And right there and then I said ‘I will never go to another doctor again for this’. I am going to help and I am going to heal this, not only for myself but for other women, because I didn’t want other women to go through what I went through.” (8:03) “I think that sometimes we look for these grandiose things that we are going to do, like ‘oh my god I am going to do the biggest thing ever’. But it is actually everyday behaviors that we need to modify so that we are successful with the pelvic floor.” (13:03) “I believe that all women should learn this work as a part of being a woman.” (15:59) “What I don’t want women to do is to do 10,000 Kegels and feel like that is going to solve their problems because everything is interconnected.” (24:06) “The intricacies is not one size fits all, you have to find the medicine that you body jives with and that your body resonates with.” (25:50)   Resources Mentioned The Ultimate Guide to Happier Lady Parts The Pelvic Pain Relief Website   Other Resources: Register for the Essential Oil Hormone Summit Here Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
