Quotes

“Returning to intimacy after having a baby does not necessitate penetration and everyone thinks that.” - Dr. Kat Vigo 

“There are plenty of reasons why a postpartum vagina is not set up for success sexually.” - Dr. Kat Vigo 

“Our brains are largely rewired during and after pregnancy and it’s 100% focused on keeping that new baby alive.” - Dr. Kat Vigo

“We as women should be having the best sex of our lives throughout our lives.” - Nikki Spo

“The more we talk about these things the more people are able to ultimately come home to themselves, to feel happy and secure in their bodies and minds, and so that they can go and thrive and be the best versions of themselves.”
