Managing PCOS: How to Care For and Love Your Body

 

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects many women worldwide. Around 8–13% of reproductive-aged women have this condition, and many more may be undiagnosed. PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances, ovarian cysts, and high androgen levels. These impacts can lead to symptoms like acne, weight gain, irregular menstrual periods, excess body and facial hair, and more. As such, dealing with PCOS can be a traumatic experience. If you’ve been diagnosed with it, you might struggle with obesity, body image issues, infertility, or social stigma.

However, it’s not impossible to manage your condition. There are many ways to care for your body and foster love for yourself, even with PCOS. Here are a few ways you can care for and love your body to help manage PCOS:

Pay attention to your diet

Insulin resistance and obesity are common struggles for women with PCOS, so paying attention to what you eat can help manage weight, blood sugar, and even acne and hair growth. There’s no perfect diet, but the ideal PCOS diet for weight loss is a nutrient-rich diet you can follow long-term without feeling deprived. This can make it easier to stick to and keeps you fulfilled.

Fiber-rich foods like whole grains, non-starchy vegetables, legumes, fruits, and more have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. Eating protein like chicken, fish, lean meats, tofu, and eggs at every meal and snack helps you feel fuller and promotes weight loss. Limiting your intake of sugary foods and processed carbohydrates can help manage your weight and blood sugar. You don’t need to cut anything out of your diet or restrict yourself, but it’s important to find the correct balance to keep your weight and hormones in check. Eating nutritious foods that you love is a great way to make your dietary changes more sustainable.

Get moving
Physical activity has many benefits for your overall well-being and is especially good for women with PCOS. PCOS makes women more susceptible to obesity and diabetes due to insulin resistance. Exercise can help boost physical health, promote weight loss, and aid in stress management—allowing you to manage the condition. It can even improve reproductive functions and reduce the chances of infertility for women with PCOS. Finding an exercise that makes you feel good and suits your lifestyle will motivate you to get moving.

You can try exercises like yoga, pilates, and tai chi, which can help you burn calories while lowering stress levels. Stress can exacerbate PCOS symptoms, so addressing it through exercise can help you target both your body and mind. Cardio is a great way to get your heart pumping; swimming, running, and cycling are great examples, and you can lower or increase the intensity as needed. Walking is also a simple yet effective way to exercise. A 30 to 45-minute walk per day can boost your mood, burn calories, and lower your blood sugar.

Address your stress
Dealing with PCOS is a stressful experience, and constantly worrying about it and other lifestyle factors can put an even bigger strain on your body. Stress can contribute to the increased levels of androgens in your body, worsening your symptoms and increasing your risk of other chronic conditions like diabetes.

You can start managing stress by figuring out the root cause, whether it’s work, home life, your condition, or other factors. You integrate things like meditation, enjoying a hobby, or spending time in nature into your schedule, which can increase your happy hormones. As mentioned, exercise is also a great stress-buster and allows you to manage other PCOS symptoms and decrease stress. Above all, it’s important to be easy on yourself when dealing with PCOS. It’s not an easy journey, but accepting the setbacks, taking breaks, and allowing yourself to mess up sometimes can help you view yourself and your body in a better light. A loving mindset can take even more pressure off you when you aren’t hard on yourself for not being perfect, making it easier to manage your condition.

 

What is Womb Healing? How Does it Work?

 
womb-healing

We store so many powerful memories in our womb. It is the strongest organ in a woman’s body, able to grow and birth a baby, a powerful source of our intuitive guidance, and our ability to set boundaries and feel worthy in our lives. 

These days I am supporting many, many women to heal repressed emotions and trauma stored in the womb, to claim their inherent self-worth, confidence and connection to their inner light and power. 

As more people are awakening in the world to the sacred power of the feminine essence, the power to soften, to rest, to breathe and be, to turn within, many are also awakening to the power of their womb. Many Priestesses of ancient times practiced the sacred art of womb healing, among other skills such as anointing, midwifery, and sharing wisdom as an oracle. I see many women awakening to these hidden gifts now.

