navigate understand follow and use. Oh awesome. Awesome. And what about did you attend the live q&a's? Did you go to that? Have you gone into any of the live? Q&a's? No. Oh, okay. So look at that you're doing so well with the life Q&A without I'm doing well. I read what people post on Facebook and I you know, and I get you know, the emails and I keep track but you know, we're all we're all really busy sometimes, you know, yeah, so I haven't done that but you know what they're forever for you. So you want to go back and check them out. That's what we do a lot of the hot season the Hotsy healings. And and I welcome you as a special gift. Definitely. You can join the lives coming up. So if you want to join that as a special like, you know gratitude give you for doing thank you. Yeah, and so what about the Facebook Community because for me that's that's like the gem that is a gem. That is a gem because if you think about it, how many and how many walks of life do you struggle with a physical ailment and you can actually sit and sort of talk to a community about it, you know, you don't go in the doctors office and come out and talk to everybody about their experience. This is so bonding and also healing for women because by our nature we get comfort from each other but this is such a personal thing and so really helps to read other people's stories and say, oh it's not just me and I'm not crazy. And yeah and also like the number of women I talk to you and I've told many women about this because thank you, you know that had the surgeries and that on the medications and all these things that just aren't really going to the root of the problem, you know, the Band-Aids Band-Aids total Band-Aids Bandit. So like I just love that you have such a positive experience and most everybody has a positive experience with this program. Tell me. What would you tell like we have I don't know how many women on this and then we're gonna send this replay out. What would you tell a woman who's on the fence? Who's like, ah, I'm not sure. I'm so not sure if I want to learn how to heal my vagina and my pelvic floor. Would you tell them and I would tell them I would the most personal for me. It was like a five minute and I'm and I'm a very careful. Person, I don't like quickly. I'm not impulsive that way. There's what's Warren. I What's more important? Like that's the way I spoke. I went through this process in my mind. I'm like, I can't see what's more important than this. It's it's literally the center of you. It's sort of you know, and everything. Everything is born out of that. Being comfortable in your body in your skin in your lady Parts. I love talking. It's the most important thing and I'm like, well, if I don't feel good, it's gonna affect everything else in my life and when I think about When I go to the doctor when I get the prescriptions when I do this, when I do that, you're it pays for itself and you know what, I mean, it pays yourself so quickly and so easily because you can keep going back to what you have it forever. I have referred to these modules so many times with you know to refresh my memory. I've done the Press. Yoga. Oh, yeah. What did you think about the yoga? Because that's a bonus story buddy. Yeah. It's a it's fantastic because you know, and as you said this was so important that you said this that second module that people might skip because it's like, oh I know how to sit. No, I watch the whole thing. I didn't know how to sit like a writer. So I'm always in front of the computer and I would punch I would cross my legs. I would do all these things that weren't helping me. So it's mindfulness. It's like paying attention to where you are in space and time and this is why I just that it's so valuable. So I think it's it's a Priceless thing and it was an easy decision for me. So If that helps anybody hope it does I am so delighted by your comments and being here. And by the way, we didn't practice this. I have no idea. I just we just I just okay bring somebody, you know what I mean and you volunteer and I was like the chips fall where they make and so far really beautiful always so amazing. So amazing and I'm excited. Well, he's a you I want to thank you for what you do because there's a lot of women who give up who just, you know, resign themselves to being in pain and that is not the way to live your life. So thank you for what you do. Well, thank you. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you. It touches my heart.

