Helping you put vaginismus in the past, for good
If you’re anything like me… You didn’t explore your body sexually very much during your life. For me… The times that I did engage in self-pleasure, I felt the need to rush this process. Like I was doing something unacceptable. Instead of surrendering into it, taking my time and approaching pleasure with the goal of …
I was the first… one-on-one client that is. I had endometriosis, I had a hysterectomy, I had phantom pains, I had painful sex. I just had pain. After all of the previous situations I figured pain was the norm and always would be the norm. One night, I was fussing around with the computer putting …
What’s ironic is that for many of us… The very thing that has kept us safe in the world is the thing we NEED to set aside in order to enjoy penetrative sex. That’s right. We’ve grown up in the world where having control over our external circumstances is what has kept us SAFE. That …

Thank you, Katrin, for your genuine desire to hear, see, and encourage others.
