You Don't Need Another Procedure, You Need Another Way
Have you ever been sitting in a doctor's office, hearing the word "surgery" and feeling your heart sink?
I have. And during the check-up after it, I heard it again!
Here’s something crucial I discovered on my own journey: just because conventional medicine sees one solution doesn’t mean there aren’t other, more gentle ways forward. It’s not about rejecting medical care, but rather embracing deeper, more holistic truths your body already holds.
When the System Had No Answer, I Created My Own
A month after giving birth, the doctors told me I needed surgery because pieces of placenta remained in my uterus. After undergoing surgery, I was devastated to learn there were still remnants left. Another surgery seemed inevitable. I asked myself, “How many more surgeries will I need to endure?” My doctor had no answer, only expressing dissatisfaction with her colleagues’ previous work and advising me simply to wait and come back in a few weeks.
My emotional state was overwhelming. Navigating the early weeks of motherhood as a highly sensitive individual, learning to breastfeed, coping with constant coccyx pain, and adapting to the challenging circumstances of the COVID era, all while facing the looming threat of yet another surgery, was incredibly intense. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t find this difficult.
But deep down, I refused to believe that another operation was my only path.
Guided by Women Who Knew More
I turned towards trusted people who truly understood my overall state and holistic healing. A beloved family friend and aromatherapist guided me first.
She provided specific herbal remedies and gentle abdominal massage techniques.
She also directed me to another specialist in a holistic center, where I was welcomed even with my newborn in tow. The super educated and experienced therapist carefully reviewed my case. She asked about all the details, I was able to communicate all my fears openly, while nursing my baby. Then together, we began an intensive, gentle healing journey.
I began using Chinese herbal therapy, specifically crafted to cleanse and harmonize my uterus.
I attended craniosacral biodynamics sessions, a gentle therapy supporting the body’s innate healing intelligence by soothing my nervous system.
Every day, I diligently practiced the Mojžíšová Method - a therapeutic regimen designed to support my pelvic health and overall balance.
And crucially, I actively communicated with my body, thanking my organs for their strength and resilience. They just created and gave birth to a baby for god’s sake! I was deliberately reassuring myself that surgery would not be needed again, that I am healthy. I was using these mantras whenever I started to spiral in fear and future scenarios, meaning many times a day.
The Depth of Healing You Can’t Always See
I have to say, that absolutely nothing visible happened. There was no bleeding, no pain, nothing tangible. But this intensive gentle and deeply personalized approach changed everything.
Just a month later, an ultrasound revealed my uterus was completely clean. And the reaction of my doctor? She never even asked how I achieved this result.
The joy and relief were so overwhelming, I did not focus on her but on myself. I was so happy and proud of myself. I could finally focus on my baby only and not live in a fear of constant surgery threat.
It’s incredible how one medical professional had no solutions beyond surgery, while another holistic practitioner provided exactly the compassionate, effective support I needed. It showed me clearly: our healing doesn’t have to rely solely on invasive procedures or passive waiting. There is usually not just one approach that miraculously heals everything. Healing is a complex process and it is in our hands (and minds, and bodies).
The Quiet Power of Choosing Your Own Healing Path
Your body is speaking to you, it’s asking for deeper care. And your sensitivity to feel and transform this language is your strength, your guide, your gift.
This experience taught me there are always other ways to heal, and these ways often honor our emotional and physical truths more fully than conventional paths alone.
I share my story not only because it brought profound relief but because I deeply believe you deserve to find the same clarity, support, and empowerment.
If you feel there might be another way for you too, trust that feeling.
Let’s discover it together.
Can You Find Yourself in This Story?
If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, uncertain, or more confused than when you entered, you’re not alone.
If you’ve been told to:
wait,
watch,
take pills
hope for a miracle
accept the status quo of your issue
undergo invasive procedure
without understanding the full picture, please know that the system wasn’t made for you.
My personal experience taught me this the hard way, and I’ve been searching for spaces more tailored for deeply feeling women ever since. When I was facing the possibility of a second surgery just weeks after giving birth, what I needed most was not another intervention. I needed someone to listen. I needed options that didn’t break me. I needed to feel that my body could be trusted again. I needed to be supported in an incredibly vulnerable situation. (Not cut open.)
That shift from being a passive patient to an active participant in my own healing, changed everything.
You may be highly sensitive, but that doesn’t mean you’re fragile. It means your system processes deeply. And when given the right inputs like compassion, space, informed care, and time, it responds.
Healing doesn’t always begin with a prescription. It begins when you recognize your body as an intelligent, complex, self-healing organism. When someone finally asks you the right questions. When the support around you matches your inner capacity.
This story is mine, but the principle applies broadly: you are not broken. Your pain isn’t imaginary. And there are ways forward that respect both your sensitivity and your logic.
And now, there’s a space designed to reflect that truth:
Sensitive Enough Movement
This private, paid space within my publication More Than Enough is a gentle home for those who have always felt more, carried more, and sensed more than most. It’s a space for sensitive women who are ready to explore a healing path that respects their lived experience and inner wisdom.
Inside, I share what actually helped me, what didn’t, and what I’ve never said anywhere else. You’ll find insights that are hard-won and stories that make space for your own.
You’ll find real experiences, not quick fixes. Depth instead of noise. A rhythm you can return to when everything else feels too much.
If your body is feeling it - that’s enough.
Come join me inside.
Your pace and possibilities are sacred. That’s why More Than Enough, my main publication, will remain open and free so you can return to it whenever you need support. I’ll keep writing and sharing stories, insights, and reminders that your sensitivity matters. That your pain is real. That your body can be trusted.
Happy to have you here.
