Ep 30: Reclaiming Our Bodies, Reclaiming Our Pleasure

Ep 30: Reclaiming Our Bodies, Reclaiming Our Pleasure

Author: Natalee Facey August 31, 2021 Duration: 1:18:55

This week's episode with Pleasure Activist, Marisa Sullivan, is now one of my favorites! 

We discussed how absolutely magical the body's anatomy is and the many ways in which it was built for pleasure. We also explored how trauma can inhibit pleasure and conception, and practices Marisa uses to help her clients reclaim both. 

This episode also introduces the Wheel of Consent, a tool which can support you in feeling more empowered in your body, relationship, and birthing experience. And last, but certainly not least, we discussed an ancient healing tool that can support you in both healing sexual trauma and successfully conceiving.

Not an episode you'll want to miss! 

 

Here's how to learn more about Marisa and her work:
