A new approach to Pelvic Pain

A woman looks out towards the mountains and rising sun

At Vera Wellness, we know complex pelvic pain needs a different approach

For women living with endometriosis, adenomyosis, vaginismus, painful sex, or ongoing cycle-related discomfort – real healing rarely happens in a single appointment.

These conditions are deeply connected to the nervous system, and lasting change requires education, safety, and repetition.

From November 2025, you can begin your healing journey in one of two ways:

Heal Your Pelvic Pain course on laptop, ipad and smart phone

OPTION 1 – SELF-PACED SUPPORT

Heal Your Pelvic Pain: A 10-part online course

Led by Dr Peta Wright, Dr Thea Bowler, and holistic physiotherapist Paula Hindle, this evidence-based course is the foundation of our approach – blending the latest neuroscience with trauma-informed, body-based healing practices.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the science of chronic pain and why education itself is a powerful tool for healing

  • Calm and retrain your nervous system using proven regulation techniques

  • Recognise and release subconscious tension patterns that keep pain in place

  • Integrate simple, daily practices to support your recovery and reduce flare-ups

  • Rebuild trust in your body – creating a foundation for long-term healing and resilience

OPTION 2 – PERSONALISED CARE

The Pelvic Pain Package: A 6-month pathway

For women seeking specialist, one-to-one care, our integrated package brings everything together – with hands-on guidance from a Pelvic Pain Patient Advocate who will walk with you from start to finish.

What’s included:

  • Access to the Heal Your Pelvic Pain online course (start immediately) to help you understand your pain and begin creating safety and change in your body

  • Three sessions with a nervous-system-informed women’s health physiotherapist to help release tension, retrain muscle patterns, and support your body’s return to safety and ease

  • One 90-minute gynaecology consultation with a Vera specialist to work with you on hormonal and medication options as well as decisions around surgery (if appropriate)

  • Ongoing check-ins and coordination from your Patient Advocate for the full six months

  • A follow-up 45-minute gynaecology review to refine your plan and ensure everything is on track

This package supports neuroplastic changes, reduces overwhelm, and gives you ongoing guidance while you build new foundations of safety and resilience.
