About us
The idea of this movement came about as we graduated from Professional Certificate in Working with Clients with Vaginismus conducted Dr. Martha Tara Lee, a Relationship Counselor and Clinical Sexologist together. Desiring to make a meaningful impact in the field of vaginismus and recognizing the potential
for collective action, we have decided to work together to create a movement that would raise awareness about vaginismus and provide better support for those affected by this condition.
By leveraging our collective knowledge and skills, we aspire to raise awareness about vaginismus and provide better support for those affected by this condition. As a collective, we aim to create a supportive community where individuals with vaginismus can find understanding, guidance, and resources to overcome their challenges. By pooling our knowledge, skills, and resources, we hope to make a significant difference in the lives of those impacted by vaginismus and contribute to a more inclusive and informed society.
Our values guide everything we do
Empathy: We approach vaginismus with compassion and understanding, recognizing
the unique experiences and challenges faced by those affected.
Inclusivity: We embrace diversity and strive for inclusivity, ensuring that everyone affected by vaginismus feels seen, heard, and supported regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or background.
Education: We believe in the power of knowledge and strive to provide accurate and comprehensive information about vaginismus to dispel myths and misconceptions.
Collaboration: We foster a collaborative community of Sexological bodyworkers,
