Motherbirth: Getting the Sex, Intimacy, Healing, and Support You Need After Birth

About this Episode

In this episode, we explore healing our bodies and our minds through the uncharted territory that is a woman’s vagina. Guest, Kimberly Johnson, shares how she empowers herself and others to become physically, spiritually, emotionally, and sexually aware of their wants and needs during postpartum and offers empowerment tips for women who want to gain intimacy in their sexual relationships.

After giving birth, Kimberly was told she would need full surgical pelvic reconstruction to heal her pelvic floor. In addition, she had vaginal soreness, hemorrhoids, and lower back pain. Her attempts to gather information about healing herself by way of search engines and forums led her to unfriendly places. A turning point in her healing process came when she met a woman who practiced sexological bodywork.

After three sessions of an integrated practice of hands-on work and nervous system tracking Kimberly started to heal in both body and mind. The positive experience led her to investigate and study a mother’s physiological and emotional needs after birth and Somatic Experience Trauma Resolution Therapy.