I believe many women who are here to be great leaders and healers go through an womb initiation in their lives. Whether it’s a health challenge, a sexual assault, an abortion or miscarriage, there are so many experiences we might go through that call us into our healing and empowerment.

An initiation is when you are faced with a challenging experience that changes you in some way - when you transform and become a different person on the other side. 

Sometimes these initiations take years to go through and find completion, and other times they complete in an instant.

When we are willing to face these challenging initiations and ask, “How could this be happening for me, instead of to me?”  we have a huge opportunity for growth and discovery of our gifts and power.

In womb healing, we revisit difficult memories from our past stored in our womb, and with the support of a skilled guide, uncover what beliefs were formed, what emotions still need to be felt, and heal the memories so that we can imprint new beliefs in the subconscious.

I hold space for women to heal their womb, including imprints from:

  • Sexual abuse: from childhood or adulthood, whether it was recurring or a single moment of assault or rape 

  • Violated boundaries: when a moment of trauma happens and we freeze - it’s in these moments we often fail to find our voice and to speak our truth

  • Abortion, miscarriage, and/or still birth

  • Challenges with fertility 

  • Shame around the womb, menstrual cycle and sexuality 

  • Physical womb health challenges such as fibroids, cysts, painful menstrual cycles, and cervical dysplasia

  • Difficult or traumatic experiences from giving birth 

  • Difficult or traumatic experiences from one’s own birth 

  • Religious / Catholic programming around the body and sexuality 

  • One’s own experiences in the womb of their mother 

  • Early memories of adoption 

  • One’s relationship to the mother line 

  • One’s relationship to receiving, self- worth, and relationship to the feminine 

The Power of the Womb 

“In the past and in present-day indigenous traditions, women have known that the womb houses the greatest power a woman possesses: the power to create on all levels. Utilized in the process of giving birth, this power of creation can also be tapped in the birth of projects, careers, personal healing, spirituality, and relationships. However, because the womb stores the energetic imprint of every intimate encounter--loving or not--the creative voice of the womb is often muffled or absent altogether, affecting the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of women and their relationships…” ~ Anaiya Sophia

What does a womb healing session look like? 

I use the modalities of EFT (Tapping) and Multidimensional Timeline Healing where we travel into memories that are ready for healing. We drop into the space of the womb, access the subconscious and compassionately connect with your younger self or past self to heal the moments of challenge or trauma. We will then allow those memories to be re-lived in a new way, and imprint the new core beliefs into your womb space.

How do I know it would be helpful for me? 

Consider these journaling questions to see if a womb healing session may be helpful for you. If you feel a “charge” come up around any of these questions, it’s a sign that a womb healing session could be calling to you…

  • When did I not honor my own boundaries?

  • When was the first time I felt violated?

  • Did I ever feel shame around my sexuality?

  • Did I ever feel shame around my menstrual cycle? 

  • How do I feel about being a woman?

  • Have I had any physical health challenges related to the womb? What could they be telling me?

  • What difficult memories are ready to be healed?

  • Do I feel worthy and enough? 

  • Have I had any abortions or miscarriages that I may still be holding grief around?

  • What was my experience of giving birth? 

  • Do I know anything about being in the womb or my own birth?

  • What's my relationship to my mother?

  • When do I struggle speaking up for myself or asking for what I want?

  • How do I feel about charging for my work?

  • What holds me back from fully expressing myself?

What are the benefits of womb healing? 

  • Helping women regain connection to their creativity

  • A deeper sense of self-worth and confidence 

  • Freedom in self-expression 

  • Living free from shame 

  • Creating new powerful beliefs around receiving and self-worth 

  • Improved relationship to children 

  • Empowered relationship to the masculine 

  • Empowered relationship to sexuality

  • Healing physical health related to the womb 

  • Recognizing that you and your voice matter 

  • A deeper ability to receive, often leading to earning more money 

  • Improved relationship to the masculine and ability to trust men, leading to improved relationships and ability to call in love 

  • Finding one’s voice and ability to speak up and set boundaries 

This work is a deep calling for me, something I have been holding space for, for lifetimes. It is a true honor to work with women in this way, and to witness the passage of a woman reclaiming her connection to her womb and power.

