We created this day to give you the things we know make a difference - more spaciousness, a chance to be really heard, love, community, embodied wisdom and the integration of body, mind, & spirit practices that truly get to the heart of the healing journey.

 The Healing Pelvic Pain Workshop will be a profoundly transformational experience that will change your view of what pain means in your life and help you on the path to living the life you desire. 

The Healing Pelvic Pain Workshop is so much more than a medical consult. The day covers all the top-down and bottom-up healing practices discussed in an initial one-on-one consultation with our gynaecologists to help guide you out of pain.

 Key differences between a consultation and this workshop are:

• This is a fully immersive day where you receive education as well as more space, time and support to actually experience powerful practices that start you on the path to integration and transforming your relationship with your body and with pain. 

• You will spend time with expert pelvic floor physiotherapists, renowned yoga and meditation teachers whilst still having one-on-one time with a Vera gynaecologist so that you leave with a practical plan and pathway out of pain.

If you have already booked an initial consultation to see one of our gynaecologists, you do not need to cancel this appointment at this stage. Healing Pelvic Pain will cover much of the education our gynaecologists provide in an initial consult and so much more! At the end of the day, you will have a practical plan and our team will assist with the management of your pre-booked appointment.

The Vera pain team will spend the whole day with you combining cutting-edge pain, endometriosis and nervous system education with embodiment practices that will allow you to start to feel safe in your body. You will be supported by experts, healers and your peers and held in the potent healing natural space of Vera Wellness.  

You will leave this deeply healing day having a knowledge of your body, mind and spirit that you didn't have before and because you will have experienced the power of embodiment, a regulated nervous system and the support of sisterhood you will know in your bones that healing is possible.

Support and healing does not end when you leave Healing Pelvic Pain. Every attendee will leave with a practical plan decided in your one-on-one consultation with Dr Peta Dr Thea, or Dr Georgia, a 3mth subscription to the Ella App, your own copy of Dr Peta’s book and ongoing care over the next two months with online support of the Vera Wellness community. You may also have further consultations.

You will also experience the power of embodiment, a regulated nervous system and feel support and know in your bones that healing is possible.

Note: You will require a GP referral to attend this day (this is to receive a Medicare rebate, if you have a current card).

To get as much as possible out of your day there will be some prerequisite actions. This will help us to have a full picture of your journey up until this point.

Ultrasound:

• You will be sent a request form to book in for a sensitive endometriosis ultrasound prior to the workshop.

Intake Form & Prior Reading

• You will complete a comprehensive intake form that we send all new patients. Please complete this at least 2 days prior to the workshop.

• In early August, we will send you some pre-reading and a pre-workshop journaling practice that will help you join the dots in your story.

Most importantly, join us with an open heart and mind, and know that it is safe to be vulnerable and we are here to support you.

If you have a pre-booked consultation in place already, we will do our very best to make sure that your appointment is with the Vera gynaecologist you booked in with.

Due to scheduling limitations on the day, we unfortunately cannot guarantee choice of practitioner.

A Medicare rebate of up to $84.15 may be available if you have a GP referral to a Vera gynaecologist and a current Medicare card. The rebate will be processed the day after the service has been provided.

If you have already had an initial consultation at Vera with one of our gynaecologists, you will still be eligible for a rebate of $42.30 for a review consultation.

All attendees will receive a three-month subscription to the Ella App, included in their registration (valued at $199.00 AUD). The Ella App is a 6 week evidence-based educational programme for anyone with female pelvic organ anatomy who has experienced persistent pelvic pain for three months or more. It utilises cognitive-behavioural therapy techniques, pain science education, guided breathwork, movement and mindfulness sessions to teach you how to address pain system hypersensitivity and nervous system dysregulation. You can also save your favourite sessions to your Pain Flare Toolkit for when you need it most. 

• An initial consultation at Vera with one of our gynaecologists costs $495 - $520 (Fee increase 1/7/24) for up to 90 minutes.

• Healing Pelvic Pain is a whole immersive day with our pain team which includes education, a treatment plan, embodiment practices and take-home resources for $599.00.

• We understand the financial pressures in the current climate, and as with most of our events we are offering a convenient payment plan to help people with the costs of health care. You can pay in four automatic installments of $149.75, paid fortnightly. We understand the payments will be made after the event and are happy if this means someone who needs and wants to attend can come.
