Maria's Story
Did you know that the pudental nerve is the nerve that enervates the pelvic floor? It is the nerve responsible for the pleasure associated with sex and orgasm. And, the origin of this word means, "parts to be ashamed of"? I didn't know this. At least not until I learned it from Kathy!
My journey with sexual and pelvic health issues and pain began in 2007 when I was treated for an acute flare up of an auto-immune condition that I did not know I had, until it nearly killed me. A side effect from the treatment to save my life, I developed dyspareunia and premature ovarian failure. The global impact of this personally has been profound and has taken me years through my own healing to talk about publicly. Enter, meeting Kathy.
By joining this series, you will learn from the literally the best, Kathy Kates, FNP. She is a published author and co-creator of Beyond the Kegel™, a foundational pelvic health course for healthcare providers. She ran a women’s health program for a decade and didn't think about the pelvic floor until she had dyspareunia while going through breast cancer treatment. She is now devoted to revolutionizing the pelvic exam. She is known as the low libido and orgasm queen and deeply respected for her contributions to changing the paradigm for women's relationship to their bodies and healing, especially dispelling shame.
Kathy is dedicated to demystifying pelvic health and available as a partner to support your patients/clients. Through her, I have learned and grown immensely in my capacity to care for my clients/patients facing sexual and pelvic health sensitives. From being empowered through these webinars, I have noticed my increased ability to hold space for clients to share, some about matters they have never before felt able to share with anyone. Sex at all, let alone, its related pain can be incredibly uncomfortable to talk about. I am already the kind of therapist my clients tend to feel comfortable "going there" with and sharing anything. But, the work with Kathy has brought this even deeper. She is an invaluable resource I am honored to host. The more I learn from Kathy, the more empowered I feel to hold deeper space for healing.
You'll want to learn from her too.
