Let’ s get Acquainted with our Body!
Welcome to your women’s sexuality section!
My name is Julie Demers and I will be your host for the next year! Today I want us to get acquainted……together but also with our body. To have a fulfilled sex life, you need to be comfortable with certain parts of your body and today I will introduce you to the pelvic floor! The pelvic floor is responsible for orgasm, it should not be overlooked! (And you ’ll have an exercise to help enhance sensations too!)
First, let me introduce myself! I am a holistic pelvic floor therapist. In the past 11 years, I have helped hundreds of women with pelvic floor symptoms.
Those symptoms could be:
Yes, the pelvic floor can be responsible for all those symptoms and I help women regain control so that they can claim their body back, and have better confidence in any activity they undertake.
Now is the time to get acquainted with your pelvic floor and connect with it! It’s a part of our body that isn’t discussed much for different reasons, but it doesn’t make it less important!

What does it do?
It is responsible for orgasm. It is part of the support system for the pelvic organs like the bladder, the uterus, and the rectum. It helps hold our posture. It is responsible for continence. Preventing leaks when you are not ready to pee, and relaxing when you are ready!
These muscles are the floor of your pelvic, they are sometimes called the Kegels muscles. Dr. Kegel invented the first set of exercises for the pelvic floor in the 18th century, but we now know that the pelvic floor has 3 layers and needs different types of exercises!
The pelvic floor is also very important in Eastern medicine it is related to the root and sacral chakras and is also very important in Mula bandhas in yoga.
Let’s create the connection with our pelvic floor…and have fun with it too!
With the following technique, you will be able to connect to your pelvic floor, help you be present with your body sensations, and might even awaken your mood for sexuality.
Breathing circle:
You can imagine your breath moving inside your body for better visualization. Breathe in and imagine the breath moving downwards in the front of your body and then back toward the tail bone at the base of your spine. During this movement, your pelvic floor relaxes. Breathe out, and imagine the breath moving back up the back of your body, to the top of your head while your pelvic floor contracts and lifts. This completes one circle of movement. You can start with a slower pace, but you can increase the rate of breaths per minute while focusing on your pelvic floor. You can repeat as many times as you feel comfortable. Did you try it? Did you feel your pelvic floor? Send me an email with “Breath” in the subject line and let me know! I will send you a bonus exercise!

I hope this article gave you a glimpse of the power your pelvic floor holds! In the next year we will talk about how it changes throughout stages of life, and we’ll discuss how having more control down there will make you feel sexier and more confident in all aspects of your life. Until then, connect and have fun!
