I never understood sex. I would always nod along in fake agreement as my friends would rave about orgasms and the pleasure they’d get from sex. I never experienced it. Most of the time I disliked sex and was wishing it was over. Faking orgasms. Remaining silent. Doing whatever the partner wanted to do. Why is sex important anyway? I can do without it, i’m fine without it.

I finally came to the realization that there were a lot of things blocking me from reaching blissful orgasmic sex: sexual trauma, misogyny, violence against women and girls, catholic purity culture, body shame, my conditioning around sex and how it was primarily for men’s pleasure, etc. etc. the list goes on and on. I learned that maybe it’s not that I don’t enjoy sex, maybe I just have never enjoyed the sex that was available to me. I learned that I am allowed to have preferences & I don’t have to like the aggressive-male-oriented sex that I see in pornography. I have finally come to a place where I have a positive relationship with sex and pleasure, & I want to help you get there too. Pleasure and joy is our birthright.

Let’s work together and figure out how to get you the orgasmic blissful love, sex, and pleasure you truly and absolutely deserve.

Dr Laura

Sex, when embraced with freedom & self-honoring, is a reclamation & a way for us to return to our bodies as a place of pleasure, truth, & power.

Sex reduces stress, enhances pelvic floor health, stabilizes our mood, improves muscular + cardiovascular function, promotes connection + resilience, increases self-esteem, & is correlated with a greater overall life satisfaction.

Sex is an act of self-trust + self-celebration that dissolves shame, awakens pleasure, & reminds us that we are worthy of delight simply because we exist.

the goddess in me sees the goddess in you.
