Synopsis

Ladies! Tap into the wisdom of your womanhood and learn through real stories, helpful visualizations, and creative exercises how the sacred pelvic bowl supports and informs your ability to be creative, self-heal, and feel empowered in your life.

Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit, & Joy in the Female Body offers a unique, holistic approach to reclaiming the power, spirit, and joy of the female body and the understanding of its connection to creative energy flow. By restoring the physical and energetic balance in the pelvic bowl, women can learn to care for themselves in a nourishing and respectful manner, heal spiritual fractures, and renew their relationship with the sacred feminine.

In today’s age of women needing to reclaim their feminine power and bodily autonomy, Tami Kent—founder of Holistic Pelvic Care™ and a women’s health and physical therapist—provides a framework for healing the body and navigating the realms of the feminine spirit. Through pelvic bodywork, healing stories, visualizations, rituals, and creative exercises, women can explore the deep and natural wisdom inherent in the female body.

Wild Feminine reveals the amazing potential of the female body: the potential to create, to heal, and to transform energy at the core of all womanhood and radically shift your relationship with your body and spirit. Wild Feminine gives you the tools to awaken and retrieve your ancient wild self, restore your joy and creative energy, and reconnect to your sacred center.

Reviews

Holistic women's healthcare provider and Holistic Pelvic Care founder Kent offers a groundbreaking yet practical mapping of the female energy system with her first book. In a world in which women are notably absent in "all things worthy of study," Kent argues for the importance of exploring the base of female power. Holistic Pelvic Care was created to help women return to their roots and resolve childbirth trauma, sexual trauma, stress, and other issues. Kent believes that women, using her methods, can access the heart of the feminine, reclaim their sacred selves, and heal. She offers exercises to assess levels of spiritual wholeness, and includes detailed instruction on self-administered pelvic care, which she believes helps women to re-embody the feminine. In her book, Kent proceeds with a solidly New Age vibe, which some readers may mistake for a lack of substance or depth; the focus here is on releasing negative energies from "the pelvic bowl" through self-awareness, breathing, and vaginal massage, which in Kent's practice has yielded positive effects for her clients. Leaders in the alternative women's health movement have already embraced Kent's teachings wholeheartedly, and many readers are sure to follow suit.

Physical therapist Kent, founder of Holistic Health Care, wants to restore a sense of the sacred at each woman�s core. This pelvis-centered self-care book that�s both a health and a spiritual guide helps women find and use the �spirit in our wombs��that is, in the pelvic root of the body�that �opens us to spirit.� This focus, Kent believes, can help women understand their personal relationships with �the wild feminine� as they reclaim the wild energy within. Medical practices, including organ-alignment techniques, along with visualization and body-awareness exercises to restore balance and energy-flow to the pelvic bowl are essential to easing the conflicts women face in a man�s world, Kent claims. She also offers exercises and advice for the development of individual energy pathways to reinforce core radiance and suggests starting a �wild feminine� book club. --Whitney Scott
