Integrative Womb Hara

Practitioner Training

Internationally Recognised Certified Training.

In-person,Women only training

Limited spaces.

We invite you to join us for this comprehensive training in Womb Hara Integrative Massage.

The womb is the energetic centre of creative life force and feminine energy in the body, where we can birth all of our magical potentials from; whether that is birthing children, projects or ideas, and all that we wish to create in the world.

Our Hara refers to the organs that reside within the abdominal region that provide us with the breath of life that regulates the energy and blood of the whole body. The Hara, like the womb is also a spirit gateway and relates to the energy centres of our solar plexus and sacral chakra. Womb Hara Massage will work to repair, bring balance and restoration to these centres and awaken our life force energy and creative birthing potential in all it’s forms.

Training Pathways

Womb Hara Massage is grounded in ancient healing arts, including Chi Nei Tsang, a Taoist abdominal detox therapy,  and interwoven with trauma-informed bodywork and feminine wisdom traditions. This work honours the teachers, lineages, and ceremonial practices that have shaped it over many years of dedicated study, and lived, embodied experience.

Many of our graduates go on to share this work in fertility clinics, trauma-informed spaces, private healing practices, and world-renowned wellness centres such as Gwingana and Gaia Retreat.

There are three primary pathways that Womb Hara Therapists often deepen into:

– Trauma healing
– Natural fertility & IVF support
– Postpartum care

These pathways can be woven into your own sacred offerings, whether you’re supporting women through conception, tending the layers of trauma held in the body (from birth, sexual imprinting, medical procedures, ancestral grief and more), or guiding postnatal integration. Each pathway
offers a unique and embodied way to meet women where they are,  guided by the ancient
wisdom held in the Womb and Hara.

Massage of the abdominal, sacral and womb areas help to increase the flow of chi, one’s vital life for energy. It supports the clearing of blockages and stagnant energy held within the tissues of the body, while restoring balance to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. You will learn how to bring equilibrium to mind, body and spirit with the unique fusion of bodywork, while also guiding your clients to have a deeper awareness and connection to their womb space and all organs held within the abdominal area.

These deeply healing and nourishing techniques are based on both western and eastern philosophies, to include the ancient Chinese Chi Nei Tsang abdominal/Hara massage.

Areas of focus will be low back, sacral area womb space, reproductive organs, large & small intestines, bladder, upper abdomen and more. It is common for these organs, in these regions to stretch and weaken over time, causing what is called a “dropping”. Over 1/3 of women have some degree of pelvic area prolapse. While 50% of women in Australia, who have had one or more children have been reported to have some degree of prolapse. You will learn how to painlessly guide all muscles and tissues back into their proper position, restoring optimal biological structure and function.

“Thank you, Nat, for such a deeply transformational Womb Hara Massage Training. I entered into this training seeking a deeper understanding and connection with my own body, and what I received was beyond anything I could have imagined. I especially loved the hands-on bodywork, it was the most powerful way to learn. Thank you for creating such a safe container for us all, and for teaching with such grounded wisdom and embodied presence.

This work is profound! I’m so grateful to carry this sacred work, for my own journey and for the women I’ll support.

Thank you Nat, for your passion, your rawness, and your pure heart. You’ve sparked a fire in me that’s so alive. I couldn’t recommend this training more to any woman feeling the call to deepen into womb work and expand her feminine service.”

Judy Tieu

“The Womb Hara Massage training with Nat was absolutely amazing! The knowledge, wisdom, and experience she shared were incredible. I loved how thoughtful Nat was with all the little touches, and the ways she helped make the learning experience easier,  like providing an audio guide for us to use on our own after the training, along with photos and diagrams of each movement in a comprehensive manual.

Everything in this training felt intentional, well-held, and lovingly put together.

Natalie supports you all the way through, and this continues even after the course. She’s such an engaging teacher, supporting all learning styles, and making sure that every student feels confident and competent when they leave the training. I am incredibly grateful for all the beautiful work she offers and shares.”

