Diagnosed with Fibroids: I Knew What To Do
For her second delivery, Lilliana Rivera did everything within her power for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), yet had another C-section delivery. In the years following she had a scar that felt as thick as an electrical cord, shooting pain, numbness, and a general disconnection to her body. When she got on the abdominal massage table, she was shocked to discover her physical symptoms disappeared — and living dormant in her tissues was an intense feeling of guilt. In her womb space, the unprocessed emotions from that second C-section still lingered unmet, untouched, and unprocessed. Meeting herself on the table was the catalyst that completely transformed the trajectory of her life. Her journey into abdominal massage and yoni steaming unlocked healing tools, a holistic health community, and mentors who would become her village. Little did she know, she was building the knowledge and network she'd lean on when diagnosed with fibroids and complex cysts. When the OBGYN delivered the diagnosis, Lilliana took a deep breath and thought — I know what to do. I know how to care for myself. I know who in my network to call in. This same trust carried her through a challenging perimenopausal moment where the bleeding would just not stop.  Learning the tools along the way and fostering a deep connection to what the body is saying affords us sovereignty within the world of women's reproductive health. Lilliana's story is a testament to what becomes possible when we build that relationship before the crisis arrives. All of these experiences underscore the hope we hold — that our daughters may grow up knowing they have the tools, the network, and the trust in self to know how to care for their wombs.   About Kitara and Womb Stories Project Womb Stories Project is the in-house podcast of Kitaralove.com, your one stop shop for everything you need for safe and effective Yoni Steaming at home.
