There are countless stories that have shamed our bodies causing us to disconnect from one of the most essential and potent parts of our body; the pelvis.
It has huge consequences on our health and vitality and has detached us from our innate wisdom, depth, and sense of self.
Without any embodied connection to our pelvis, navigating things like periods, menstrual health, sexuality, pregnancy, birth, postnatal, motherhood and menopause - becomes ever more difficult and confusing. Women feel completely disempowered, disconnected and out of touch with their inner creative life force.
It is my mission to change this!
Ending the taboo begins when we start to connect to the places society have told us not to.
Elixir is a unique online LIVE workshop led by Katy Kettner, split into two sessions, covering:
Embodied anatomy education
Pelvic and vulva mapping
Breath work
Hands on practices and exploration of the landscape of the pelvis and vulva
(including how to aid the healing of birth injuries)
When?
October 19th AND 26th - 10.30am - 1.5hr
Where?
Online, LIVE, via zoom.
Recordings can be sent after the workshop for those unable to make it LIVE.
£39 (£33 Early bird price until 23/09)
Want to deepen your relationship and begin to claim back the area of your body society has taught you to avoid?
Want to know how to begin to cultivate and explore the area of your body mapped with trillions of networks of pleasure and creativity?
Have you always felt disconnected to or ashamed of your sexuality or your vulva?
Have you always avoided your pelvic area, or never really been conscious of it?
Do you feel awkward or embarrassed by your pussy? Your desire for pleasure, for wholeness, for a deep ok-ness with the nuisance and uniqueness of your body? And finding yourself wondering what it would be like to not feel that way?
​
Has pregnancy, birth or menopause suddenly brought your attention to how disconnected you are to your vulva and vagina?
Do you want to get more in touch with yourself as woman or vulva owner? Do you want to learn how to tap into the intelligence of your pelvic tissues? The alchemical potency of your pussy?
In a slow and safe space to allow us to infuse any emotional or physical discomfort with our loving awareness.
Do you crave a life with more Yin, more moon energy...a life filled with rivers of slowness, forest's of depth and oceans of authentic connection? Do you long to unfold out in more of your feminine range?
​
Come and sink into the wildness of your Pelvis...

For over 5000 years culture has viewed a woman's body as weak, inferior and less-than. Femininity has been polarised and associated with traits like 'submissive' (especially to the masculine). While submissive isn't bad in itself, assigning these conditions to women and our bodies has stopped us accessing the source of true power deep within the doorways of our body.

THE PELVIC TISSUES ARE KEEPER OF DEEP STORIES...LET'S BEGIN EXPLORING THEM TOEGTHER!

This workshop is a journey down into our root.
Discovering the intricacies, sweet pleasures and wisdom when we reacquaint ourselves with our vulva and vagina!
Sinking down into the places society has told us not to; and drinking of the nectar..
Discovering the medicine and wholeness when we integrate and claim back our pelvis and pussy!
Discovering the liberation when we flood any narratives of shame or pain with curiosity and care.​​​

'The quintessential feminine Self stands at the center of the psyche and it is wild, meaning natural and free, and utterly wise. It is not 'something' we must strive to create. This Self is already fully present, burning strong and waiting for us to come into its presence.' ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes​

DARE TO BE THAT WOMAN WHO IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO HERSELF...
​
An online workshop split into two 90-minute sessions where we will cover anatomy education and how to map out our own pelvis, vulva and vagina. We will explore some pelvic breath work and there will be an opportunity to learn about some hands on and hands in therapeutic touch with our v + v (Cameras will be turned off for those who want to explore during the session but this is not compulsory). We will learn how to meet and care for any areas or layers of pain or discomfort. We will also cover how to work with your vulva and pelvic floor in relation to scar tissue or following any birth injuries. Q+A section at the end...
​
My goal is that you will finish this workshop equipped with tools to explore and try in your own time. My hope is that connecting to your pelvic area will feel less daunting and alien to you, and you will feel somewhat encouraged and inspired to deeply connecting with yourself in this way.
By the end of the workshop you will more better understand the anatomy of your pelvis and vulva. An opportunity to get the sex ed you never got at school.
​​​
Trauma responsibility - Please note: this workshop is intended for those who want to begin to or deepen their journey and relationship with their vulva and vagina.
However if you experience physical or emotional distress when you touch, or think about touching your vulva...I would recommend seeing me 1:1 - not this workshop.
​
FAQ's
Why am I doing this workshop:
Because I feel as women and vulva owners, we have been robbed of the potency and powerful qualities that belong to the pelvic ground. In a patriarchal culture, it makes sense why we are so cut off from our vulvas and vagina's - they have been sexualised, controlled, shamed and compartmentalised. And yet, as a women myself, connecting and embodying my pelvic bowl and all it contains have been essential in my relationship with myself as a woman, my sexuality, my pleasure, my creativity, my relationship to nature. All of which has been integral to my spirituality and connection to the world around me.
Everyday as a pelvic health physio I see women take this journey in re-connecting back to this part of their body and it's life-changing for them. So I want to offer what I offer not just in my 1:1 practice, but to EVERY woman. Every woman deserves to reclaim their pussy for them! Every woman deserves to undo the lies and disconnection. Every women deserves the basic sex education they never got in school.
To me the pelvis represents so much. The journey back into the pelvic bowl is not just an emotionally and physically one, but a political one. We have a right to enjoy and embody this part of our body without shame or embarrassment.
​
What will I learn:
This workshop is designed to be informative and educational, as well as provide a safe container for us to learn some hands on techniques. It is not classed as any form of treatment.
The aim of this workshop is to inform and empower you with education that will help you understand YOUR body. The part of your body you were never taught anything about. I will equip you with tool to help you re-connect to your wildly feminine range.
We will explore ways of re-connecting to our pelvic area and vulva with breathwork. We will then explore how to approach our bodies with congruent and therapeutic touch. Meeting all the layers along the way.
​
What if I can't attend live?
It's not compulsory to attend the workshops live. Recordings of each workshop will be sent out afterwords.
​
I feel embarrassed, cringe and disgusted by my vulva, can I still participate?
Yes. This workshop is the perfect place to start. Some people may experience feelings of liberation and connection when first beginning to explore their vulva and vagina. It's also ok to feel numb, 'icky', 'nothingness', shame, embarrassment, grief, joy, pain, pleasure or tension. Whatever you feel is ok, and it's all information. Feeling our way through layers of discomfort and conditioning is what allows us to integrate our pelvis back into our whole, and claim our vulva as our own.
​
Do I have to have had a baby for this workshop:
Absolutely not. This workshop is for any women or vulva owner over the age of 18. It's never too late and you are never too old. I often find that women who have had babies wish they had in some way connected to their pelvic floor and vagina's prior having children. So this is perfect for any stage in your life.
​
Do I have to do the hands on/hands in massage:
No. You are not encouraged to do anything you are uncomfortable doing. Learning how to massage your own pelvic floor is something I think every woman and vulvas owner should know. It's an incredible tool to help nurture and take care of that part of our body, as well as aid any healing and recovery. Over a decade of teaching women massage techniques for their vulva's and pelvic floor...I have seen it be life-changing for so many. I will be teaching the techniques during the workshop. For those who want to try out the techniques during the workshop, thats absolutely fine (cameras will be off). However, there is absolutely no obligation. There will be lots of different women at the workshop with different levels of comfort and experiences. A lot of women may find it more comfortable to explore with the practices outside of the workshop, in their own space.
The most important thing is that this workshop serves YOU in the best way possible. It will be an informative and encouraging workshop. I support and encourage you to track your edges and we will cover this in the session.
