About Today’s Speaker:
Gaynor Morgan, inspired by her late mother Carole’s struggle with stress incontinence, founded C&G Medicare Ltd in 2006 and developed the Incostress and IncoLite pessaries, which achieved up to 98% improvement in clinical trials and reduced the need for surgery. She grew her business into Europe’s largest pessary distributor, creating products like Bellecup and earning recognition from pelvic health leaders.
After Brexit and the pandemic led to her company’s closure, Gaynor launched Pelvic Angel, an education platform for medical professionals and patients, drawing on her expertise as a pessary specialist, trainer, and inventor. She now trains clinicians worldwide, advises major manufacturers, produces professional and patient-friendly pessary catalogues, and serves as vice president of the European Women’s Innovator and Inventors Network. Her groundbreaking work has earned her numerous national and international awards for innovation, medical device design, and women’s health advocacy.

Love Dr. Rachael! She is such a gem in the Metro Detroit area. She was my pelvic floor PT during my first pregnancy and postpartum and inspired me to pursue pelvic health certification (coming from an Ortho PT clinic). Iām now working through Holistic Treatment of the Pregnant and Postpartum Body.
Thank you so much for this presentationā¦I am an osteopath and also trained in SER (love love Upledger!)ā¦the piece about āfreezeā related to transgenerational trauma was very informative and a reminder to look furtherā¦I have had a client who lost a baby and when I treated her she felt she needed to give birth to this childā¦and then went back several lives and saw that she had also lost a baby many lives prior! This relieved her of some stressā¦so every piece of the puzzle countsā¦keep the nuggets coming, so appreciative! Best, Judith
Great interview, Lynn and Susanne, for pushing us beyond āhands on, hands inā, confirming our need as therapists, for wide, grounded personal presence for our clients to feel safe and then willing to bring forth those physical/emotional/transgenerational, traumas/beliefs that lead to more complete healing and return to function. Appreciate the shout out, and listened delightfully to two of my favorite teachers and mentors. All of this was gold!
The podcast with Gaynor on pessaries was excellent… I learned so much, Gaynor is a wonderful teacher, giving very succinct and kinesthetic cues to work with our clients and the pessaries. I loved all the little hints she gave to be able to share with clients, even if Iām not the one fitting them. Thank you so much for having Gaynor on.!
