Helping you put vaginismus in the past, for good
Hi, My Name Is Katrin
I Overcame Vaginismus And Want To Help You Do The Same

I wanted to beat vaginismus, but my unconscious mind and my body didn't cooperate for years. 

From the age of 18 to 22, penetration meant sharp and unexplainable pain. I either put up a wall making it impossible to let my partner in, intercourse was too painful to continue, or I tolerated the torture to the extreme of silent tears.

Sure, the fun in foreplay was fantastic, but I started to loathe where it was leading...

Do you know what I mean?

Throughout my 23rd year of life, I was still searching for the drive to fool around sexually.

Although I didn't have a group of people to confide in who could relate, I often got lucky with loving and supportive partners. Most knew about my struggles, while with others I foolishly chose to pretend I was okay.

I was embarrassed to share my secret with more people than absolutely necessary....

At the same time, I was desperately motivating myself to remain calm and stay positive.

After going down many different paths looking for a solution, finding disappointment at every turn, I eventually created the recipe to success.
 
At 24, I achieved pain free sex! My expectation of pain was replaced with excitement to explore the variety in intimacy.

I started communicating my desires, welcoming the fun that came with penetration and taking an active role in the bedroom.

I found freedom and it was so worth it!

I survived the rollercoaster ride that I once thought would last forever...

I travelled from the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced... through the confusion, embarrassment and guilt... and finally arrived at the joy of unconstrained sexual fun.

Now I'd like to share my recipe to success with you.

And because I know it's way harder going through it alone, I created a community to help you confidently walk along YOUR path to sexual freedom.
Back in the day, if you told her she’ll be helping people live a life full of pleasure...

Katrin would have created an excel spreadsheet outlining why you must have her confused with someone else. On that top of that list would be the #1 reason why this career change wasn’t for her…

She wasn’t living a life full of pleasure herself! And some days, her experience of vaginismus had her convinced she never would…

Oh so much has changed!
Here’s A Recap Of Katrin's Journey...

Katrin lived life in a very logical, left-brained, structured way...

She was a trained perfectionist, which went hand in hand with becoming a high performer, a 'go-getter', an 'alpha woman'.

Following the well-trodden, safe path her sister took, she too became a designated Chartered Professional Accountant... Which was wonderful in many ways but equally soul sucking!

As she climbed the corporate ladder and tried to hide vaginismus under the rug, she avoided making self-care a priority...

And if she indulged in sexual pleasure for a little while, she was just reminded that her body was betraying her! On top of that, her inner voice said, "You should be doing something productive right now". Taking a break meant she was falling behind.

To put vaginismus in her past, she had to engage in a journey of relinquishing control. Of healing from her past, finding safety in her body and surrendering to the unknown. She accessed the messy, free and wild part of herself that had been buried deep inside... She allowed her vulnerability and softness to be a source of joy, strength AND productivity! She started to enjoy relaxation.

Even though she ranked as a top performer at the largest Big 4 accounting firm in the world, she resigned once she realized that helping people on a personal level would be 1000% more fulfilling!

Now, what she finds joy in is helping YOU enjoy a sex life, free of shame, suppression and physical pain... To create an amazing intimate relationship with yourself - rooted in safety, self-acceptance and love. Compassion AND passion!

Because you deserve to feel loved and utterly alive!

Me. Why Me?
This isn't about me.

So I'm not going to tell you all about why you should choose me to support you in your journey to becoming pain free and intimate...

But the question stands. "Why me, damn it?" And I bet YOU've been asking it. Almost every day.

How do I know? I found myself lying in bed, contemplating the reason for my misery.

I was giving in to feelings of sadness. Frustration. Pain.

"Why did this happen to me?"

"What did I do wrong?!"

"This isn't fair."

Being the odd one out, like a bystander in the game of sexual intercourse... It sucks, to say it lightly.

It's not your fault. None of it is.

Unfortunately, you have the cards you were dealt...
Now you get to choose how to play them. You CAN take control of your circumstances and become stronger than ever. 

For yourself. For your experience of dating. For your lover, boyfriend, or husband. For your confidence. For your sanity. 

For your happiness?

Only you have the power to overcome this. To choose to see this stage of your life as just that. A stage. In the grand scheme of things, this is a sliver of time in which you get to pick respect, joy and love for yourself.

Your sexual freedom awaits. Your resilience will get you there.

You CAN take action.

You can put yourself first and discover an intimate new world of possibilities. 

Why you?

I don't know why. But I know you can get through this.

Will you take a step in the right direction?
But Really, What ARE Your Qualifications?
I love that you’re being cautious in your journey by asking this question. 

