Women often think… “I just need to try harder” or “There’s something wrong with me sexually.”

And what is often overlooked… our pelvic floor is deeply tied to our autonomic nervous system. If you are constantly stressed out, your muscles guard and protect. Touch feels like a threat instead of enjoyable.

This is why the Touched Out Workshop was created: we’ll explore nervous system regulation, how to communicate your physical limits without guilt, and rebuild a foundation where touch feels safe, nourishing, and pleasurable again.

I had a client come to me in tears…

Her marriage was going downhill because they couldn’t be intimate. It was too painful for her.

She had tried all the things. NOTHING was working.

After 2 visits she came back… this time crying tears of joy.

She had pain free intimacy with her partner for the first time in YEARS.

We stopped blaming her pelvic floor as the problem and actually looked at her pelvis instead. Here why ⬇️

Her pelvis lived in an imbalanced position.

The pelvic floor muscles were long on one side and short on the other. Causing pain and tension inside of the vaginal canal during intimacy.

We fixed the ROOT of the issue which was the pelvis being in a poor position and it FIXED her pain with intimacy.

No amount of kegels or strength training can address that.

This is exactly what we cover in the Touched Out workshop.

When it comes to pain during intimacy or pelvic floor tension, the go-to advice is often “just relax” or “strengthen your core.”

But for those of us living in a chronic state of being “touched out,” this advice often misses the mark. It ignores the root of the issue.

We need to address the root cause: Why is the body holding this tension? And how can we teach it to allow touch safely?

This is exactly what we cover in the Touched Out workshop.

They way we breath matters

We want our rib cage to be mobile and move with us as we go through everyday life

We want the air to be pulled into our rib cage and mid back area to keep our ribs moving and re-dome our diaphragm.

We don’t have lungs in our belly.

Belly breathing is not sustainable long term for our everyday movement.

Meaning all belly expansion and no rib movement = angry pelvic floor (eventually)

The respiratory diaphragm and pelvic diaphragm (pelvic floor) work together as we breathe and move.

Our nervous system works with our breath. Every time we inhale our sympathetic nervous system kicks on. Our fight or flight mode. Every time we exhale our parasympathetic nervous system kicks on. Decreasing our heart rate and our blood pressure. Relaxing us.

Many people live in an inhaled state. Meaning their fight or flight mode is on 24/7. Ribs are flared up on both sides and immobile. This can cause a lot of tension and stress down on the pelvic floor.

That’s why every exercise I teach is working with the breath to improve rib mobility/position, pelvic mobility/position, diaphragm position, decrease body tension, get you into a state of relaxation.. to name a few things.

Here’s the number one thing I see every one of my clients that walk into my office struggling with

And here’s how I support them to fix it

Each client needs better rib mobility. Their breathing pattern is off. Their diaphragm isn’t doing its job so the pelvic floor takes on more work.

We start with a simple exercise laying on their belly over an exercise ball.

Release any tension and conform to the ball.

Focus on the inhale moving towards your spine vs down into the ball

It will take practice but this will create rib expansion in the back where the body needs.

If you need guidance apply to work with me 1:1 online or schedule your in-person initial evaluation today to get back to living your best life.

Leak-free & pain-free. You deserve it.
