119- Grounded Healing: How Touching the Earth Supports Your Nervous System, Pain Relief & Pelvic Floor Recovery

If you’ve been feeling tense, tight, or just… disconnected from your body — this episode is your invitation to literally come back down to Earth 🌍

Dr. Desiree dives into the beautiful science + somatic wisdom of grounding — the practice of reconnecting to the Earth through skin contact (like walking barefoot or laying in the grass). You’ll learn how this simple, free tool can completely shift your nervous system, reduce symptoms like pelvic floor tightness or pain, and help you feel more at home in your body again.

Whether you're postpartum, in a season of stress, or struggling to reconnect with your core... grounding might be the missing piece in your healing. ✨

Inside this episode:

• What grounding actually is — and why it’s so powerful

• How grounding impacts your nervous system and stress hormones

• The surprising connection between grounding + pelvic floor healing

• Why your core might not be activating — and how to gently reset it

• 4 ways to start grounding today (even if you live in the city!)

This is for you if:

• You feel like your body is stuck in tension or holding

• You’re leaking, experiencing prolapse or pain, or not feeling “connected”

• You’ve been doing the exercises but not seeing results

• You want to support your pelvic floor without over-efforting

🎁 Bonus: This episode pairs beautifully with the Regulate to Rebuild Bonus module inside RESTORE — available now in your app!
