Celebrate Muliebrity with Michelle Lyons

Mindfulness & Pelvic Health: Episode 59 with Dr Lori Brotto


Listen Later

Hello & Welcome To This Week's Episode!

I'm really excited to share the conversation that I recently had with Dr Lori Brotto, and to take a dive into the research around mindfulness & pelvic health

If you're enrolled in my Female Pelvic Pain Rehab or my Female Sexual Dysfunction courses, you'll know that I love the research of Dr Lori Brotto; I think she makes the science around mindfulness & pelvic health clinically useful & accessible

Dr Brotto is a researcher and clinician who has authored over 150 papers on the benefits of mindfulness and she is also the author of one of my most recommended books, 'Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire'

She is a fan of multimodal biopsychosocial approaches to pelvic health, whether we are talking about GSM at menopause, vestibulodynia and sexual health concerns including lack of desire

In this conversation we discuss:

  • what mindfulness is, and how it can significantly affect pelvic health issues, from vestibulodynia to dyspareunia
  • how stress affects desire, and the differences between male an female responses
  • how to incorporate mindfulness when working with people who have vestibulodynia, as part of a multimodal approach
  • why we don't necessarily have to avoid painful touch - teaching people resilience and self-management and what to do in a flare
  • and much more!
  • I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did - I've been practicing and teaching mindfulness for years now but I definitely picked up some more pearls of wisdom here!

    You can find Dr Brotto on Instagram as @drloribrotto and she also features on Masterclass (in the Menopause class) and The Principles of Pleasure on Netflix
