Everyone deserves a pain-free, happy, and satisfying sex life. But, whether it’s due to structural or psychological reasons, many women experience painful sex at some point. If you have persistent or recurring genital pain before, during, or after sex, I can help. (In fact, because it can be so liberating, this is one of my favourite things to support women with!)

Frequently Asked Questions About Sexual Health
Not necessarily. Not everyone needs to have an internal pelvic floor physio exam, because we can make very accurate assumptions about the issue by taking an in-depth history. Also, many GP’s are now doing more of an exam instead of just doing a pap test, so there’s no need to duplicate.
But, if you do need an exam, know that it’s a totally normal part of our day. It can even be a good experience! 98% of women comment that they’re very happy having had an exam, because they feel better knowing what’s going on with their Pelvic Floor. Many women say they would prefer not to have an exam initially, but once they start working on a program, they come back and want to confirm what they’re feeling (or not feeling).
I like to keep things simple and give you all of the education and background you need to fully understand why you’re doing each one, so it’ll be hard to do any of the exercises I give you wrong! During your visit, I’ll teach you the exercises and then get you to explain them back to me, because teaching something is one of the best ways to make sure you really know something.
Once you understand why you’re doing an exercise, you’ll easily know when you’re not getting the results you want.
Yes, I can. But also, posture and alignment are actually not as important as we used to think! In fact, Dr. Greg Lehman says that perfect posture doesn’t exist.
