About Whole Woman Founder Christine Kent
When I suffered a serious uterine prolapse in the early 1990s, little did I know how profoundly the experience would transform not only my life, but the lives of thousands of woman around the world.
Fortunately, at least I knew enough to be clear I didn’t want anything to do with the surgery I was told repeatedly was now essential. All through the 90s I struggled with my prolapse, experimenting with bodywork, dance, anything and everything I could think of.
On top of the prolapse, I was entering into menopause. It all reached a point where I just had to get away and spend time alone. I packed up our truck, drove up to a tiny town on the northern California coast, and rented a little cottage overlooking the ocean.
In the midst of all this, I started what turned into a heavy, thirty-day bleed. I didn’t know it at the time, but my uterus was doing its final purge in preparation for becoming utterly quiescent in my post-menopausal years.
The bleeding was very scary at the time and I had no way of knowing how serious it was. With all I had been going through, my response was just to sit quietly and surrender myself to the vast intelligence of creation and accept whatever would happen.
Much to my amazement, with my surrender came the download. I was shown that learning how to resolve my prolapse was my life’s work.
Within a few days I packed up again, drove home, and sequestered myself in the medical school library at the University of New Mexico. It took years of exploration in the literature and texts of gynecology, orthopedics, pediatrics, even 19th century medical texts I had to study in an atmospherically controlled room wearing white gloves.
But the pieces of the puzzle began to come together. Finally, it all became clear. With the answer in hand, I started applying what I had learned to my own condition and quickly got it under control. I wrote the first edition of my book Saving the Whole Woman, put up an online forum, and started teaching other women what I had learned.
Their dramatic results and ongoing questions sent me back to the library over and over. Soon the work expanded to include chronic hip pain and other common women’s pelvic conditions including urinary incontinence, chronic hip and knee pain, as well as post--hysterectomy and menopausal challenges experienced by women.
We now have customers in over sixty countries.
For ten years I have been personally training and certifying Whole Woman Practitioners, now across the US as well as Canada, the UK, Australia, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Ghana, and this year we have students in Denmark, Bulgaria, and Israel as well.
Our mission is giving women the knowledge to heal their pelvic challenges themselves without dangerous drugs and surgery.
