What the heck is Vulva Mapping?

Vulva Mapping is the Somatic Sexological Bodywork™ method to discover and expand pelvic floor erogenous zones, unwind shame, heal trapped pain, numbness or emotions, build trust and body acceptance, increase anatomy knowledge and create new neurological pathways to pleasure.

Come Again? Exactly. To come again, or even at all, it’s essential to get out of your mind and into your body by activating the embodiment principles of breath, touch, sound, movement, and placement of awareness that are at the foundation of this Sexological Bodywork™ Approach. It’s a process of reclamation to heal your body’s needs so you can be at choice for how you feel, letting go of what no longer serves you, all while awakening erogenous zones that often get ignored.

Ignored anatomy typically lives in the Vulva.

Once a Vulva Mapping is complete, then you can assess where you land on your Pleasure Meter and choose to Remediate a particular area to increase sensation or to heal anything you’ve discovered. Then, you can choose to move onto Vaginal Mapping if you want to continue your journey.

This cannot be done just talking about the issues.

It has to be a felt experience.

How Do We Vulva Map?

You can map any part of your body by expanding and developing your sensations through somatic learning. Soma = of the body. By introducing focused singular touch, spaciousness and stillness to notice what you’re feeling vs. what you are thinking, you’re getting out of the mind and into the body as you practice and develop the ability to assess and listen to your body.

Vulva-Vaginal Mapping is a unique Sexological Bodywork™ genital mapping experience to touching your pelvic floor point by point, bringing stillness, attention and intention to notice what is felt on a physical and emotional sense. You will feel for the potential of pleasure, tenderness, pain, numbness, or neutrality as you identify the sensation of a certain point.

This somatic approach connects sensations & feelings we hold in our body to help unwind what no longer serves us and can expand orgasmic potential. It’s an unfolding process that is a felt experience, which is how we integrate this powerful transformation & new knowledge into our being.

Why Vulva Map?

Vulva Mapping practice empowers vulva owners* to feel Validated, Normalized and to move beyond limitations. It provides a common language to learn what your body needs, an ability to ask for what you want, and the ability to connect more innately with your erotic potential.

It’s different than just looking at a graph and labeling parts. You are integrating this powerful knowledge through felt, Somatic experiences into your being forever. This is the power of Somatic healing and expansion.

*This offering is tailored to anyone with a vulva, regardless of your gender or sexual identity.

**Why you need a guided tour of the place you think you know.**

Do you relate to this? You are craving comfort in your body and are tired of feeling sexually frustrated, embarrassed, broken, or that sex is a chore or not all that it’s cracked up to be.

And because you’ve mastered your professional field, it feels extra frustrating that you feel limited in this area of life that’s supposed to come natural.

Why do I know this? Because I’ve been in your shoes! I was a successful TV producer who finally got the courage to get a divorce from my first husband largely because I wasn’t sexually satisfied. And when I did find satisfaction in my second marriage, multiple miscarriages and health issues led me to feel broken.

In a quest to heal and know my body better (and my husband’s), we worked with a Sexological Bodyworker. The process was so eye-opening, I even decided to become one! I didn’t know there was so much we didn’t know about our bodies and sex! *

Now I routinely do Vulva & Vaginal Mappings as part of my health preservation because my body and needs continually change. This became especially clear when I was having intense pain with penetrative sex due to peri-menopausual issues. Not only did I do my own remediation, but I also did a series of sessions with my Mentor in Sexological Bodywork, Ellen Heed. And, as part of my healing, I taught my hubby how to V-Map me, which is when I coined the term, "Touch, Feel , Connect" because those partnered sessions were among the most intimate, connecting experiences we’ve had. That’s why I made sure my program includes support for couples.

"Touch, Feel , Connect" also applies to our own interactions with our own bodies. There is nothing more sacred and honoring than having a trustworthy and loving relationship with our own genitals. This is a portal to our power, our creativity, our divinity.

“Vulva Mapping is like a guided tour. You’re going on this journey to this place that you haven’t necessarily explored. You’re being guided and witnessed in this very vulnerable way and feeling increased safety in sharing that with somebody else. And, with yourself.”

Vulva Care

I believe that doing our own Vulva-Vaginal Mappings at least twice a year, facilitated by ourselves, our partner, or a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, helps keep our pelvic floor healthy and ahead of the curve in our ever changing bodies. It’s as necessary as going to the dentist for a cleansing twice a year, but a whole lot more fun!

I pride myself on helping nurture my clients’ nervous systems so they feel safe, seen, and validated. This is especially important with the unique and intimate focus of Vulva Mapping. Clients have called me a Vulva Whisperer, a Vulva Tour Guide, and even a Vulva Therapist. Needless to say, they felt safe, accepted, nurtured, and more confident now that they have tools to help them develop agency and prioritize their intimacy.

Even COSMO is talking about Mapping…

I was honored to be included as an expert in Cosmopolitan’s Vaginal Mapping article; however, when I tried to follow their D.I.Y. instructions … uh, well, maybe they kinda missed the point? Check out my humorous video perspective on Cosmo’s instructions. Hopefully, you’ll have a chuckle and then you can tell me ... Vulva? Vagina?

Learn to Speak the Language of Your Body

Language matters.

When language is non-existent, like the word Vulva in our society at large, it has become a non-existent part of the woman’s anatomy that basically gets IGNORED. Not just by her partner, but by herself.

The words Vulva and Vagina cannot be used interchangeably because they are actually different parts of the anatomy. The vulva is the entire exterior region of female genitals that is visible to the eye. And the vagina is essentially a tube inside of the vulva. Each has multiple anatomical structures that are never taught!

What’s the big deal?

Since society has made VAGINA the big prize and our vernacular of choice, it’s what everyone is fixated to get to and therefore, ignore the rest.

So, do you want to know why women tolerate bad sex, have pain, feel numbed out, and don’t feel much pleasure? It’s because things get put in without even a hello, how are you, a little petting. Nada. Zilch.

The nerve endings and erectile tissue that are located in the vulva are undiscovered treasures. Having led dozens of women through mappings, the Vulva always holds the most breakthroughs.
