“I joined thinking functional nutrition was going to heal me, and what I actually needed was the coaching.” - Dr. Rose Schlaff

In the world of women's health and wellness, there's a lot of conversation about pelvic pain, sexual pain, and low libido, especially for women with complex chronic pain and those navigating the stages of life from postpartum to perimenopause. Despite that, the bar is usually set at removing acute pain, and we rarely dig past the point of acceptable sexual experiences.

As women’s health practitioners, we have the opportunity to help our clients fully reach their goals and achieve more pleasurable and connected sexual experiences. Just as we would work with an athlete to restore them to their elite-level function, we can think of sexual health similarly.

Today, I’m joined by Women’s Health Coach Dr. Rose Schlaff to explore how we can better support our clients in optimizing their sexual wellness and achieving their personal goals. Rose’s background in sexual health, pelvic floor physical therapy, and coaching has shown her that by combining modalities, she could honor her purpose and serve clients in a way that created a significant positive impact on them but also supported her mental and physical health.

In this conversation, Rose and I discuss how the pelvic floor and nervous system impact sexual wellness, what it means to optimize sexual wellness, the effects of perimenopause, how chronic conditions affect women's sexual health, how libido changes over a lifespan, simple techniques holistic practitioners can use to better support our clients, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
