Pelvis Workshop

A 2-hour embodied workshop for women

The pelvis is not just a structure.
It is a meeting place. A center of gravity. A bowl that holds organs, breath, feeling, history, and memory.

So many women live slightly — or very — disconnected from this place. Sometimes after birth. Sometimes after injury, surgery, or years of holding it all together. Sometimes simply from living in a world that asks us to leave our bodies behind.

This workshop is an invitation to come back into relationship with your pelvis — not to fix it, but to listen, feel, and restore trust from the inside out. This is the kind of slowed down and present space and pace where healing unfolds naturally, as the body gets a chance to reconnect to its Blueprint.

Working with Rosie, one on one and in a group setting, has helped me overcome and heal parts of my births that I can hardly put into words. I am unbelievably fortunate to have found someone with deep knowledge and the ability to truly listen.
On top of her amazing offerings, she has added the pelvis workshop! I’d hugely recommend!
And I can’t wait to attend another one to truly let the medicine land and to continuously feel the healing and growth I’m able to access through her teachings.

What This Workshop Is

This is a 2-hour (ish) in-person, small-group, embodied pelvis workshop for women.

It weaves together:

  • Gentle, guided movement

  • Breath and embodied awareness

  • External pelvic mapping (hands-on, fully clothed, respectful)

  • Internal pelvic mapping (awareness, breath and movement)

  • Simple education about the pelvis, tissues, nervous system and scar tissue

  • We end with a warm soup in community

This is not fitness.
This is not performance.
This is not about “getting your body back.”

This is about inhabiting your body more fully.

Who This Is For

This workshop is for you if and of these apply:

  • You have a pelvis and would like to embody it

  • You want to understand and feel your pelvis from the inside out

  • You’ve given birth — recently or long ago

  • You carry tension, disconnection, or uncertainty in your pelvis or core

  • You feel “not quite at home” in your body

  • You’re curious about meeting your body in a slower, kinder way

You do not need to be in pain.
You do not need a diagnosis.
You do not need to be flexible, fit, or “good at this.”

You only need a body.

Babies not yet crawling are warmly welcomed.

What We’ll Explore

In this workshop, we’ll gently explore:

  • The living landscape of your pelvis — bones, tissues, breath, and support

  • How holding, bracing, collapsing, or disconnecting shows up in the body

  • How to restore a sense of inner support and orientation

  • How the pelvis responds to attention, safety, and presence

  • Simple ways to continue this conversation with your body at home

You may leave feeling:

  • More grounded

  • More spacious

  • More at home in yourself

  • More trusting of your body’s signals and intelligence

Why This Matters

The pelvis is often treated like a mechanical thing: something to strengthen, fix, tighten, or correct.

But the pelvis is also relational. It responds to how we breathe, how we feel, how safe we are, how much we are holding.

When we meet it with listening rather than forcing, change tends to happen in quieter, deeper, and more lasting ways.

Here is a little video on the Autonomic Nervous System and the pelvis, and a little deep dive into prolapse.

Many women experience prolapse after birth, and of those many receive surgery. Yet around 30-40% of women have prolapse recur after surgery, of which 10-30% may require repeat surgery. What are they missing? And what do these women need?

About Rosie

I’m Rosie van der Heiden — postpartum practitioner and guide for women through birth, recovery, and life’s transformative passages.

My work is rooted in the understanding that the body is not a problem to solve, but a place to land in true embodiment with life.

I support women through hands-on scar tissue work, pelvic and embodied awareness, nervous system regulation, and birth integration. Much of my work lives at the meeting place of body and experience — where what has been lived, held, or endured can slowly be felt, met, and integrated.

I’m especially passionate about helping women come back into relationship with their bodies after birth — not through fixing or forcing, but through listening, presence, and respectful support.

My approach is gentle, trauma-aware, and deeply practical. It honours the intelligence of the body, the pacing of the nervous system, and the reality that healing is not something we make happen — it is something we create the conditions for.

This workshop grows out of that same way of working: unhurried, embodied, and human.
