Organic Sexuality Podcast

How can we listen for the deep and authentic wisdom of our body’s inner knowing, whilst benefitting from the expertise of the Western medical paradigm? Dr. Jennifer Lang, an obstetrician and gynecologist with a specialty in gynecologic oncology, shares how her experience of surrendering to the authority of her own body’s wisdom during her natural birth radically changed her approach to obstetrics. We also discuss the vital role of consent – both in the medical setting and in intimate realms – which her 2nd book, “Consent,” explores from the perspective of teen-agers navigating intimacy, sexuality, and honoring their boundaries.

The ancient Thai/Taoist Art of Nuad Karsai, also known as Karsai Nei Tsang, increases the Blood/Qi flow into the genitalia and pelvis naturally, restoring its organic energy flow and in so doing, resolving issues ranging from a lack of lubrication, proper engorgement of the clitoris and labia, low libido and fertility issues in vulva-owners, to erection challenges, ejaculation issues, and low libido in penis-owners. “Coocky” Tassanee Boonsom, founder and teacher at the Loi Kroh Traditional Thai Massage School based in Chiang Mai and one of the most experienced practitioners in these Thai arts, shares her journey of what lead her to becoming trained in these practices, the ability to touch into the energetic consciousness and memories of the client, and the importance of establishing clean energetic boundaries when working with such intimate physical and energetic spaces of a client.

How can we live in harmony with the natural rhythms of our body for activity and restoration, within each day and across the 7-year natural cycles of our lifetime? Kris Gonzalez, Founder of The Way of Yin, shares the TCM perspective of how to cultivate and nourish our precious Jing Qi Essence and when to channel it into vital activity, how one’s vaginal ecology is a reflection of their overall health, and the Three Golden Opportunities for menstruators – all of which influence the vitality and enjoyment of our sexual health and energy.

How has the time-tested practice of Vaginal Steaming, known to efficiently and cost-effectively resolve issues – ranging from menstrual cramps and irregular periods, to cysts and fibroids, to fertility challenges, to a whole host of postpartum issues in dozens of countries around the world, been dismissed by the Western medical model? Keli Garza, founder of Steamy Chick and the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute, shares her journey of leading what has become the premiere resource in data collection and research in the efficacy of Perineal Steaming, including results from the Fourth Trimester Postpartum Study.

Dr. Ellen Heed’s pioneering research and work in scar tissue remediation and management has revealed a largely unaddressed epidemic of painful sex postpartum due to undiagnosed scar tissue obstructing proper lubrication, engorgement, and organ mobility in the pelvis. She explains the importance of accurate assessment via The Four Domains of Health – biochemistry, biomechanics, emotions, and scar tissue – and the role Somatic Recall can play in resolving emotions still held in the scar itself.

Unconscious genital guarding, which can show up as numbness, pain, or a lack of sensation, often occurs within the genitalia and pelvis from a breech of boundaries and nonconsensual sex, but can also develop from non-sexual experiences during childhood, as well as during love-making with loved ones. Susanne Roursgaard, Psychotherapist/Sexologist and Creator of the Gaia Method speaks about her experiences as a mid-wife resolving genital armour with her clients and how these experiences informed her decades of work culminating in The Gaia Method.