    Today, I'm here at Charlotte Blake's bloody studio in New York City with Charlotte Blake. Who has just taken my course and she is one of the most phenomenal Pilates teachers in New York city. So I want to thank her Praises also. Thank you Charlotte. Thank you for here. I know that you've been through my course. And I want to ask you a couple of questions about your experience with the class. What would you say was? The one thing that had the most impact on you when you were taking the course? and I think two things had the most impact number one the breakdown of the anatomy was so helpful and just sometimes I'm on my own it's hard to find this kind of internship and this kind of teaching about the pelvic floor. So on my own I've been looking at an anatomy book and breaking things down and trying to figure out my own so to have you explain it in ways that made a lot of sense and my brain could like really wrap around was amazing. So yeah, it was like really exciting and that's how you kicked off the program. So those videos were special to have and to watch and then secondly, it was just really nice to get to your module when you talked about. movement and also being able to certain things and I'm already doing really understand that on a deeper level and then definitely learned a lot of tools just to apply through Pilates through movement. So let's look a little bit about the movement because we do have a lot of movement individuals who will be taking this class and are currently taking a class. What would you say was one of the takeaways movement like your movement or your Pilates? What would you tell somebody who's a lot of these instructor? Why should I take this course? Yeah, so a lot of people come to me who are in pain and a lot of people go to Pilates teachers who are in pain and a lot of these people who are in pain are women. And a lot of these women are told they don't get better or this is just how you have to live. So I feel there's a responsibility and a time for Learning and empowering other women as a Pilates teacher to help these women and to explain to them exactly how their bodies work and how it works with the diaphragm. So with breathing and I'm interested in the kind of Pilates where the teacher is going to take it to the next level because he burns what yes and really teach and their client exactly how their body is working. So the movement and the tips and the tricks that you gave were really helpful just to be able to feel even more confident with clients and sometimes it is hard because when you talk about the pelvic area I'm not a practitioner who can do internal exams and who can go to that place with a client but to in some ways that's it's just as valuable for the client to learn from a Pilates teacher through movement because then they're able to take that and do their own in-home practice or whatever. It is. Apply it to their everyday life. so I think that's why the movement piece is so important and why it's so important for Pilates instructors or personal trainers or anyone who's teaching movements understand exactly how the core system works the pelvic floor the diaphragm how they all work together and And yeah teach these women who are in pain that they don't have to be in pain and that they can own they can take a certain amount of ownership as far as healing themselves beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, really? Love them. I think that's new hater right on you hit it right there. Okay. Brian is to be what needs to be told about the impact that this class will have on the practice when you were going through the program. Did you feel that it was organized in a way that you could understand it because a lot of people so I'm not a medical doctor. I'm not a midwife for ETC, you know, I have a certain level of expertise or education. What did you think about the way it was organized? Was it easy to understand? Was it easy to flow through it? Yeah, definitely. And at first I wondered the same thing. Well, I know I can't do Eternal exams. I don't go to I don't do certain kind of work with pelvic work with women, but the thing was as I learned so much. I also learned how to communicate better with a PT like you and what a PT would be doing with women. So also I just feel like I have more awareness of if my client is seeing a PT what she should expect there's more. There's more of a language that I can have with that client and also with their PT and hopefully there appreciate would be you and so yes. Overall at first I was worried that it wouldn't pertain to me, but then it absolutely did and even the things that I can't put into direct practice with a client. You are really great at actually letting people know that this these can be practices that you can do on yourself ways to explore your own body and really get to know your own body better and even teaching Women those practices even if you're not doing them directly, I know that this one hesitation with different kinds of movement practitioners and pilates and yoga Etc. So if somebody was on the fence You know and said, you know, I'm not sure what would you tell them who should tell somebody that's on offense about taking this course? Yeah, and I would tell them to just take the course, but also I think what I love about what you do and what I love about this course is that you're making a taboo subject not a taboo subject and that's what someone will get from. This course is just having more confidence talking about it. So when a client comes in with pain even back pain or any kind of lower body pelvic pain, it's not that practitioner won't have this feeling of that's outside of my scope of practice, right which is No one should ever feel that way like being confident about the entire body is so important. It serves the practitioner. It serves the client. So just being able to have a deeper understanding about the entire body and feeling more empowered in your own scope of practice is right then in there every reason why so let's just take the course. Thank you for doing this testimony of for the course. I really appreciate it. Yeah, and thank you for your kind words about the course and thank you for the encouragement, you know for other practitioners who maybe thinking about taking I think that this is going to open them in a way that maybe they're not. used to thinking You know, so it's very good. Thank you, Charlotte. Yeah, I really appreciate that. Yeah.