After all, you've got to make sure that who you engage to help along the way is the best possible option for you! You have always deserved the highest quality of support and shouldn't need to deal with any more challenges than are already present by the very nature of vaginismus...
I am not a therapist by profession.
I started sharing online from my own 6 year experience of vaginismus, from trying PIV sex for the first time to the moment it was pain-free. 

And of course my growth with actually creating a deeply fulfilling sex life (and finding my sexual confidence) continued from there, which I believe is a MASSIVE part of what’s missing in how the medical system often approaches healing! Naturally, we have all grown up in a shame-steep culture around sex and pleasure, so it’s crucial that the entirety of the journey TO pleasurable penetrative sex is infused with a celebration of eroticism itself!

Knowing that I would have done anything to help my younger self, I steered away my previous career in the corporate world as a 'put together business woman' who stored a lot of stress in her body… And made it my mission to change the narrative for you. So I learned a ton about healing in the context of emotional trauma, physical relaxation, pleasure and sex!

I did the research to understand human behaviour, the mind to body connection, our nervous system and the impact of trauma as it relates to vaginismus... 
But most importantly, I experienced it all in my own body. 
I discovered and tested more healing modalities than I can remember. 

That led me to training as a TRE® Provider and PSYCH-K® Practitioner to help with tension and trauma release, down-regulating the nervous system and subconscious healing - all practices that I swear by. I do consider myself well-versed in trauma informed care (and will forever keep learning!), and I also recognize situations in which other trauma professionals are better suited to help. 

I DON'T pretend to have all the answers, as I hated when my doctors did (to protect their own ego)... I'm not afraid to say 'I don't know' and you bet I will make it a priority to find out. 
I now consider myself a guide on the journey of overcoming vaginismus and sexual liberation as a whole! 
I confidently lead you through the path that I myself have taken... It's a holistic approach based on 3 pillars - emotional healing, finding and embracing your authentic sexual self and physical healing.

So I invite you to take the leap of faith and arm yourself with my support!

And if going through this journey together doesn't resonate for you, I’m a big believer that everyone finds the best fitted path for them… You’re also on the right track!
This Is What People Who Have Worked With Katrin In Other Realms Are Saying
"Her ability to stay calm and inspire others"

"I think a trait really unique to Katrin is her ability to stay calm and inspire others under even the toughest and most demanding situations. I found that whenever I’ve worked with her over the last two years she has always had an attitude that communicated that she knew what she was doing and that everything was going to be okay. During a project when everyone was freaking out at times, she always seemed calm and composed. This helped and inspired me." - J.
"She puts care into everything she does"

"Katrin has many unique capabilities, but to name one I believe it would be caring. She puts care into everything she does. When I required coaching on the work assigned to me she put in the effort to ensure I completely understood in such a way that was both motivating and informative. I honestly believe that the care and dedication that Katrin puts into both her work and building relationships with others is what she naturally does better than most people. She has left a lasting impression on me due to her care and excitement for life!" - M.
"Katrin is a natural teacher"

"I think Katrin is a natural teacher. It seems that she loves teaching and coaching. She's very patient and takes her time to explain things clearly and thoroughly." - M.
"She is a very honest and deep person"

"I think her unique capability is that she is a very honest and deep person, as cheesy as that sounds. I think it is something that is becoming more rare and Katrin can easily open up with people and have them do the same to her, with much less effort than others." - F.
"Those around her don't feel judged"

"I believe that Katrin has an incredible ability to keep an open mind in many situations. I haven't had a time yet when she did not listen to my or others' point of view first before stating her opinion. Not many people have this open-mindedness skill, as it is difficult to hear someone out while already having a set opinion on a topic. With this ability, those around her don't feel judged and instead feel comfortable to share many things with her." - Y.
"Can always engage in a meaningful and memorable conversation"

"I would say her unique ability would be mediating and communicating with a huge variety of personalities and professions. No matter who she's in a room with, she can always engage in a meaningful and memorable conversation, which makes her very empathetic and a very good mediator." - N.
"I've never seen her dwell on a negative aspect"

"Katrin is naturally able to give off positive energy and create a more upbeat situation. I’ve never seen her dwell on a negative aspect! This to me is her unique capability. I feel like positivity comes naturally to her." - R.
"Empathetic and compassionate view of the world and others"

"Her unique capability in my opinion is that she is able to combine logical and quantitative intelligence with an empathetic and compassionate view of the world and others. Most people tend to lean much more on one side but Katrin has strengths in both. What she does naturally better than others I would say is taking in information (listening) and applying both a logical and empathetic solution (advice)." - E.
