In my years of womb healing work, the womb space and sense of being at home with oneself have always been interconnected. The Womb Space is the centre of giving and receiving pleasure, as well as nurturing and creating life. Whether through birthing biological...

Belly Shaming to Belly Reclaiming

by willowroot | Dec 4, 2019 | chronic pain, embodiment, endometriosis

The ups and downs on my journey to belly love… Back when I was about 22.  I was on the subway, coming home from an astrology class, sitting next to a fellow student that I didn’t know very well. She was a Leo, I believe, which is my opposite, as an Aquarius. She...

“I’m fine.” And other crap I told myself and others. My story in a nutshell.

by willowroot | Dec 4, 2019 | chronic pain, embodiment, endometriosis, womb healing, womb trauma

It took about 10 years to get a proper diagnosis and treatment of my disease. That’s because it is not taken seriously enough. It’s been around since Ancient Egypt and affects 1 in 10 women. There are records of women (and even a few men) having this life-eating...

It’s not ‘all in your head’. Your pain is real.

by willowroot | Dec 4, 2019 | chronic pain, endometriosis

ABOUT ME

Serena willowroot-healing-arts

Hi, I’m Serena. I am founder of Willowroot Healing Arts, where I help people find relief from pelvic pain and womb trauma and help ease transitions through pregnancy, post-partum and menopause. I am the lucky mother of an amazing daughter and partner to a wonderful man. I have endometriosis and adenomyosis (endo’s lovely cousin). My purpose with this blog is to share my experiences about living with and learning from this disease and how it has awakened my fierce passion for reclaiming my body, my power and shedding light on the dark side of being a woman in a female body in a patriarchal world. It is also an ongoing log of my mind-body healing journey from a holistic perspective.