    I am so happy to have you here. Thank you so much for doing this and for talking to all the Queens who are maybe on the sidelines, you know about why they should join the program. So I want to start out with asking you a question before you took the program. What was your life like Christina? What was it? Like just tell them the absolute truth everything? Oh nothing. So um, yes, so I don't know, you know, the story that of me as I started out with a UTI and then all the sudden I started having right after the antibiotics worked and I had no infection. I started having constant urgency some still some burning basically feeling like at a UTI 24 hours a day, and it was very confusing. And I went right away to a doctor who referred me to urologist and the urologist that basically I could tell intuitively was just clueless was like, I don't know. I mean it was Insanity. I'm sure you all experienced this and like you said the doctor Rochelle basically and I was like continue to go see people and they would give me these non-solutions. I started to get more and more frustrated and then depressed. Hi. I'm really a lot I can hear her but it was second. Yeah. Can you mute Jean for men because I have okay keep going technology so our new problem, so More and more depressed and like really to the point of it was horrible. So I started researching it and I like told you when I came in I had decided I had institutions Interstitial cystitis, right? Because that symptoms were seem similar. I Googled it, you know, and I went to Physicians and I would say to them do you think it's this and I would still get well maybe and then of course for that particular sickness. Nobody knows what that is. You you have a lot of the symptoms. I mentioned you also can have ulceration of the bladder. It's a really difficult thing and they would just be like, I don't know maybe we can offer you this drug, but your hair might start to fall out and you won't know if it works for a year and I was like no. No, so I was down to a hundred pounds practically. I mean really wondering why I was living had this symptoms all day every day and luckily. There was a flame in me. That was like, you know what? I'm not gonna just live with this. So if anyone out there is getting that feel about you have to live with this. It's total BS you do not have to live with this. It's a lie. It's a lie that it's not curable. It's a lie, don't believe it because when I tell my story you wouldn't believe the number of women that have the exact same story. Like Esa said it's insane. So at the end of this one year a really a total. I mean, it's the darkest place I've ever been where I was just searching and I mean traveling to try these different things that I heard worked for I see which is not really what I ended up having fully. I had a therapist who said oh. I met this woman and she had some sort of pelvic thing. And maybe that could help you and I was like what? So I found Isa I found this program because I'm so blessed. I'm also in New York, which is the home base of Isa. And I mean this program saving life is the same my life. You know, I love you Lisa. I love Esa so much. That's why I'm doing this because I vowed that I would never let another word just like Isa we're all goddesses on this path trying to help each other and this program is amazing like she mentioned there's a community so, you know you get down it's a it's the healing process is very It's got its ups and downs emotionally, but when you feel all alone, I'm sure a lot of you feel and that's how I felt. It's just it's really hard to navigate. So just that the community of people is incredible and then of course me cut me off if I'm talking too long. He said yeah. Yeah, I was gonna ask you. How was your life changed now because I know when we first when you first joined the program, I mean it was bad. It was really bad and tell everybody like what is it on the other side of things so the other side is that I have I'm symptom-free completely symptom-free. I also had vaginismus which is basically your vagina just completely closes off and so sex was so incredibly painful that I like shunned from it. and we used a dilator. I used to sit in front the TV because Isa has so many amazing things on this you will find your you will find what you need. Trust me. You will find it's worth it. And I used to sit in front of the TV eating popcorn with my dilator in my vagina. Not just hanging out and after a few months sex got back to normal again. And now I mean, it's like honestly, it's like it never that whole phase. Never. Happened really it's completely returned to normal. completely return to normal And I'll tell you that year of the doctor Road show, right? That's what you call it. It's a brilliant short visit. I'm sure everyone can appreciate that year. man, I mean If you can you need to do this program. Yeah, avoid wasting all that time that precious time of your life. You will find a solution you will this stuff is it's complicated but not that complicated. It's just that most people don't understand it. And there's experts like you said that do. That are the healers. They're the real Healers of our time women are healing women because we know each other's body. We know our body better than anybody else. So I'm talking a lot.