Healing Begins in the Gut

Our gut wall houses over 70% of the cells that make up our immune system. These learned techniques can also benefit those experiencing IBS, Crohn’s disease, acid reflux, heart burn, indigestion, shallow breathing and deficiency of our yin energy. Most people store emotions of fear, depression, anxiety, anger, and worry within the abdominal region. Feelings of stress, overwhelm, over work, poor food choices, difficulty sleeping, drugs, poor posture all amplify these negative emotions causing a lower of functionality
to the organs held within the abdominal region.

” Deep feminine remembrance is how I would describe the 6-day intensive Womb Hara Massage Course. Reconnecting to the sacredness of our own feminine bodies, and how to heal ourselves and other sisters through touch and intention is what Nat teaches us through this incredible modality she has created. It is a very deep and transformational technique that is highly unique. Nat is a beautiful teacher who is truly embodied and well studied in feminine wisdom traditions and all kinds of body mind spirit modalities. We were also so blessed to have other women health experts come and share their wisdom of complimentary yoni steaming and traditional Hara moxibustion.
I feel so enlivened to share this technique with my clients and loved ones.
Thank you dear sister xx “

Who is Womb Hara Massage for?

Womb Hara Massage is for all women—of all ages, whether you’re on a healing journey, seeking deeper connection with your body, or looking for support with a particular phase of life. This therapeutic and ceremonial bodywork is especially beneficial for those needing support on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.

This work can be profoundly supportive for women who are:

On a fertility journey – wishing to open their conception pathways by releasing tension, emotional blockages, and held trauma within the womb and pelvic bowl. This work helps the body feel safe, receptive, and supported for conception, whether naturally or alongside assisted fertility treatments.

Navigating reproductive health challenges – including conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, painful or irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, or unexplained pelvic discomfort. This gentle and intuitive work supports the body’s innate healing intelligence and can complement other therapeutic approaches.

Healing from trauma – including sexual abuse, birth trauma, miscarriages, abortions, or invasive pelvic/abdominal surgeries. The work is offered with deep respect and sensitivity, creating a safe space for release, restoration, and reconnection with the body.

In postpartum recovery – whether weeks, months, or years after giving birth, supporting women to gently reconnect with their womb and pelvic space, restore vitality, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim their centre after the transformation of birth.

Feeling disconnected from their feminine core – carrying grief, shame, numbness, or disassociation in the womb, pelvis, or heart space. This work invites reconnection, reclamation, and a soft return to self.

Experiencing emotional or mental health challenges – such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or emotional overwhelm. By calming the nervous system and accessing the deeper somatic layers of the body, Womb Hara Massage can offer grounding, emotional regulation, and a sense of inner safety.

Living with gut issues or digestive imbalances – such as constipation, or abdominal tension. The massage supports the enteric nervous system (the “second brain” of the gut), encouraging release, improved digestion, and a return to flow in the belly.

On a spiritual or embodiment path – ready to deepen into feminine wisdom, cyclical awareness, creativity, and intuitive knowing. This work awakens the sacred portals of the womb and hara, reconnecting women with their inner compass and the mysteries of the feminine body.

Womb Hara Massage is gentle, deeply honoring, and trauma-informed. Whether you’re seeking physical healing, emotional release, or spiritual reconnection, this work meets each woman exactly where she is—offering a safe, sacred space for transformation.

Do I need prior experience to learn or receive Womb Hara Massage?

No prior experience is necessary to either receive or learn Womb Hara Massage. This modality is designed to meet each woman exactly where she is, whether you’re completely new to bodywork and healing practices, or you’re a seasoned practitioner looking to deepen your skills.

For those interested in learning to offer Womb Hara Massage, the training is open to all women who feel called to this sacred work. Whether you’re a birth worker, bodyworker, healer, or simply on your own healing journey, you’ll be fully supported to develop the skills, presence, and understanding needed to safely and ethically hold space for others through this practice.

