Simple Medicine for Vulvodynia and Vaginismus with Maura Sternberg

The Womb Room Podcast

Vulvodynia and Vaginsmus are fancy terms for vulva and pain, irritation, and constriction -- and this is something that many more of us experience than we might think!

In a context where female pelvic pain is either normalized or pathologized, in my conversation with Maura, we offer a different perspective: that vulva and vaginal discomfort is an invitation for simple, hands on medicine.

In our chat, we explore:

• what these terms mean, and why the medical terminology doesn't mean much to us
• our own respective experiences with painful touch/penetration
• Why hands-on and hands-in pussy work is essential for our health
• Simple practices for supporting our pelvic tissue

Womb Steaming is one of my favorite practices for supporting our pelvic bowl and tissue healing. Download the sovereign steaming guide here!