    What was your life like? Well, I had so many of the symptoms that you listed the straw that broke the camel's back for me was I would had so much bladder urgency and frequency and the pressure was so terrible. I had difficulty traveling. And I went to all my doctors one was I she did it was a Friday. I remember I saw her she drew a blood test for a serum ovarian cancer. I had to wait the whole weekend thinking, you know, this is it I am my life is over. I'm thinking what am I going to do first? When they came back normal, she said well if your pain keeps up we're going to remove your fallopian tubes and ovaries. You don't need them anyway, and I'm thinking well. I don't just sense it right with me. I have my internist wanting to do a whole body CAT scan. I mean, this was just and I was Googling all over for every word. I could think of bladder pressure. I was Googling gynecologists looking at their Specialties urologist zero gynecologists couldn't find anybody but I was five months of that straight. I was just miserable and I was desperate until all of a sudden your name came up in an email. So and throughout my years, you know the doctors would I figure I thought now you said I know everything I don't but I assumed that when a guy on a colleges examines you for your pelvic exam in your past mirrors that they can visualize or feel if there's something wrong and nothing was ever wrong. In fact one time. I was told well, there's two creams you can have Esther to hormonal creams. And you can take which either one you want. I have no preference. So that's what I was told and it's like I'm thinking they're really it was hard to believe that this could all be in my head. Mm-hmm. And I got actually worse from the creams because they weren't the bioidentical and that's a whole nother story and you helped me with that. Yeah, and that's just one of the good things about the community right? Because we really go deep into different kinds of things that you can use. It's much more than what we can do in a Facebook. And and so how would your life now because I know you've been traveling and things are good what's going on? You know, I don't even well I think of you not only daily but every time I'm doing a reverse Kegel frequently during the day or what I think of you all the time, but also what I'm thinking is not where the next bathroom is. I mean, I'm thinking wow, when did I last use the restroom or it's been how many hours and the pain that I had with vaginal exams with a speculum was just I couldn't hardly walk out of the office and now I've been through two exams and it's like amazing that it's just over. It's like I'm waiting and everything's fine. It's like you're really done. So yeah, that's amazing. I'm so happy to hear of your success. And and I know there's a lot of women here. There's gonna be thousands of women watching this. What would you tell them about you know, What you know, what would you tell me if they're on the fence right about joining the program about doing this particular kind of healing on their own? What would you tell them? Well, I think Christina gave a good message, but for me. I was so dead. Like I said, I was on the verge of having to have a surgery I When I got your message, I signed up for your class. I was sitting in front of that computer with my mouse ready to click. I have my credit card because you I mean cuz it's the program is you spoke to my heart. You have been there you have gone through once. You know you share so much and you have had almost every symptom or if not all of these symptoms and you have figured out what to do. You have pulled in all the information from all over and I am very particular about who I see and what I do and I'm a perfectionist. And probably one of the reasons I had a chance with China and if the people don't meet my standards, you know, I drop them. And I am just so glad that you're in my life. I'm never going to drop you. I have printed out your program. I have it in a binder I go back and I look at things as if something I start feeling something coming on I go back to your program to look to see what to do or as you said earlier the things that work for me I go back and really do them more religiously and I'm better in a day. I mean, there's no one can take How can I say money can't buy? what your program has to offer and like I said, there's no other Issa out there and number two like for me I was hunting around and there's a reason Isa is in your life right now. Your higher power your God whoever it is that you believe in has brought Isa into your life. And so take the plunge and do it. I have never looked back. And so that's what I have to say. Oh Jean I am so happy for you. I remember you and the doctor Rose show and the ovary and they wanted to remove your organs and for something that you could have been, you know, all that suffering, right, you know all that suffering. It's unbelievable. and to know that you just have everything anyone needs to know and you know resources to all different kinds of resources. I mean you are just there's no other East out there. She decides to do something else or whatever. I would jump in because you're a diamond in a stack. Thank you. I really appreciate you coming here and giving words of inspiration to the Queens because the thing is we need they need to be inspired.

It's 12 of we started to go through the doctor train. I went through like 50 doctors and finally was able to go to the Mayo Clinic in 2014. And was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction real tight pelvic floor dysfunction. And so I was hoping with the diagnosis that I would get better and then I went through another. series of doctors and the only and ended up going to University of North Carolina, which like 400 500 miles away and the only thing that got Botox injections and cult and muscle relaxers and And the only thing that helped was physical therapy. And my physical therapist a year of physical therapy. She only did the same things over and over again and nothing really. although it helped some it didn't give me enough relief. So I found the Press yoga and went LED that let me to the program and I went. I've got to do I do this and it was totally awesome floor more in the last. three months four months from the master class then the six years. Wow, you know the five years after my diagnosis the you know, it would it was just it's just been totally awesome. She gave me the information she gave me the hope and the exercise is that I can do at home that I was doing. I was already doing physical therapy three times a day. And it wasn't really helping but she the reverse Kegel. somebody taught me about that before and it would it was like Howling, and it really is made a huge difference in my life. It'd give me that control over my life and the therapy that I do. And instead of you know, four hours to the doctor an hour to the doctor. Um I use you know, three hour block. I use that block that to do the exercises and help myself at home. I don't have to fight the traffic which was kind of okay you go there good therapies and you come you're getting the traffic the downtown Atlanta traffic, you know, when and you follow the time I got home. I felt like it. Well that kind of contradicted the therapy that was doing and so it gave me a variety of exercises that I can do instead of. 15 exercises that was doing and there to but to address the different issues that we're both that were going on and to deal with the trigger points and the problems that I've been having but it was it been awesome absolutely do it. It was it is the it's life-saving. It's life-changing. None of the doctors that I talked to had any clue about really how to help me. It was all about pills and medicine and not about hands on techniques and hands on techniques. Our our major my life. Absolutely. Different, you know getting back to a normal. Oh, I don't have any pain today, you know as is. Been years since I've been able to do that. So go ahead and bite the bullet pay the money. You won't be you won't regret it a minute. Every time I go through the class and listen to the course. I get more information that I can use. I got it. Um, she answered all the questions that I wrote and I learned not only from the answers that she gave me but also the answers to everybody else's question gave me insights into what I needed to do. My husband was like, I can't believe he took two pages of notes again from the master class that it learns so much from her. I'm just internally grateful for all the blessing that she's been to my life. And I just wish we get the word out there more about What she does because you know what the one in three women have it and the doctors are. Relatively clueless about how to deal with it. There was no one compared to what I gained from master class.

