This is your invitation to our latest full-day workshop:
Healing Pelvic Pain
Next date TBC
This intimate, full-day immersive event has been curated to create an embodied and shared experience - which is where the magic happens.
This isn’t your average medical education day, this day is about experiential learning.
You’ll learn more about your body and experience powerful practices to help you transform your relationship with pain.
You’ll spend time with expert pelvic floor physiotherapists, renowned yoga and mediation teachers, and have a one-on-one consultation with a Vera gynaecologist to create a personalised plan and pathway out of pain.
You’ll will be equipped with specific tools to map your pain, and calm and rewire your nervous system.
We created this day to give you the things we know make a difference - more spaciousness and a chance to be truly heard and witnessed.
We want to provide you with community, embodied wisdom, and practices that integrate body, mind and spirit to get to the heart of your healing journey.
Our aim is that you leave Vera feeling equipped with the tools and a plan for your pain treatment that feels right for you, so you can take charge of your healing and live life on your own terms.
Here’s how your day will unfold
MORNING SESSION
We’ll start the day with a women’s circle to share your story and begin the day's journey of deep connection.
We’ll guide you through key gynaecology education including menstrual physiology, and debunking some myths about endometriosis.
We’ll also cover the importance of an integrated approach to pelvic pain, how to view your cycle as a spiritual practice, nervous system regulation, and how to understand pain as a portal.
You’ll receive pelvic floor and pain flare management tools and guidance from our physiotherapists.
Then we’ll move through a powerful pain reprocessing practice with a focus on the importance of surrender rather than protection for pain.
You’ll understand how to use tools like meditation, mindfulness and somatic therapy for pain, and together do some gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system.
AFTERNOON SESSION
This is when you’ll have your individual consultation with one of our Vera gynaecologists to ensure your personal circumstances are heard and addressed.
You will experience a group sound therapy session, followed by time for reflection and a creative practice — you will have the space to rest, validate, release and transform your pain story.
This workshop has been designed to give you a profoundly transformational experience that will change your view and help you on the path to living the life you desire.

We created this day to give you the things we know make a difference - more spaciousness, a chance to be really heard, love, community, embodied wisdom and the integration of body, mind, & spirit practices that truly get to the heart of the healing journey.
The Healing Pelvic Pain Workshop will be a profoundly transformational experience that will change your view of what pain means in your life and help you on the path to living the life you desire.

The Healing Pelvic Pain Workshop is so much more than a medical consult. The day covers all the top-down and bottom-up healing practices discussed in an initial one-on-one consultation with our gynaecologists to help guide you out of pain.
Key differences between a consultation and this workshop are:
This is a fully immersive day where you receive education as well as more space, time and support to actually experience powerful practices that start you on the path to integration and transforming your relationship with your body and with pain.
You will spend time with expert pelvic floor physiotherapists, renowned yoga and meditation teachers whilst still having one-on-one time with a Vera gynaecologist so that you leave with a practical plan and pathway out of pain.
-
If you have already booked an initial consultation to see one of our gynaecologists, you do not need to cancel this appointment at this stage. Healing Pelvic Pain will cover much of the education our gynaecologists provide in an initial consult and so much more! At the end of the day, you will have a practical plan and our team will assist with the management of your pre-booked appointment.
-
The Vera pain team will spend the whole day with you combining cutting-edge pain, endometriosis and nervous system education with embodiment practices that will allow you to start to feel safe in your body. You will be supported by experts, healers and your peers and held in the potent healing natural space of Vera Wellness.
You will leave this deeply healing day having a knowledge of your body, mind and spirit that you didn't have before and because you will have experienced the power of embodiment, a regulated nervous system and the support of sisterhood you will know in your bones that healing is possible.
-
Support and healing does not end when you leave Healing Pelvic Pain. Every attendee will leave with a practical plan decided in your one-on-one consultation with Dr Peta Dr Thea, or Dr Georgia, a 3mth subscription to the Ella App, your own copy of Dr Peta’s book and ongoing care over the next two months with online support of the Vera Wellness community. You may also have further consultations.
You will also experience the power of embodiment, a regulated nervous system and feel support and know in your bones that healing is possible.
