Experiencing pain during sex? It’s not just you - it might be vulvodynia. Chronic vulval pain is not something that’s so easily diagnosed, and in fact, many women don’t even realise they have it. But through searching forums online, Hope Kramer learned how to heal herself after Western Medicine failed to find a cure.

As the founder of the Sex Book Club in Sydney, Hope is on a mission to promote awareness of this debilitating syndrome, and encourage women to openly embrace their sexuality and emotional health.