A trigger my bladder has been profound now. I would have no idea that all of those things have an impact on my bladder. I would have had no idea. So, you know, I was alongside my journey of trying to pelvic of bladder health and trying to get my pelvic Health well on track, I've also had this journey of trying to deal with my back pain and my hip pain and my pelvis pain. Of course. I didn't know that the two were drawing that we're talking about the same problem. Oh. It has been an incredible realization for me. And so now I'm in charge when you can when you find your voice. this voice That's Beauty. so happy Oh, it's life-changing for me. It's life changing me. And I feel like I'm just on the beginning of the journey. So what did the course provide for you when you I mean, how did you learn so much? So the course is well laid out. I loved the modules. I loved the I love the fact that we have. in less amount of time to learn them properly and because the first few modules I went back to and read the them so that I really had a good strong foundation in them. There is so much information in there. He said I always following these this course for the next five years, you know, and I'd say probably twice a year. I'll go back and look at it all and each time. I bet I learn more stuff because there are so much information there. I could only retain in contain a certain amount of it. You have given me a gold mine for my house going forward. And absolute gold mine.

This course is so empowering for you. It's taking that your health out of somebody else having the wisdom and somebody else having the information and bringing it back in so you fully understand your own body and it just it gives you the inner power to be able to. then seek help outside if that's what's necessary, but you can do so in educated way that you know, what's going on with your own body and Yeah, it's just empowering.

    I just think it's so important for everybody to I just think it's important for us to all stick together, right? Yeah. Okay, right because we get comfort that way no and that's the thing that's about the community. So so one LED you to the program Nancy like why did you sign up? Okay, so I was just I'll be really, you know straightforward about it. I was in a new relationship. I hadn't really been sexually active for a while and was in a relationship and experiencing. a lot of pain not pain during sex, but just pain after sometimes a day after sometimes two days out and just debilitating pain and I Course, what do we do? You know we call the doctor we go to the doctor and it was the most unsatisfying experience like it was like I wanted to have a conversation. I wanted to talk about my body and what possible reasons there were was it you know positions was a frequency was it whatever there was no dialogue. I was so frustrated. So I went on line and I just started searching and researching and since I'm a writer and I have a magazine. So this is not unusual for me to do. So I was researching and I found you that way and I went to one of your master class kind of things, you know. Yeah the webinar I do that what I do the teachings. Yes, and I was intrigued by it and then I was desperate and it didn't take much for me to just do it because during the Q&A and I was listening to other people's problems and I've learned about but I'd be part of the Facebook community and there would be all these opportunities to share with other women. And just not feel so alone as I did when I was talking to my doctor, which is a really sad commentary but so I bought the course and that's how oh also awesome. So what's been your experience with the program? So about that. Yeah, and when something you said before really resonated with me you said that this is not linear and that one of the biggest takeaways for me was I can go in and I will be honest. I haven't finished every module yet, but I will go in and I will spend time when I have time on the module that resonates for me at that moment. I can always go back. It's so easy to navigate because it's not linear and our lives aren't linear, right? So we so it's the flexibility and then, you know being able to go to the Facebook community and just read other people's stories. You just it's just it's kind of always with you and it's not like you feel like you have to do it all at once or if your life gets crazy or you're feeling better and I went through a period where I was feeling better and then I was like, oh I have a chunk of time now I went back and it was just very easy. How wonderful I'm so excited for you. So excited and congratulations on the new relationship the same this is so hot. I love it hot. Okay. So how did you find the material because some women they're like, oh, I'm not techy. Oh my God. I don't know how to do this. Oh you find the material. Yeah, so I kudos to you Isa because the video like you're right if we just if I just logged on and saw one PowerPoint after another, you know, it would it wouldn't resonate but the videos and I have to tell you the live models. I realized something about myself. The first time I watched like we don't look at our own vaginas. I know we look at as you say we examine our breasts we don't look at our own vaginas and it was it and I'm 57 years old. It was a new thing for me and it was a beautiful thing because it takes away stigma. It takes away shame takes away judgment you actually