SEXUAL PAIN
Is sexual pain stopping you from engaging intimately with your partner, or keeping you from seeking out partnerships?
Is sexual pain keeping you from starting a family? Then you have come to the right place.
We have treated sexual pain for more than 20 years, and we have developed a protocol for treatment that works every time.
I have seen women who have had sexual pain for a few years to a few months—-Overcoming sexual pain protocol works for everyone.
-
“Overcoming sexual pain” is a protocol I developed after working women for more than two decades. The protocol follows very specific treatments that address the pelvic floor muscle and changes that occur in your central nervous system (CNS) due to sexual pain. The protcol follows a precise routine that adddresses pevlc floor muscle dysfunction, CNS upregulation and orthopedic dysfunction to allow you to engage in painfree and successful inttercourse.

Treatment depends on what is causing your pain.
I priortize treatment based on what is driving your pain symptoms-pelvic floor muscle, a disrupted relationship of your pelvic floor muscle with your mind, or an underlying pelvic dysfunction--and sometimes all three!
Answers to some common questions about treatment:What is Your Approach to Sexual and Pelvic Pain?
My approach targets the root causes of sexual pain by addressing both the physical and neurological components. I focus on restoring the vital connection between the pelvic floor muscles and the brain. Through my work, I recognized that even after resolving pelvic floor dysfunction, many women still faced challenges with intimacy. This insight inspired me to develop the transformative "Overcoming Sexual Pain Protocol."
What is the Protocol for “Overcoming Sexual Pain”?
The "Overcoming Sexual Pain Protocol" is a structured, step-by-step process that simultaneously treats pelvic floor dysfunction and the brain’s response to pain and intimacy. It’s designed to empower women to move beyond pain and embrace confidence in their intimate lives.
What is Your Evaluation Process?
In our first session, I perform a comprehensive assessment to uncover the root cause of your pain. This includes:
A thorough medical history review.
Orthopedic assessments of your back, sacroiliac joint, and hips.
A pelvic floor muscle evaluation.
Screening for vulvovaginal conditions.
Open, collaborative discussions about your therapy goals and desired outcomes.
Do I Need a Partner to Attend Therapy?
Not at all! Therapy is entirely individualized and doesn’t require a partner. However, if you’re in a relationship, involving your partner can enhance the therapeutic process and foster deeper connection and understanding.
What if I Have Fear of Pelvic Exams?
I completely understand that pelvic exams can be a source of anxiety for many women. With extensive experience in treating pelvic pain, I am committed to ensuring your comfort and agency throughout every step of treatment.
The "Overcoming Sexual Pain Protocol" is centered on your empowerment—giving you full control over your therapy. If pelvic exams feel intolerable, I offer a hands-off or patient-guided approach, allowing you to progress at a pace that feels right for you.

Top 4 Myths About Sexual Pain
1. Painful sex can be fixed by simply stretching the vagina
While vaginal dilators are a common approach, they alone are not a comprehensive solution for painful sex. Many patients have used dilators for years without achieving pain-free intercourse. Treating sexual pain involves a holistic approach that addresses the mind, pelvic floor muscles, and modifications to sexual activity with your partner.
2. Painful sex gets better if you continue having sex
This myth can lead to worsening symptoms. Repeated attempts at painful penetrative intercourse can cause increased tension in the pelvic floor muscles, exacerbating the discomfort. Addressing the underlying causes is essential to improve your sexual experience.
3. Painful sex is caused by arranged marriage
While trust, affection, and familiarity with a partner are critical for a fulfilling sexual relationship, arranged marriage itself does not cause sexual pain. Many women who have found their partner on their own also report sexual pain. Effective treatment involves working on addressing pelvic floor muscles and their relationship to the brain.
4. Painful sex will get better after having a child
This misconception stems from the belief that painful sex results from insufficient vaginal stretching. However, giving birth or engaging in penetrative sex does not automatically resolve the issue. In fact, it can sometimes worsen the problem if the pelvic floor muscles become less able to relax due to fear or anticipation of pain. Comprehensive treatment addresses both the pelvic floor muscles and teaches your techniques to let go of fear and anticipation of pain.
