Welcome to Episode 143

The pelvic floor is the unsung hero of the female body – a complex network of muscles that play a pivotal role in pregnancy, childbirth, and overall well-being. Yet, for too long, this intimate area has been shrouded in shame and disconnection. Yoga for the vagina offers a powerful antidote, helping women cultivate a deeper awareness and relationship with the pelvis. By releasing tension and fear, this practice unlocks greater ease, pleasure, and power during life’s most transformative experiences.

Tamra Mercieca is a women’s health expert who has dedicated over 20 years to helping women reclaim their power and fall in love with themselves. As the host of the “I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca” podcast and the founder of the “Getting Naked” online school, Tamra shares transformative practices for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Debra and Tamra explore how releasing fear, cultivating self-love, and using intentional practices can make birth a more easeful and empowering experience, while also revealing opportunities for personal growth through the parenting journey.

“If we can, as parents, look to our children and see them as this mirror reflection, letting us know what we need to look at, then that is such a profound healing journey that we can go on, and it also offers the child the best possible chance of having a healthy self-esteem and solid self-love.” —Tamra Mercieca
