Womb Presence: Reclaiming Our Power Within

This blog is born from my own journey and from the sacred work of guiding women home to their wombs through Womb Connection and Womb Massage sessions. 

Disconnection from the Womb

We aren’t always connected to our wombs. In fact, in my experience of over 20 years of working with women and their bodies, it’s rare that we are truly connected to our bodies at all—let alone our wombs. The womb is not always a place we naturally feel safe to inhabit. For many, it has been a site of emotional wounding, shame, judgement, or boundary ruptures. And beyond our personal experiences, we live in cultures that often dismiss, suppress, or even fear the power of the womb, teaching us to disconnect from this sacred space within.

Womb as a Place of Sovereignty

What I know to be true for myself—and for countless women I’ve walked alongside—is that when we begin the journey back to our womb space, something extraordinary happens: we reclaim our power. The womb is a place of sovereignty. Here lives your life-force, your creative essence, your deep sensuality, and your feminine embodiment woven into the senses. Your sexual energy, which is not only about intimacy with another—it is your receptivity, your ability to nurture, your radiance, your magnetism. It is the pulse of your feminine vitality.

Coming Home to the Body

When we reconnect to our womb, we come home to our bodies. We root down into presence, instead of hovering outside ourselves or escaping from discomfort. Womb connection becomes a doorway into the sacred feminine magic we all hold within—a magic that is not abstract or elusive, but living, breathing, and deeply felt.

Releasing What is Stored

As we grow curious about our womb space, we often encounter the emotions that we’ve buried here: grief, fear, rage, longing, or even memories we hadn’t realise we carried. For good reason, these emotions were tucked away, held in the body for protection. Yet, doing this takes an enormous amount of energy to keep them locked inside. Imagine how much life-force is spent keeping the lid on this container—energy that could instead be liberated, flowing outward into the world as creativity, love, and authentic expression. When we begin to release what is stored, we create spaciousness. This space becomes fertile ground for new visions, new possibilities, and a more vibrant way of living.

✨ If you’re curious about what might be held in your own womb space, and how freeing it could feel to release it with loving support, I offer 1:1 Womb Connection Sessions. These sessions are a safe, nurturing container for you to gently explore your womb wisdom, process what’s been stored, and reclaim your energy for what truly matters. Learn more here.

Archetypes of the Womb

The womb is also a bridge to archetypal energies: the Maiden, the Mother, the Queen, and the Crone. Through her we touch the very cycles of our lives—our own blood cycles, the turning of the seasons, the shifting phases of growth, ripening, and renewal. Whether you are bleeding, entering peri-menopause, or moving through the mystery of menopause, the womb offers a compass, orienting you to where you are in your own unique cycle of becoming.

Elemental connection

Womb presence also connects us to the elements—earth, fire, air, and water, spirit. Grounding us, walking us home, re-stoking our sacred fire within,  breathing inspiration and finding freedom in air, helping us feel into the waters of our emotions, and fall back into deep trust and surrender into mystery, the unknown.  When these elements are balanced within, we find harmony in body, mind, and spirit.

Practices for womb presence

Embodied practices such as womb massage, breath, sound, movement and dance help awaken this connection. They open the felt sense—the feminine knowing that arises not from the mind, but from deep within the body. Through these practices we begin to soften, to listen, to trust. We learn to inhabit ourselves fully, to move with life rather than against it.

My Own Womb Journey

I was 49 when I first gave conscious attention to the emotions stored in my womb. Truthfully, I was terrified. The thought of opening that container felt overwhelming. But I knew the time had come. I knew I couldn’t keep holding everything in, not if I wanted to live with freedom and authenticity. As I began to gently release and process what was there, I discovered a new kind of strength—a strength rooted not in holding it all together, but in holding myself in love. Read more about me.

Returning to the Sacred Feminine

The womb is not a burden to carry, nor a mystery to fear. She is a sanctuary, a source of wisdom, a wellspring of power. When we return to her, we remember who we are.

Womb Connection Practice

Before you read any more, take a pause here—a deep breath.

Put down your phone or laptop. Place both of your hands gently over your womb space.

Allow yourself to feel your belly rising to meet your hands as you breathe in, and let your hands sink deeper into connection with your womb as you exhale.

Presence yourself here. Feel your pelvic bones. Is there a movement your body wishes to make? Or a visual image, a sound, or a sensation arising? Be curious.

Perhaps you feel warmth, coolness, numbness, a pulse. Maybe you see vivid colours, or feel an emotion, or hear an inner sound. Whatever arises, know that all is welcome.

This simple practice is about presence—about feeling the energy of your womb. Connecting here draws you deep into your body, into the seat of your feminine wisdom. You have the power to open the doorway into your felt sense, your joy, your creative force, and your connection with all of life.

This is womb wisdom. This is your magic.

A Gentle Invitation

If you felt even the smallest shift while practicing this, imagine what could unfold when you give yourself dedicated time and guidance to explore your womb connection more deeply.

I offer Womb Connection Sessions and Womb Massage to support you in reclaiming this sacred space within—so that you can release what no longer serves, awaken your vitality, and embody your feminine power with softness and strength.

If your womb is calling you into deeper presence, I would be honoured to walk beside you.
