How friendly are you with your Vagina?
A common question I ask in consultations, but one you may not have thought about recently. I love to ask all the intimate questions about vulvas, vaginas, periods, cervical fluids, itches, irritations, thrush, bladder infections, inflammation, discharge, PMS, libido…. My mission is to support the release of shame & awkwardness for these important Women’s Health issues.
The Vaginal Microbiome is your Intimate Ecology, an intricate & dynamic micro ecosystem that constantly fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle and a woman’s entire life. Your hormones, especially oestrogen, have a direct impact on your Vaginal Health impacting structure & tissue health, libido & Vaginal Microbiome balance. Paying attention to your Vaginal health is essential in times of transition – puberty, menstrual years, pregnancy, menopause transition and our mature years.
I ran into a lovely mumma, who like many of us wasn’t getting enough sleep or time to herself. She loved her vibrant, busy life with 5yr and 3yr old babes keeping her on her toes. But she was suffering every month before her period with vulva and vaginal itching with constant awareness of rawness, pain, itchy and unpleasant discharge. She reached out to me for an Intimate Ecology Consult and shared how this issue was affecting her relationship both with herself and also hubby. She had said goodbye to her libido, was depleted and exhausted, and anxious about living this way.
We worked together for six weeks and after the first two weeks she was excited by the improvements. This Mumma felt her energy levels and comfort change for the better and after four weeks her hubby was chasing me down at the supermarket to let me know ‘the herbs had run out and time to get a refill’!
