A Revolution in Women’s Health

The Whole Woman website went live in July of 2003, following publication of Christine Kent’s groundbreaking book, Saving the Whole Woman - Natural Alternatives to Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence (3rd edition coming in 2026). Women from around the world came to the Whole Woman public forum, where Christine taught the principles of the Whole Woman work. Within weeks women of all ages were reporting,

“Oh my gosh, it’s working!”

It soon became apparent that women with chronic hip pain were benefitting from the Whole Woman work as well, so Christine undertook another years-long research project, ultimately resulting in her landmark book Save Your Hips.

She would go on to train Whole Woman Practitioners so more women could benefit from being taught the work one-on-one. To reach even more women, Christine developed a large library of video courses, all of which are based on years of research into the real anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry underlying common women’s health conditions. It is a fact that the medical-pharmaceutical industry does not want women to know about most of the principles that are foundational to Whole Woman.

Christine really showed me how the current paradigm of pelvic care isn't working for women and how her informed community can support the personal lifestyle and movement changes needed to overcome this. This was pivotal in my case, and continues to be a lifeline for me every day. The Whole Woman work sets the guideposts for transformation.

What is a Whole Woman?

About our founder, Christine Kent

A Whole Woman knows she is more than her body, she is a being of spirit and energy.
She is committed to taking responsibility for her life.
She is committed to taking responsibility for her own health.
She does not passively take what she is told by doctors at face value because she understands the medical system is in pursuit of its own interests of money and power, not her interests. She does her own research.
Even when she has been damaged by the medical system, she can still be a Whole Woman because she has learned and grown from the experience.

A Whole Woman understands that of all the demands placed upon her from her partner, family, and work, her first responsibility is self-care, without which she cannot give to others.
A Whole Woman supports the growth and development of other women because she understands that restoring the balance between men and women is essential to stop the devastation of the earth and for human survival.

Testimonials

Christine Kent is on a mission to expose the continuing tragedy of surgical mismanagement of pelvic problems. Her exhaustive and scholarly chronicle of the attempts to improve on female anatomy sends a serious warning: Avoid unnecessary or questionable surgery! Her detailed holistic approach to maintaining and restoring pelvic health reframes perceptions of female anatomy from “ faulty” to “wondrous,” and gives women the key to their own pelvic well-being.

Penny Simkin PT, Childbirth educator, doula and author of The Birth Partner and The Labor Progress Handbook
After over 36 years as an occupational therapist, I had an acute prolapse including difficulty with elimination. I greatly benefitted from Christine’s exercises in only one session at The Whole Woman™ Center. Her book is very thorough anatomically, practical and honest about a very real problem to untold women. The sensible self-help instruction and lifestyle ideas are extremely helpful.

As a surgeon who became enlightened to natural health, I recommend avoiding surgery for the treatment of chronic disorders if there are natural approaches that work just as well, if not better. Christine Kent has made a major contribution to women by compiling a comprehensive researchsupported natural approach to the common problems of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Any woman ready to take charge of her health needs to read this book!

Christine Horner MD, Author of Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner’s Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer, winner of the 2006 IPPY Award for “Best book in health, medicine, and nutrition.”
Women, especially around the time of menopause, are too often advised to have major gynecological surgery for minor conditions that can be significantly improved with natural alternatives. In Saving the Whole Woman, Christine Kent has made an important contribution to women’s health literature by recounting her own story of unnecessary surgery and its effect upon her life. Her research of the medical information on pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence is accurately and clearly presented and can serve as a warning to other women. Her critique of the lack of oversight or scientifically-based criteria for such surgery should be read by every woman and provider of women’s health care.

This updated version of Saving the Whole Woman is a breath of fresh air for thousands of women who have been diagnosed with uterine, bladder, or rectal prolapse. In truth, every woman should know the information in this book to help preserve her innate pelvic power.

Christiane Northrup, MD Author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause, and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.
As a former gynecologic surgeon who came to see the error of his ways, I passionately read “Saving the Whole Woman”. Christine’s work is medically accurate and will bring hope to millions of women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse and who want to avoid surgery. I hope mothers will share this work with their daughters to help them avoid the kind of childbirth experience that sets them up for problems later in life.

Michel Odent MD, Author of Primal Health and The Caesarean Director, Primal Health Research Center
Saving the Whole Woman is a one of a kind book. It provides natural, helpful solutions for women and takes away the stigma often associated with pelvic floor problems. The original research in this book could be lifesaving.

Peggy O’Mara Editor and Publisher, Mothering Magazine
Saving the Whole Woman is a scathing account of the way the medical f ield uses and abuses women’s bodies with regard to surgeries and procedures on the pelvic floor. These medical procedures parallel the mistreatment of women’s bodies in the childbearing year, and in both cases money is often the motivating factor. Christine gives us hope by teaching us about our bodies and how we can prevent or solve problems without medical intervention Give a copy to every woman you know, old or young.

Jan Tritten Founder, Publisher & Editor-n-Chief of Midwifery Today magazine and The Birthkit newsletter
Empowering women with accurate knowledge allows them to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare. For those women who are contemplating urogynecological surgery and for those healthcare practitioners who are advising these women, this new edition of Christine Kent’s Saving the Whole Woman is an essential read. The evidence is substantial; restoring optimal posture and muscle function can prevent and reduce most pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Surgery should not be your first treatment of choice.

Diane Lee Physiotherapist & Author, The Pelvic Girdle
The decision to undergo surgery of any kind is often difficult, so it is often useful to explore other alternatives before moving forward. In Saving the Whole Woman, Christine Kent provides a perspective of other options available to women who have been recommended to undergo pelvic surgery. This book may anger some and empower others.