This work is intuitive, embodied, and heart-led, accessible to anyone with the willingness to listen, learn, and honour the depth of this sacred feminine healing art.

Is Womb Hara Massage an internal or external massage?

Womb Hara Massage is a fully external massage. There is no internal vaginal work involved.

This sacred bodywork focuses on the back, sacrum, coccyx, shoulders, womb, and abdominal areas. We work gently and intuitively from the pelvic bone upward towards the soft belly, the womb space, and up to just below the breasts and upper diaphragm.

Women are covered with care and respect at all times, and your comfort and boundaries are always prioritised. This is a deeply held, trauma-informed space that invites your body to soften, release, and open, all while staying fully safe, present, and honoured.

Is this modality certified?

Yes. The Integrative Womb Hara Massage Practitioner Training is internationally certified and recognised by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT).

Upon completion, you will receive a certificate and can obtain insurance through IICT or other recognised complementary therapy insurers, depending on your location.

This allows you to begin offering Womb Hara Massage professionally as a certified practitioner, supported by a recognised and reputable body in the field of holistic therapies.

Can I receive Womb Hara Massage if I’m pregnant or menstruating?

Womb Hara Massage is not recommended during pregnancy or menstruation, as these are times when the womb is engaged in its own delicate and powerful processes that are best left undisturbed.

During pregnancy, we honour the natural changes and heightened sensitivity of the body and womb space. Because this modality works deeply with the energetic and physical layers of the pelvis and abdomen, it is contraindicated to ensure the safety and protection of both mother and baby.

During menstruation, the body is in a natural state of release, and this sacred time is best supported with rest and gentle care. Abdominal massage during bleeding may interfere with this process and can overstimulate the womb, potentially leading to increased discomfort or heavier bleeding.

If you’re unsure about timing or have specific circumstances, you’re welcome to reach out and we can guide you on when it would be most supportive to receive this work.

Can I practice this work professionally after the training?

Yes. Once you complete the full training and certification requirements, you’ll be certified as a Womb Hara Practitioner and able to offer this work professionally.

Our training is internationally recognised and affiliated with IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists), which means you’ll be eligible to gain insurance and be recognised as a professional practitioner in many countries.

Many women go on to weave this modality into their existing work as bodyworkers, doulas, energy healers, therapists, or birth workers, while others begin a brand new path offering this work in their communities. We also provide ongoing support and opportunities for supervision to help you feel confident, grounded, and ethically held in sharing this powerful work with others.

How many case studies do I need to complete to be certified?

To receive your certification as a Womb Hara Practitioner, you’ll need to complete 12 case studies after the in-person training, with 10 of these including moxibustion.

This is an important part of the integration journey, supporting you to deepen your embodiment of the work, build confidence, refine your skills, and receive personalised feedback. It also ensures that you’re offering this practice ethically, safely, and in alignment with its core principles.

You’ll receive clear guidance and a simple structure for completing and submitting your case studies, along with ongoing support as you move through the process.

Do you offer payment plans?

We don’t usually offer payment plans as standard, but we’re open to discussing private arrangements in cases of genuine financial hardship. If this work is deeply calling you and finances are a barrier, please reach out, we’re happy to explore what might be possible.

Do you offer refunds?

Deposits are non-refundable as they secure your place in the training. However, any remaining payments are refundable. We’re also happy to offer the option to transfer your payment to another course or to a future training, should that be a better fit for you.

How much can I charge for a Womb Hara Massage?

Pricing varies depending on your location, experience, and the way you offer your sessions. On average, certified practitioners charge the following rates per session:

  • Australia – AUD $250

  • United Kingdom – £180

  • Europe – €200–220

  • USA – USD $350–450

  • Canada – CAD $300–400

These sessions are often offered as part of a deeper ceremonial healing container, which can also influence pricing. We encourage you to trust your intuition, value your time and energy, and charge in a way that honours the depth of the work you offer.

How do I pay for my deposit?

To begin, you’ll need to complete an application form. Please get in touch with us using the contact form below to request one.
