Vaginismus, painful sex
Reclaim intimacy, and connection
When it comes to challenges like vaginismus or painful sex, the experience can feel deeply isolating, frustrating, and overwhelming which is often accompanied by shame. These struggles are rarely “just physical” and often hold layers of emotional, psychological, and even societal influence. My approach is to hold space for all of it—your story, your pain, and the unique factors that brought you to this moment—because healing happens when every part of you feels seen, heard, and cared for. Which allows you to release shame around the body and patriarchal violence against it.
Vaginismus and painful intimacy can stem from a variety of causes: past trauma, medical conditions, or internalized messages about sex, safety, and worth. The reasons are unique, often deeply personal and your own. What I offer is a space free of shame, judgment, or expectations— where you can explore these issues with honesty and compassion. This work allows us to not only address the physical discomfort but also to delve into the deeper emotional and subconscious layers where these patterns often originate.
A trauma-informed, holistic approach
Healing in this realm requires gentleness and precision. I specialize in combining trauma-informed care with powerful methodologies such as hypnotherapy, pain coaching, and somatic practices. Together, we’ll explore how your body holds pain and tension, working to understand the messages it’s sending while gently teaching it to feel safe, soft, and open.
This process is deeply collaborative. I don’t assume an expert stance over your experience. Instead, I trust your body’s wisdom and your inner voice to guide the work. My role is to support you with personalized tools, insights, and practices that empower you to reclaim comfort and ease in your body and intimacy.
For many, the causes of painful sex are tied to complex histories—cultural conditioning, past trauma, fear of vulnerability, or a sense of disconnection from the body. Together, we’ll navigate these layers with care and curiosity. I hold space for all the emotions that may arise—grief, anger, shame, even relief—as we move through this process. Every step is taken with your consent, pacing, and comfort as the priority.
This work is not just about overcoming pain.
It’s about rediscovering trust in your body, rebuilding intimacy with yourself, and reconnecting with pleasure on your own terms. Whether this is about restoring a sense of normalcy in your relationships or simply finding peace within yourself, our work together will be focused on what feels most meaningful and healing to you.
This process often includes a powerful journey of rediscovering your own sexuality, redefining what sex means, and reframing how it works. It liberates sexuality from the male gaze, shifts the focus away from male pleasure, and dismantles oppressive patriarchal norms that subtly embed harmful dynamics into sexual experiences. For example, I’ve worked with clients who, while not experiencing pain, were unable to orgasm due to religious trauma and deep body shame. Through this work, they successfully overcome these challenges in just eight weeks, unlocking a new sense of freedom and connection within themselves.
