Womb Massage

Do you know where your uterus is? If you periods are painful, it may be in the wrong place. Listen to learn why the position of the uterus matters, and how you can stay in alignment. Our guest is Megan Assaf, integrative massage therapist for women.

Show Notes

Megan Assaf had extremely painful periods from the beginning. In her late 20s, she found out her uterus was upside down, folded in half, off to the left and stuck behind her colon. She didn’t learn this from a doctor, but from a holistic healer working in a tradition that comes from the Maya people of Belize. What’s more, Megan got her uterus repositioned, and learned how to do this very hands-on work herself. Megan Assaf is a massage therapist who works with women, and has moved hundreds of uteruses, including Andrea’s.

What is LADYPARTS: taking a wide view on women's health?

To make informed decisions about our health, we have to break taboos against publicly discussing our basic bodily functions - and most perplexing symptoms. Ladyparts takes a wide view, attempting to bridge the divide between mainstream medicine and holistic healthcare, and consider all of our options.
