WELCOME

​

Hello, my name is Lorraine and this is my husband Joshua. Together we have begun the physical and emotional healing process from painful sex, classified as Vulvodynia, caused by an imbalance of hormones, hyper-sensitive nerves and stress. 

In my experience, conversations surrounding sex are hushed, especially when unmatched to culturally embedded expectations. Queue rapid and catastrophic surges of feeling broken, alone and confused, followed by instant ugly crying.  

​

Resources are scarce, vague and missing key elements, especially when unpacking the nitty gritty details surrounding emotions, spirituality and psychological responses.There is no guide book. There is only experience, the ability to relate, community and support...until their isn't any. 

​

 The purpose of this blog is to share Joshua and I's story, to talk about the awkward, the pain, the "hide your eyes" "close your ears" details because there is a cultural void & absentee voice.

​

Whether you are here for educational purposes, are experiencing similar challenges, or are just curious, your conversation is welcome here. I simply ask you honor each other with respect, compassion, love and joy.
