Its a bit about sex but its also a bit about life

Hello!

Most of you have worked with me at least to some capacity and know I like to gather education like a squirrel gathers acorns through the summer- often at a very high risk of falling down rabbit holes for months at a time. In fact, I just met with a client who took a little trip down one with me talking about training barefoot.

In that same vein, I have something exciting to share.

About three years ago, I went to a conference and heard a lecture about a physical therapist’s role in sexual health. Honestly, it hooked me. And sparked another serious deep dive era in my life. For the last several years, I have been profoundly active with learning more about how I could support people with their sexual health better- reading tons of books, absorbing lots of content, taking many, many courses- related to sexual wellness and pleasure in a broader sense.

I think it has naturally started to show up more often in my sessions, but I have not quite articulated what it is I am trying to do, publicly.

Lately, I have noticed more people are talking about their discomfort with sex, their libido changes, how their health affects their desire. They’ve also been talking about how hard it is to prioritize their own pleasure in and out of the bedroom.

To me this conversation is much deeper than what happens when they are having sex. And it made me think why not me? Why shouldn’t the person helping you with the pain, help you thrive after the pain has subsided?

When I started doing pelvic physical therapy the big messaging around sex is simply- “get women out of pain.”

That’s it.

And you know what?

I don’t think that’s enough.

I think it’s an important step. But not only should sex not be painful, it is also an opportunity for pleasure and connection with oneself and partner(s). I’d even be so bold as to say they can still experience pleasure even when they are experiencing some pain.

As a patient, you may have noticed some changes especially if you have been visiting for a while. I have recently (in early August) finished up a Sexuality Counseling certification program. I find that I have, without much harsh intention, been integrating what I had learned over the several months of the program into my sessions.

I have also been curious what might be helpful for those of you that may have “graduated” and out of pain but are still needing some tools to help make sex great again (or like most of us- learning how to have pleasurable sex in the first place).

What I am envisioning:

I am opening up a couple virtual slots per week for dedicated sexual wellness counseling. In these sessions, we will step into coaching and learning role to troubleshoot exactly where you are, break down barriers and bridge the gap to where you want to be.

• The Format: 100% virtual, 1 hour in length, and completely secure from the comfort of your home.

  
  

• The Founding Pilot Rate: While my standard in-person evaluations will sit at my standard rate, I am piloting these 2 virtual slots for past and current clients at $175 per session.

  
  

• Full Disclosure: I am a clinical specialist, but not a sex therapist or a mental health provider. My goal is to work with you exactly where you are to help you access more pleasurable sex. If deeper trauma or past influences are at play, I promise to guide you into the hands of a trusted mental health professional.

  
  

Get in Touch

If you are interested or are currently a patient, please know I am here for you. If you are curious or a “graduated” patient that could benefit from some conversations around your sexual wellness- I am here for you anytime.

See you soon,