and I will tell you something. This is really fascinating. So I've been I was having a lot of sciatica pain. oh having a lot and I watched the video and you had your thing, you know your pelvic floor, you know, and you were talking about the pelvic wall and the muscles and referred pain and how the nerves blah, like wait a minute and then I did the Kegel module and I'm learning about reverse case and I was working on that and I realized that when I do reverse kegels It released my satically. Absolutely because it's so deeply connected right? Yes, but that's for me. Yeah, and also realize. Another thing is that women by Nature. We're always Contracting everything. We're sucking it stomachs. We're sucking it we're doing and all that stuff is not necessarily good for you. We think we should just hold everything together. But sometimes you got to spread it all out. So it I'm finding the material just beautifully easy to navigate understand follow and use. Oh awesome. Awesome. And what about did you attend the life q&a's? Did you go to that? Have you gone into any of the live? Q&a's? No. Oh, okay. So look at that you're doing so well with the life Q&A without I'm doing well. I read what people post on Facebook and I you know, and I get you know, the emails and I keep track but you know, we're all we're all really busy sometimes, you know, yeah, so I haven't done that but you know what they're forever for you. So you want to go back and check them out. That's what we do a lot of the hot season the Hotsy healings. And and I welcome you as a special gift. Definitely. You can join the lives coming up. So if you want to join that as a special like, you know gratitude give you for doing thank you. Yeah, and so what about the Facebook Community because for me that's that's like the gem that is a gem. That is a gem because if you think about it, how many and how many walks of life do you struggle with a physical ailment and you can actually sit and sort of talk to a community about it, you know, you don't go in the doctors office and come out and talk to everybody about their experience. This is so bonding and also healing for women because by our nature we get comfort from each other but this is such a personal thing and so really helps to read other people's stories and say, oh it's not just me and I'm not crazy. And yeah and also like the number of women I talk to you and I've told many women about this because thank you, you know that had the surgeries and that on the medications and all these things that just aren't really Going to the root of the problem, you know, the Band-Aids Band-Aids total Band-Aids standing. So like I just love that you have such a positive experience and most everybody has a positive experience with this program. Tell me. What would you tell like we have I don't know how many women on this and then we're gonna send this replay out. What would you tell a woman who's on the fence? Who's like, ah, I'm not sure. I'm so not sure if I want to learn how to heal my vagina and my pelvic floor. Would you tell them and I would tell them I would the most personal for me. It was like a five minute and I'm and I'm a very careful. Person, I don't like quickly. I'm not impulsive that way. There's what's Warren. I What's more important? Like that's the way I spoke. I went through this process in my mind. I'm like, I can't see what's more important than this. It's it's literally the center of you. It's sort of you know, and everything. Everything is born out of that. Being comfortable in your body in your skin in your lady Parts. I love talking. It's the most important thing and I'm like, well, if I don't feel good, it's gonna affect everything else in my life and when I think about When I go to the doctor when I get the prescriptions when I do this, when I do that, you're it pays for itself and you know what, I mean, it pays yourself so quickly and so easily because you can keep going back to what you have it forever. I have referred to these modules so many times with you know to refresh my memory. I've done the Press yoga. Oh, you know, what, did you think about the yoga? Because that's a bonus story buddy. Yeah. It's a it's fantastic because you know, and as you said this was so important that you said this that second module that people might skip because it's like, oh I know how to sit. No, I watch the whole thing. I didn't know how to sit like a writer. So I'm always in front of the computer and I would punch I would cross my legs. I would do all these things that weren't helping me. So it's mindfulness. It's like paying attention to where you are in space and time and this is why I just that it's so valuable. So I think it's it's a Priceless thing and it was an easy decision for me. So If that helps anybody hope it does I am so delighted by your comments and being here. And by the way, we didn't practice this. I have no idea. I just we just I just okay bring somebody, you know what I mean and you volunteer and I was like the chips fall where they make and so far really beautiful always so amazing. So amazing and I'm excited. Well, he's a you I want to thank you for what you do because there's a lot of women who give up who just, you know, resign themselves to being in pain and that is not the way to live your life. So thank you for what you do. Well, thank you. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you. It touches my heart.
