(Ep. 94) The Pelvic Floor Connection with Emily Bessemer

On this weeks episode of The Beats with Kelly Kennedy we sit down with Emily Bessemer. Emily is a wealth of knowledge and reveals of profound insight and wisdom of the bodies true nature and functions especially in regards to the pelvic floor and fascia in this episode. Although the topics are vast they are all intimately connected and may even sound rather similar to Kelly’s own knowledge and message!

Professionally Emily is a manual physical therapist with specialties in pelvic health (specifically pelvic pain, women’s health and menstrual cycle management/endometriosis), as well as cancer rehabilitation, chronic pain management, lymphedema, craniosacral, and energy work. She has been a reiki master practitioner and LOVES integrating energy work with manual components of care. Emily looks at the body/brain and spirit as a whole and treats from this place that’s what inspired her to open her practice EmBodied Physical Therapy where she uses utilizing energy work, manual techniques, yoga and mind/body medicine to help a person live from their true energy.