Available for a Limited Time: Healing the Womb: 1:1 Sessions to Heal the Past and Activate Your Manifestation Power: http://www.risingwomenleaders.com/womb

A few weeks ago I visited Maui, considered the Sacral Chakra of the islands and heard the voice of Gaia say, “Heal their wombs to heal the planet.”

And I realized there’s a skill I have that I haven’t been sharing with you.

When I began offering somatic healing modalities in my work, I discovered almost all the women I was working with had experienced some form of sexual abuse or trauma related to the womb in their life. 

I saw how when we addressed those old wounds and brought love and healing to the memories, these women were so much more confident, excited and ready to move forward with their dreams. 

Over the past three years I’ve worked with women who’ve experienced traumatic hospital birth experiences, abortion, miscarriage, and physical or sexual abuse. As we healed these memories, both big and small, I watched as they began to shine ever more brightly.

I now know 1 out of every 2 women has experienced some form of sexual abuse or womb violation in her life. 

These experiences directly affect our ability to feel like we matter, we are worthy, and that what we have to say is of importance.  It hinders our self-esteem, makes us want to play small and hide away from the world. 

As a certified Matrix Re-imprinting practitioner, EFT facilitator, trained coach, initiated Priestess and compassionate listener, it is my mission to reach more women who are holding on to these difficult memories that are holding them back from taking courageous steps and living at their highest potential.

Some challenges you may be experiencing if you you’ve had a violation:

  • not able to hold boundaries 

  • not feeling like your voice matters

  • unable to charge what you’re really worth

  • questioning and doubting your creative projects

  • feeling stuck or stagnant

  • disconnected from the energy of creation and your inherent power

When the womb is violated and we feel a trauma we often disconnect from this sacred power center because there is just too much pain or shame. 

Do you struggle with feeling safe to receive?

To experience pleasure? 

Do you yearn to feel more confident?

To have better boundaries?

To tap into your feminine power of creation?

To deeply believe in yourself?

In the month of November I’m offering 1:1 sessions to

HEAL PAST TRAUMA + ACTIVATE YOUR MANIFESTATION POWER 

Living from a Healed Womb Opens the Door to:

Better boundaries 

Feeling more confident and powerful 

Attracting healthier love relationships 

Feeling more empowered to give birth

Discovering a deeper connection to source and your ability to manifest

These sessions are especially potent if you’ve experienced:

Birth trauma 

Abortion 

Miscarriage 

Painful menstrual cycles 

Difficult sexual experiences 

Medical trauma related to the womb 

Your womb power is directly linked to your ability to manifest 

Imagine birthing a new generation from a healed womb

Birthing children into a world who know who they are and what they came here to do. 

Imagine birthing your creative projects from a healed womb

To know your inherent sense of self-worth and purpose…

 IT ALL BEGINS IN THE WOMB

No more seeking validation from the outside

Discover your true source of self-worth and power from within

Womb Healing Benefits:

Tap into your creative power to manifest your dreams

Experience more confidence in birthing creative projects 

Discover an unshakeable self-love and self-worth from within

Experience being fully witnessed, seen and heard in sharing your story 

Heal relationship to the masculine for healthier, more positive relationships 

Experience less fear around giving birth / Heal past memories around giving birth

Why am I doing this? 

I believe the source of our manifestation power as women begins from a healed womb. It is our source of connection to spirit and higher guidance. 

Imagine what happens when we numb out and disconnect from that source…

We lose our connection to our power, to our ability to create, to speak up for what we believe in. We lack self-confidence and we don’t believe what we have to say truly matters. A woman who has experienced trauma, or simply doesn’t believe in herself will struggle to set boundaries, she’ll struggle asking for what she really wants, and she will have a difficult time earning the income she really wants to earn.

IT IS MY MISSION TO SEE MORE WOMEN SHINING AT THEIR BRIGHTEST, OWNING THEIR WORTH AND USING THEIR VOICE TO BE A BEACON OF LIGHT FOR OTHERS TO AWAKEN IN THIS WORLD.

As part of this mission, I see living in the world from a healed womb as an integral place to start.


