Start Here: Welcome!
Here is the simple version.
Six weeks. One chapter a week. Each chapter has a handful of short lessons you can work through whenever suits you, whether that is on your lunch break or at 11pm when your brain will not switch off.
This is self paced on purpose. There is no schedule to fall behind on and no homework police. You move at the speed that feels safe for your body.
What makes this different from a generic online program is the one to one support. You are not doing this alone with a screen. At three points along the way you have a telehealth check in with me, where we talk about your situation specifically. If you are a planner, best to book those in now as my calendar does fill up fast! However, make sure they are spaced apart over the 6 weeks. If I see you’ve booked them all in one week - I appreciate the dedication - but this is about learning and implementing over a period of time so the teachings stick! There are telehealth booking links at the bottom of weeks 1, 3, and 6.
A few ground rules that make this work better:
Go in order for the first run through. The weeks build on each other.
Let things land. You do not have to action everything immediately.
Come back to lessons as often as you like. Repetition is part of how the nervous system learns safety.

Your telehealth check ins explained
You have three telehealth check ins built into this Pathway. Think of them as the moments where the general becomes personal.
Check in one sits at the end of Week 1. This is where we get clear on your story, your symptoms, and where you are starting from.
Check in two sits around the end of Week 3. By then you have absorbed a fair bit, so we tailor things to what your body is telling you.
Check in three sits at the end of Week 6. We zoom out, look at what has shifted, and map what comes next for you.
These sessions are private, online, and from wherever you feel most comfortable. No need to perform being fine. Bring the questions you have been too embarrassed to ask anyone else. That is literally what they are for.
A note on safety and your care team
This one is important, so I am saying it plainly.
This course is education and support. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace assessment from a qualified health professional who knows your individual situation.
Sexual pain has many possible causes, and some of them need input from your GP, a gynaecologist, a dermatologist, or other specialists, sometimes alongside your pelvic physiotherapy. Part of the work here is helping you understand when to seek that input and how to ask for it.
You are the main character in your care, and the best outcomes come from a team that actually communicates. I will always encourage you to keep your GP and any treating specialists in the loop.
Please see your doctor promptly if you notice any of the following: new or unexplained bleeding, a lump or skin change you have not had assessed, fever, severe or rapidly worsening pain, or anything that feels alarming to you. Trust that instinct.
This course is for education and general support only. It does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace individual assessment and care from a qualified health professional who knows your situation. If you have symptoms that concern you, please see your GP or treating practitioner. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service.
