I recently connected with Jennie Delreeve, a health practicioner who, alongside her partner Duncan, help women who have experienced trauma feel safe, strong, and confident in mind and body to reverse pelvic organ prolapse naturally and return to running, lifting, and high-impact sports!
Duncan works with the body, and Jennie with the mind and emotional repatterning.
Jennie was told that she would never heal three very severe prolapses by several medical professionals. She was also told to forget her active lifestyle. She always loved running, lifting, skiing, climbing, and playing with our kids. This was one of the lowest points of her life.
She thought she was beyond her past s*xual abuse trauma, but soon realized that although she was no longer in the trauma of the experience, the emotional patterns still remained.
She knew that if she moved out of a dominant emotional set point of vulnerability to a place of safety, she would no longer manifest the most vulnerable part of my body falling out!
She healed in 9 months and has never looked back. At age 49, she do CrossFit 4 times a week, ski, run, and jump.
I'm so glad to introduce you to this powerhouse team!

RACHEL: What inspired you to start writing about/exploring this topic?
JENNIE: I have been a life coach, health practitioner, and law of attraction mentor since 2008, so when I got the prolapses, I was so shocked! "Why me?", I thought.
It seemed I was doing all the right things: healthy eating, meditation, gut cleanses, drinking water, and all the other stuff. However, I knew that instability in the mind = instability in the body.
I soon realized that the vulnerability pattern from s*xual abuse was still running wild in my life - fear of the dark, fear my kids would be abducted, fear I would be attacked when out running alone, and very low self-worth.
I have coined this the "vulnerability to defensiveness" cycle. I had experienced anger and rage my whole life, but I couldn't admit it because I was a "coach." As soon as I embraced my emotions authentically, allowed myself to feel them without judgment, and authentically processed the patterns, my body fully healed to the amazement of three urogynaecologist.
I celebrated by competing in a strong woman competition!
RACHEL: What key insights or lessons have you learned through your experiences with this subject?
JENNIE: You can do all the things, such as meditating, drinking water, and the list goes on, but you can never "out-act" emotional patterns.
They will eventually manifest in the physical body. Tension in the mind equals tension in the body. When you feel vulnerable, you will often manifest physical issues in the most vulnerable part of your body.
Allowing yourself to feel anger and using techniques to move it through the body is a gateway to better-feeling emotions.
Anger is a powerful and transformative emotion.
RACHEL: What challenges or misconceptions do you think people face when dealing with this topic, and how can they overcome them?
JENNIE: Most women have been told that pelvic organ prolapse is purely a physical issue and that it cannot be healed.
They are also told that even if they have surgery, the success rate is very low, and they will need subsequent surgeries.
This causes women to feel powerless and incapacitated.
The future looks bleak!
29 prolapses healed in the last year in our Unshakeable You program.
These are only the success stories we are allowed to share because we can only share the journeys of the women who received confirmation from a pelvic floor physical therapist or urogynecologist.
Women overcome this by dealing with the emotional patterns created by sexual trauma and inspirational stories of hope from other women who have healed.
RACHEL: Are there any common myths or misunderstandings about this topic that you'd like to address?
JENNIE: That ligaments, fascia, and torn muscles can't heal.
That a prolapse is purely a hernia and can't heal.
We have physical protocols in our program, as well as emotional processes.
However, the human body is more than a meat suit.
We all have an energy field that attracts according to our emotional patterns.
As soon as you start to feel a little differently, you switch on the healing blueprint inside every cell in your body.
Fascia, ligaments, muscles, and tendons are intelligent.
A new reality can find you when your cells react to consciousness rather than negative thinking and feeling.
Many of the women in our program heal in 3-6 months.
RACHEL: What resources, tools, or next steps would you recommend for readers who want to dive deeper into this topic?
JENNIE: We have a website and YouTube channel where you can delve into our Blueprint and watch inspirational healing stories.
We also run a free weekly masterclass called "3 Secrets to Heal Your Prolapse." The masterclass is a live, interactive group masterclass with Jennie. We deep dive into the Unshakeable You Blueprint.

UPCOMING EVENTS
The fear of abandonment is extremely common in those of us who have been abused. When it comes to abandonment, we are very much driven by a fear of the unknown. We do not know if the people we are connecting to may one day withdraw their protection or support.
"People always leave" can be a common inner belief we hold. Some of the behaviors that we fall into as survivors to try to avoid being abandoned can set us up for failure in our relationships.
Boy have I been there! And I can't wait to share with you what helped me put an end to this paralyzing fear.
By participating this master class, you will:
* Gain access to my proven process that will help you feel more confident and secure so you can have a romantic relationship that lasts
* Explore in a safe step-by-step way the destructive false beliefs you have about yourself and others that cause you to run away from relationships
* Identify the toxic behaviors that keep you trapped in a cycle of abandonment and fear and how to overcome them
* Learn practical, easy to use strategies for how to put an end to sabotaging all of your relationships

HOPE
As survivors going through the healing process, it’s beyond difficult at times to have hope. We may not even want to hope because we don’t feel able to withstand any more hurts and disappointments. And yet hope is what keeps us from death and pulls us toward life. Without hope, we can’t heal.