FAQ: 

What if I don’t have a physical womb/uterus? Can I still benefit from these sessions? (hysterectomy, transgender male to female) 

I believe there is an energetic imprint of the womb that every female-identified person has, even if they do not have a physical uterus.  Our sessions will work with any memories where you did not honor your boundaries, you felt violated, or weren’t able to speak up for yourself. Many of these circumstances are related to sexuality, abortion, miscarriage, giving birth, or experiences in the medical system that did not feel self-honoring. Inside, you’ll know if there is a trauma, a story, big or small that wants to be heard and healed, and I am here to be a loving guide on your path to healing.

What does a healing session look like? How does it work? 

I use the modalities of EFT (Tapping) and Matrix Re-imprinting to uncover past memory or memories that are ready for healing. We will compassionately connect with the image, your younger self to heal the moment of challenge or trauma. We will then allow that memory to be re-lived in a new way, and imprint the picture and new core belief into your subconscious.

In addition to the private healing session, I also will send you two recordings - one is a guided meditation for healing the womb. The other is a recording all about the womb and Sacral Chakra.  These recordings will be available to you immediately upon purchase.

What can I expect to happen after my session? 

These sessions work on the level of rewiring core beliefs. We will discover what beliefs were formed in moments of past trauma and allow your subconscious to heal the memory and create a new core belief to operate from.  When we uplevel in this way, we will begin to see shifts in our outside world. Whether it’s more confidence to execute a creative dream, or to ask for what you want, to set better boundaries, or to charge more for your work, the possibilities are endless.

What have you seen happen?

After these types of healing sessions I’ve seen women feel more confident speaking up or public speaking, birth their creative projects and dreams, feel more empowered giving birth to their children, and making peace and having a better understanding about difficult past memories. 

How can I prepare? 

Take some time to meditate or journal on the following questions: When did I not honor my own boundaries? When was the first time I felt violated? What difficult memories are ready to be healed?  When do I struggle speaking up for myself or asking for what I want? How do I feel about charging for my work? What holds me back from fully expressing myself?

Testimonials:

MEREDITH IS NOTHING LESS THAN A SOUL RETRIEVER AND A GIFTED INTUITIVE HEALER, AND I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER AND HER WORK ENOUGH. 

From the first session, I felt completely at ease. Meredith created the sense of safety and strength that I needed for processing some deeply traumatic experiences and emotions that I had been holding onto for decades. It has been a miracle to finally begin to release all that trapped energy with such a gentle and skilled guide. 

~ Jen Ditchik

“The work I did with Meredith in one hour, has had a more resonant effect on me than any therapy I've ever done...” 

~ Olivia

“Working with Meredith has been the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.” 

I had an abortion a few years ago and I wasn’t expecting to share this with anyone. Yet one day she told the women in our program if anyone has experienced womb trauma, an abortion or miscarriage that we could share our story with her during our one on one session.

I didn’t see how I could heal from this, give myself love, or forgive myself, but Meredith held space for me to do all of this.

In our session, I met Mary Magdalene and the Spirit Baby. I reprogrammed the night the spirit baby was conceived and the day I chose to have an abortion. Meredith showed me I could communicate with my spirit babies, that I could grieve a pregnancy I didn’t want, and that I didn’t need to carry shame because of my choice. 

I now have so much love and forgiveness surrounding my decision, myself, and the spirit baby. Without Meredith I wouldn’t know any of this was possible.

~ Amber

Meredith helped me spread my wings and fly. I think every woman should have 1:1 healing with her; it is the greatest gift you could give yourself.

Meredith is a natural healer. In my experience she has a gift for creating a sacred space that allows one's own soul to rise to the surface and offer clear guidance and wisdom. It's hard to put into words, but I will try: she allowed me to hear my heart song. She guided me to strip off layers of crappy false beliefs and she helped me tap into my intuition and my own Inner Guidance. She helped me to heal very old wounds that I did not even realize were keeping me stuck. 

~ Renee Linnell,

Again this is the only time I’ll be offering these sessions as a single or 3 package sign up, especially at this rate - there are also a limited number of these sessions available so I encourage you to go to risingwomenleaders.com/womb to sign up for your session today. 

Blessing your womb… with all my love,

Namaste
