When you hear the word uterus, what comes to mind? For most people it’s pregnancy, periods, or pathology. But this small, pear-shaped organ is so much more than that.

Your uterus sits at the very centre of your pelvic bowl — anchored by ligaments, supported by your pelvic floor, and connected to your nervous system in ways that explain why stress, posture, and even your breathing can affect how it feels and functions.

In my latest blog, I explore the uterus across the stages of life: from menarche to menopause, from fertility to post-surgery recovery. We’ll look at how it relates to your bladder and rectum, the role of the nervous system, and the common conditions that affect it — fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, and more. Most importantly, I’ll show you how mindset, nervous system care, and gentle movement can help you support your uterus at any age.
