Information I came across an Australian naturopath who has had Vulvodynia

just thought I’d share this page for anyone whose in the thick of it and needing some hope. during my nightly scroll I came across this young female naturopath who deals with all different kinds of of pelvic/vulva pain. what stood out was her story dealing with her own Vulvodynia and how she overcame it by doing lots of brain rewiring and inner healing/work to regulate her nervous system. like many of us she poured all her money into specialists, holistic therapy, medications etc i love that she was honest about the fact there’s so much more to it than taking some herbal supplements and medication. if this resonates with anyone I think she’s worth a follow.

I look forward to checking her out. Just want to add a related piece of advice my pelvic floor PT gave me that has helped more than any topicals or oral medications I've taken. She told me: "breathe into your left abdominal." (My left side is tighter than my right side.) Something about "aiming" my inhale down deep into my left abdominal muscle relaxes my pelvic floor very deeply, deeper than I can manage to relax when I actually am focusing on my vaginal muscles. Breathing that way actually allowed me to have pain-free sex last week. There is a VERY intense emotional layer to vulvodynia that is just as important to heal as the physical part! Love, light, hope and healing to you all.

I agree! Pelvic floor therapy really helps me so much. I got rid of my burning urethra pain after doing it for a year consistently and learning how to breathe is a game changer too. It’s so easy when you’re in pain or stressed for you to tense up and hold tension without realising. Ah my left side is always tighter too. I follow a pelvic floor program and the lady always says breathe deep into all your holes and it really does help. I’m so happy for you, everyone deserves pain free sex and a fulfilling life with less pain. Sending you healing vibes ❤️

You’re welcome 🤗 I know how hard it is when you’re in the thick of this condition or in a flare and you feel it will never end. But there’s hope
