aboutTami Lynn Kent
I am blessed to work with the creative energy of the female body. The female body is designed to be creative––and I’ve learned all that I know about creativity from working in this sacred place.
I’m a women’s health physical therapist, founder of the original method of Holistic Pelvic Care™ for women, and author of Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit & Joy in the Female Body, Wild Creative, and Wild Mothering. I’m in awe of the potential in our female bodies and passionate about cultivating this vibrant energy that’s meant to run through all aspects of a woman’s life. I draw upon mine daily in mothering three gorgeous sons and making my way in the world.
It wasn’t always like this.
I began my work as a Women’s Health Physical Therapist in a hospital setting. As I used the physical medicine of my profession, and saw the incredible results for women’s health, I was surprised that the profession is hardly known––in part because most practitioners work in clinical settings where clients are referred by a urologist. Therefore, a woman would have to see a urologist to even discover this aspect of women’s health.
I’m in awe of the potential in our female bodies and passionate about cultivating the creative energy that is meant to run through all aspects of a woman’s life.
I left my job in 2000 to be at home with my first son, and soon after started my own private practice. I loved the freedom of designing my practice of pelvic care to meet women’s needs. It allowed me to be more creative as a professional, to be a present mother, and to offer my services to a wider array of women as my word-of-mouth practice grew exponentially.
I have a master’s degree in physical therapy and many other advanced bodywork trainings, but my real pelvic medicine evolved when I tapped into my ability to read energetic patterns of the body (the more subtle layer beneath the physical). I developed the first model of holistic pelvic care that works in alignment with each woman’s own body and core patterns. Over time, I created my own bodywork practice combining physical and energetic tools called Holistic Pelvic Care™. I am the “mother” of this way of working with the female body and thrilled to be teaching these original methods of Holistic Pelvic Care™ to talented women’s health practitioners across the country and globe. I know first hand the power of this medicine to help women heal and thrive. As the first creator of this way of working with the pelvic bowl, I’ve continued to learn and hone my techniques over 25 years of time and 20,000 women.
I think of myself as providing a bridge between the realms of modern medicine and traditional women’s wisdom so that we can apply this ancient energy to our modern lives. My goal is to teach every woman how to read the physical and energetic patterns of her pelvic bowl and restore access to the full range of creative resources–this beauty and wildness within.
