Journey to the Center of You with Vulva gazing

I wrote "Journey to the Center of You" because of what I’ve witnessed over the years as a psychologist, sexologist, and educator. Working closely with patients, clients, and students, I’ve seen how disconnected so many people—especially women—are from their own bodies. I’ve heard countless women speak horrendously about themselves, often echoing messages they’ve absorbed from media, mothers, and men. Many of these unhelpful messages from mothers, often passed down unconsciously, stem from their own struggles with body image and societal expectations, creating a cycle of shame and disconnection that spans generations. These harmful narratives, internalized over time, erode self-worth and create deep disconnection.

This book is my way of offering a pathway back to yourself. With a master’s degree in human sexuality and years of leading women’s groups designed to foster body appreciation, I’ve seen the transformative power of reconnecting with one’s physicality. In my private practice, I work closely with individuals and couples to address the unique challenges they face, helping them heal, build deeper connections, and embrace their authentic selves.

I want to share this expertise and insight with you. "Journey to the Center of You" is for anyone with a vulva who wants to break free from societal conditioning and rediscover their body as a source of wisdom, beauty, and power. Through the practices I outline, you’ll be guided to foster self-love, deepen your self-esteem, and reconnect with the pleasure and safety that come from fully inhabiting your body.

The book focuses on the vulva—not just as a physical part of your body but as a symbolic and sacred gateway to your inner world. This exploration isn’t about conforming to societal ideals but about breaking down the walls of shame and stigma that keep you from thriving.

You’ll move through three transformative phases:

1. Preparation – I’ll help you set intentions, create a safe space, and mentally and emotionally prepare for this journey.

2. The Journey – You’ll engage in intentional exploration of your vulva, shedding societal narratives, and allowing yourself to connect deeply with your body.

3. Integration – Together, we’ll reflect on your insights and explore ways to honor and synthesize this experience into your daily life.

Throughout this process, I emphasize the importance of integration because I know that transformation happens when we take the time to process and honor our experiences. With tools for journaling, reflective practices, and continued support, this phase helps solidify the changes you’ve made.

I wrote this book because I believe deeply in the power of embodiment. When we connect with our bodies, we reclaim our inherent worth and challenge the damaging messages society imposes on us. Through my years of practice, I’ve seen the incredible healing that happens when individuals learn to love and trust their own bodies.

Journey to the Center of You is an invitation to step into that healing and empowerment. It’s time to honor yourself, embrace your unique beauty, and thrive in your body and life. I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Are you ready to take the first step? Let’s begin this journey together.
