MIZAN THERAPY

Traditional Reproductive Healing.

The quality of our reproductive health and endocrine system are the greatest indicators of our over all health and bodily balance. Whether you’re struggling with menstrual issues, fertility issues, menopausal discomforts, healing from post partum, simply seeking a deepening of self-care, or dealing with anything womb related, this therapy can be the key to your own womb-empowerment and transformation.

Mizan is an Arabic word that means balance. By using traditional reproductive healing techniques that have their roots in indigenous North-African traditions, Mizan Therapy seek to restore balance when life feels unbalanced – physically, emotionally or spiritually.

Mizan Therapy works to realign the pelvic and abdominal organs to create balance and harmony in the endocrine system, reproductive system, digestive system and aid in creating balance physically, emotionally and spiritually. The therapy includes a massage, but also quite some consultation and diving deep into your holistic well-being.

Why do Mizan?

I truly and deeply believe this therapy is the link that the western traditional medical approach is completely missing. Ancient peoples from all across the planet have been implementing these kinds of therapies since the beginning of time. We must come back to using our hands. Mizan combines both ancient wisdom and a modern-holistic and physiological approach to all things womb-related.


Reasons why people seek mizan therapy:

painful or uncomfortable menstruation or ovulation, tilted uterus (which is the cause of many ailments), hormonal imbalances, PSOS, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, desire/preparation to get pregnant, IVF, fertility issues, post partum care, menopausal symptoms, prolapse care, IBS/indigestion, constipation, chronic yeast infections, miscarriage support, healing from sexual trauma, healing from emotional wounds, connecting to womb, general self-care (you don’t have to have any “problems” to benefit from it).


Benefits of Mizan include Healing in all womb ailments (pcos, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, etc), alleviating painful menstruation and pms, balancing libido, creating fertility, pre-conception, post-partum, healing from a birth experience, healing from miscarriages, increase sperm quality (for men), endocrine balancing, digestive healing, healing from sexual trauma, general self care, ect. the benefits are endless.

What does a typical session look like?

A typical mizan session is a combination of consultation and the mizan massage (which is about an hour).

The first session can be between 2-3 hours long. There will be a long consultation in the beginning as it’s really important to get the whole picture and connect to what you seek to heal, change, implement. Often we can touch on subjects that are tender, so it’s important not to be rushed. The following sessions are about 1 hour long.

There’s always a sort of follow up email with suggestions, guidance.
It’s important that you also take the steps to make the changes necessary in your life.

HOLISTIC CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION FOR PARENTS

in-person or virtual.

Preparation is key. Education is the most important aspect of informed decision-making. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by too much information or insecure by too little information. Some people want to know less than others, and some want to know more. Through my own experience in the field, I crafted this class as the perfect amount of information for couples and pregnant women seeking birth education that is evidenced-based and well-rounded, leaving everyone feeling confident and even excited for what is to come.

Services include:

• 4-hour childbirth education session on zoom for couples or single-parents. (we can break this up into 2 sessions of 2 hours, if preferable)

• guidance into understanding what your specific needs and desires are and how to plan for that.

• well-rounded, easy to follow evidence-based education.

• includes a pdf with notes and resources.

• we will cover the physiology, the hormonal, emotional, spiritual, any tests or interventions that could come up.

• covering everything you need to know, not too much, not too little, with resources to go deeper, should you desire.

• includes time for questions

1:1 Support

in-person or virtual.

if you’re curious about any of the offerings below, reach out via my contact page and schedule a free 30 minute call with me to see if we’re a good match for whatever you’re seeking.

1:1 Womb Session

1:1 sessions help you gain clarity on any womb-related issues. This is especially beneficial if:

• you're receiving information from your gynecologist that seems unclear or doesn't sit well with you.

• you’ve received information you're unsure about and wish to get a second, more holistic opinion.

• you've been living with a condition for a long time and nothing seems to improve.

• you have a wish to conceive.

• you are seeking a more comfortable, regular, and balanced menstrual cycle.

• you simply want to connect deeper to your womb and femininity.

I have many years of experience working with myself on these issues and so many other women in so many different capacities. I can tell you that it starts with this: sharing your womb story with a loving, objective, supportive, and professional ear, will already begin to create the grounds for the change and transformation you may be seeking.

No corner will go unchecked. We will dive deep into nutrition and lifestyle. Once we tackle the physical aspects of womb care and all the practices you can implement, we can move into the deeper realms (if you’re open to it). We open the potential to uncover issues that are stuck in the lineage and in the deeper emotional-psychological realms.

1:1 Birth Preparation/ADvocacy SEssion

Knowing how to advocate for yourself is crucial, especially when navigating any regulated birthing system. Understanding your rights and being able to confidently say yes or no to suggested measures can often determine whether your birth experience feels positive or disorienting. As a doula with many years of experience working in the system, outside of the system, and everything in between, I have a lot of advice to offer that would not be offered in a general childbirth ed class. Many women and couples seek 1:1 sessions with me for several reasons:

• you’re in prenatal care, and your midwife or doctor has suggested something that doesn't feel quite right to you and you seek clarity on the issue.

• you may have a unique birth situation (twins, breech, anything outside the realm of “common”), and seek to birth on your own terms despite a lack of support from hospital or midwives. i will help you understand the facts (verse the “fears”), your rights, and how to navigate it all, so that you can become clear on how to move forward in the best way for you and your baby.

• perhaps you haven’t hired a doula, but still seek extra preparation for how to have a positive and empowering experience in the hospital system. this can be the key to a really positive experience for you, your baby, and your partner.

1:1 Birth Story Debrief

This can be for couples or solo.

The birth has already taken place (recently or even many years prior), and you find yourself confused by certain elements of the experience. You wish to debrief your story with a loving, supportive, professional, and objective ear to gain clarity.

While things may not always go as planned or expected, it doesn't necessarily mean the experience has to be negative. Often, it just indicates a need for additional support or clarity. If there was a challenging experience, or if there was trauma, it can be really healing to be heard and gain clarity on what actually occurred. 

If you’re planning to conceive again and had a disorientating, confusing, or traumatizing experience the first time, this can unlock the healing neccessary in order to clear the way for a much more positive experience the next time around.

If you’re not planning to conceive again or cannot, this session can be deeply healing to release all the negative emotions that the body may be holding onto from that experience. Leaving you with much more vitality and openness.

You may be surprised how deep and needed this session can be.
