Internal Pelvic Release Work Mentoring Programme
Australia
~ 2026 ~
This body of knowledge is based on the collective experiences of 3 independent bodyworkers
- Jenny Blyth, Andrea Lopez and Fiona Hallinan -
all of whom have specialised in working with those who have pelvic discomforts/dilemmas.
Consider it “the wisdom of the elders”.
We are getting older. The time has come to pass these learnings on.
Our intention in creating the program is to share our knowledge and skills, ensuring women everywhere can access
pelvic healing through soft tissue release.
We have nurtured thousands of women healing from birth, preparing for birth, reacquainting themselves with their pelvic goods, meeting their pelvic space for the first time, soothing tensions, healing trauma.
There is a growing demand for a variety of practitioners to address women’s pelvic health.
There is a strong need for women to know their own bodies - their sacred internal pelvic space, nurture the space
and take pride in the space.
The pelvis is NOT an empty space…amongst other important structures, this space holds our womb.
So we invite you to join us in our programme in Melbourne, Sunshine Coast & Sydney

What is Internal Pelvic Release Work?
|
Internal Pelvic Release Work is a form of bodywork that connects us to the soft tissues of the pelvis or ‘the soft pelvis’ as opposed to the bony pelvis.
All organs in the body are supported by soft tissue connections. The pelvis is the bony guardian of a woman’s reproductive organs, and has a multitude of ligaments, fascia and muscles supporting the bladder, bowel and womb (with her cervix and vagina). The intention of these fibres is to hold the organs in a balanced, suspensory fashion. The capacity of these fibres to accommodate changes within the pelvis, most notably pregnancy, is extraordinary. As in any other area of the body, soft tissues can hold tension. Tension can be conscious or unconscious. Tension can stem from scars, injuries, postural habits, trauma, surgery, hobby or lifestyle choices. Tension can restrict movement, flow, expansion, space of the bones and of the organs. Tension in soft tissues can hold memories and emotions. We can hold ‘issues in the tissues’. During an internal pelvic release session tension can be identified and invited to release with tender direct touch allowing the tissues to sigh. When tissues sigh, space is created. The vagina is a stretchable tube. Its ability to transform is gobsmacking. Women are usually only familiar with vaginal examinations that explore the top wall – as in a cervix check when in labour or for a pap smear. But the vagina has a back wall through which contact can be made with the soft tissue connections that provide stabilisation to the bones and to the organs. It’s through the back wall of the vagina that we can use tender touch and directed breathing to free tension in the ligaments, muscles, fascia and organs. |

Fiona Hallinan
Fiona is a registered nurse, registered midwife, maternal & child health nurse and bodyworker.
Fiona was initially taught ‘internal work’ by a knowledgeable teacher, Wintergreen, back in the early ‘90’s for the purpose of easing the pushing phase of birth and avoiding harm to mother’s tissues. She then studied different bodywork modalities. The practice of ‘internal work’ expanded after encountering many women with a plethora of ‘other’ pelvic discomforts, scars, or traumas and many women with confusion about their pelvic space and organs. Internal Pelvic Release Work was created and continues to expand. ThePelvicSpace.com.au |
Andrea Lopez
Andrea is well known for her beliefs in Traditional Health and Healing when it comes to supporting Women’s Health issues and prevention. With a passion for educating and supporting women through the various stages and initiations of life, she brings a wealth of experience and a collection of learnings from her travels, family heritage, motherhood and clinic practice.
Andrea has been a bodyworker from 1997, with a strong focus on Women’s Health since 2007. She has enjoyed the learnings and studies from trainings in Belize with Rosita Arvigo, along with Jen and Fiona here on Australian soil, and various other professionals and experts in the field of Women’s Health. She has whispered to many a womb over the years and finds each woman who presents in clinic, another learning and deepening of wisdom worth sharing. mamamedicina.com.au |
