I’m interested in sparking conversations about the things we typically avoid when it comes to sex. Right now, I’m particularly focused on sex after cancer.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience – including learning how to reconnect with my body and sexuality after cancer treatment.
I work with women to revive their libido, rebuild body confidence, and create a sex life that strengthens their relationship.
A week ago, I found out news I was truly hoping I would dodge. That the tumour that’s the size of a small football – growing next to my heart – is cancerous.
This season of articles are dedicated to all those who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Here’s why.
Whilst I was recovering from chemotherapy treatment, I was contacted online by a woman called Emma…

The reason why I wanted to take part in this project is because I’ve learned that these stories can really help other people. You might be able to see yourself in someone else’s story and feel inspired by how that person has moved forward. Our community is constantly asking for more real life stories – so from my point of view, the more of them out there, the better.
A collection of stories written by women about how their sexuality was affected by the ups and downs of modern life’s challenges. They’re personal. Expressed in their own words. To start conversations we should all be having.
