Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain Counselling

Chronic pelvic pain and inflammatory conditions like endometriosis can feel frustrating, confusing, and isolating. You may have spent years seeking answers—only to be told it's “all in your head.” Here, your experience is believed, honoured, and explored with compassion.

​

Through holistic, trauma-informed counselling and body-based practices, I help you gently reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and find support that complements your medical care.

understanding pelvic pain

Pelvic pain is complex and often misunderstood. It may be constant or cyclical, dull or sharp, and can affect every aspect of life - from movement to intimacy.

Common contributing conditions include:

  • Endometriosis

  • Adenomyosis

  • Painful periods

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

  • Urinary tract infections or bladder pain

  • Vulvodynia or vulval pain

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

  • Pelvic girdle pain (pregnancy/postpartum)

  • Frozen pelvis (pelvic muscle spasms)

 

These conditions may also be intertwined with past trauma, stress, or emotional suppression—deeply stored in the pelvic region.

compassionate counselling for endometriosis with Nina Isabella

emotional & psychosocial impact

Pain isn’t just physical. It shapes how you live, relate, and see yourself.

You might be experiencing:

  • Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

  • Anxiety, depression, or grief

  • Withdrawal from intimacy or social connection

  • Challenges in romantic or sexual relationships

  • Body image concerns or shame

  • Fatigue and sleep disturbances

  • Reduced ability to work, parent, or care for yourself

 

You’re not alone—and your pain is not just in your body, but also in your nervous system, emotions, and life experience.

  • Pelvic-focused breathwork and body awareness tools
