EmBodied Reads: A Monthly Book Circle

EmBodied Reads: A Monthly Book Circle

Join pelvic health physical therapist Dr. Emily Bessemer for a monthly book club that explores the body, its wisdom, and the seasons of a woman’s life. Each month we’ll read a book on pelvic health, embodiment, sexuality, birth and postpartum, menopause, or the spiritual and emotional threads that run through them. Then we’ll gather to talk about it.

Emily will bring her pelvic floor and nervous system perspective to each discussion. We’ll make space for questions, stories, and the things that are hard to say out loud. This is not a lecture or a class. It’s an unhurried circle for reflection, curiosity, and community, and you can share as much or as little as feels right.

Whether you’ve been in Emily’s care or are simply curious, you’re welcome. You don’t need any background in anatomy or physical therapy, and you don’t need to have finished the book to join us.
