### **A New Era For Whole Woman**
**On December 21, 2024, Christine Kent's husband, Lanny Goodman, the wizard behind the Whole Woman website, anything tech as well as all customer service, passed away. Christine is not able to manage the Whole Woman business as it is currently configured without him and needs time to grieve his loss.**
**We are working on a way to simplify Christine's work and continue to share it with the world, but will need to take down the site temporarily during Whole Woman's rebirth.  If you have recently purchased online products or need any information from this site, please access it as soon as possible as it may be several months before we are back online. We will be taking down the current site on January 15th.**
**We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and we so appreciate your support over the many years.**
**We will send an email to our list when our simplified approach is back online!**
**With love and gratitude.**

Born in Boston, Lanny was the son of two distinguished scientists, his father a nuclear physicist, and his mother a cultural anthropologist. Lanny attended first grade in Japan, where his parents had traveled to work asFulbright Fellows. The family moved to Houston, Texas, where he attended St. John’s School, an experience that left an indelible mark on his worldview and career as an independent thinker.
Upon graduating from Beloit College with a fine arts degree, Lanny began a fine jewelry manufacturing business in San Diego, California. After a few years he sold his share of the business and started a sail loft, making custom sails for the local sailing community.
While earning his MBA, a chance meeting with a friend of his father’s resulted in his 30-year-long career as a management consultant. A designer by nature, Lanny worked with CEOs to create self-managing companies that harness the full talent and potential of all their employees.
Author of two masterful books, *The End of Management* and *Becoming -**Evolving in a World that Holds Us Back* (seedcraftpublishing.com), Lanny deeply touched the lives of all those fortunate enough to have known him.
He is survived by his wife Christine, daughters Jenessa and Lillian, step- children Arien and Nikelle, eight grandchildren, and his sister Gaye. He is dearly missed.
### A few of the professional endorsements my work has received...
*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.

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 former gynecologic surgeon who came to see the error 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, London
*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 field 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.

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 choice.
**Diane Lee**
Physiotherapist & Author *The Pelvic Girdle*
Christine Ann 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.

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 research-supported 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 FACS**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”.
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.

Christine Kent has written a definitive book on the holistic approach to pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence for women. She exposes the risks and failures of surgical therapies and gives women alternatives in managing these issues and regaining a sense of their whole beings. Thank you Christine!

Every woman deserves and needs to know the vital information Christine has amassed in this book.

I believe in the importance and the bravery of this book and hope that it will save women’s lives and sanity.

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.
