Pleasure Upgrade

A 6 week self led course for midlife women to reboot confidence in and out of the bedroom.

Have you ever felt...

Have you ever felt lost, out of touch, out dated, invisible, or like you no longer know your purpose in the world?

Sometimes it can feel like menopause has robbed you of your confidence, both in and out of the bedroom as you struggle with a multitude of all of the usual symptoms. During this time it can feel as though you’ve lost your spark, giving in to fatigue, low libido and low mood.

It’s OK, you’re not the only one, I can assure you that you aren’t the first woman to feel this way in midlife, and sadly you won’t be the last. How do I know this? Because I too have felt all of these emotions and thought all of these negative thoughts.

I’m not here to tell you that it’s as simple a flicking a switch and all of your worries will vanish, it takes work and a deep dedication to yourself and your wellbeing, but it WILL GET BETTER and I am a testament to that.

I have felt invisible…

I have felt unseen, unwanted, my confidence has been at rock bottom, as my body and hormones changed my libido plummeted. I was constantly stuck inside my own head, worrying about the future and the next item on a todo list, dreaming of the past and my youth with nostalgia, finding no joy in the present moment, and as a result missing it entirely. In midlife my tolerance for stress seemed to vanish, fatigue and low libido set it and I felt drained of all joy.

I had done all of the things I thought were expected of me – being the perfect mother, the dutiful wife, people pleasing and saying yes when I really meant no, I had suppressed my own desires and needs. It was unsurprising that I lost my confidence in all forms. During moments of intimacy I was constantly in my head, second guessing myself and feeling uncomfortable, both physically and mentally. I didn’t have the tools to know how to communicate my desires, both in and out of the bedroom. I turned away from intimacy. I didn’t want to be seen or touched and I was too busy to prioritise my self care.

PLEASURE SHOULD HAVE NO AGE LIMIT

Moving out of the fog...

Slowly over time I began to rediscover myself, to connect to my desires. I developed tools and learnt to find the pleasure in the everyday moments, to wake up and instead of feeling a sense of dread or groundhog day, to feel hopeful and empowered to move forward, doing things that I had never previously thought possible.

I felt a responsibility to harness these tools and learnings, make them more accessible and share them with busy midlife women. I’m now a certified life coach, health coach, menopause coach and sexuality coach and after 15 years of experience guiding women to reconnect with their inner confidence through the use of coaching, bolstered by nervous system regulation and somatic experiencing I have combined all of my knowledge and learnt experience in this course that enables you to feel seen.

Imagine...

Imagine feeling comfortable in your own skin, taking pride in your appearance again, looking in the mirror, I mean really looking in the mirror, and feeling a sense of love, pride and gratitude for yourself and your body.

Thoughts of perceived inadequacies melted away, being able to live and feel alive in the present moment. Feeling desire and desirable again. A reinvigorated thirst for pleasure. A deep self love and real confidence.

What would that look like for you? Wearing clothes that you’ve long since boxed up? Long conversations with a partner that hold the spark of sexual tension and desire? Or simply a newfound appreciation of the small moments, like taking pleasure in your morning coffee?

This course will get you there.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “I didn't have time for pleasure.”

    Before I started this course I was sure I didn't have time for 'pleasure'. In fact the word, very rarely even featured in my vocabulary! However, this extraordinary course created by Gabriella changed that, and subsequently transformed my life.

  • “I was sad when the course ended"

    I learnt so much about our female anatomy and still use the embodiment and breathing practices myself and with my children almost a year on. I felt a great sadness when the course came to a close. It became a critical part of my self support system.

  • “It made me more fulfilled.”

    Gabriella is an incredible teacher/guide. This course opened me to exploring, prioritising my own pleasure throughout my life. It gave me an understanding and made me a better and more fulfilled person for myself and others.

  • “I have eliminated a lot of shame.”

    My relationship to pleasure is now different from taking this course…I prioritise it. I have eliminated a lot of shame. I found it incredibly liberating to be able to discuss topics which have been seen as taboo in society for such a long time.

  • "Go for it!"

    I would tell anyone considering the course to Go for it! You will learn and experience so much about what pleasure is and should be for a woman, especially in midlife. It's a wonderful space for self-discovery, self-love and discussion. Thank you Gabriella!
