Support Womb Wellness, Hormone Balance & Cycle Regulation with Self-Acupressure

Hormonal shifts, cycle changes, and feelings of stagnation or disconnection in the womb can leave you looking for gentle ways to reconnect with your body and support your wellbeing. Self-acupressure offers a simple, accessible way to work with energy flow at home, using your own hands to stimulate acupressure points rather than needles. In this guided practice, Dr. Sarah Rothman, Breathwork Facilitator and Naturopathic Doctor, introduces several of her favorite acupressure points for the womb and ovaries, inviting you to explore breath, touch, awareness, and intentional pressure as tools for self-care and womb connection.
