You are allowed to revel in your doing nothingness. In fact my hunch is that it’s much more effective when you do! If sadness or anger needs to come they will. You don’t have to make anything happen. Just do whatever it is that feels good to you. #healyourbody #womenshealth

Put time into reclaiming your vulva. Not only because it’s an important part of relieving #pelvicpain, but because all women and girls deserve to love their body – all of their body – including you. #womenshealth

Imagine stepping into a world where you can’t think the thought I have to lose weight. Just for a few minutes allow yourself to go there. Who are you being in your life when you love yourself EXACTLY the way you are? My hunch is you’re happier and you have more energy. #mindbody

Find a way to make peace with where you are. Whether it’s soothing affirmations, trusting life, or simply breathing and letting go. Spend time finding what it is that helps you drop the struggle, because it’s the struggle that is keeping you stuck. #mindbody #womenshealth

Spending regular time nourishing yourself with pleasure is not only the fast track to relieving #pelvicpain, painful sex, and other discomfort; it’s the path to full sexual freedom, connection, empowerment, and joy. And who doesn’t want that? I invite you to begin exploring.

Your body is totally AMAZING, infinitely intelligent, and 100% on your side. Your body does have guidance for you. You just have to learn how to really listen. What does your body want you to know about healing #vulvodynia or #pelvicpain…or about anything else?

“Pleasure is an essential nutrient that you need, each and every day, to become and remain healthy.” - Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

One really effective way to accept where you are, #pelvicpain symptoms and all, so you can start calming down your nervous system, is to start reminding yourself that it’s just “For Now.” It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in pain, you’re not going to be in pain forever.

When you discover that you can trust your body, things get clear fast. You will KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt what your body is telling you. And you will also know that listening is the only option if you want to heal and live a joyful life. #womenshealth #womeninpain

You’re going to have to start honoring your emotions and your needs, speaking up, trusting your gut and living your joy. There’s no other option if you want lasting relief. You have a big beautiful life to live! It’s time. And it’s the only way to get out of pain. #womenshealth

Changing your mindset requires practice, and persistence. It is a process of phasing out unhelpful neural pathways and creating new more helpful ones. This process is similar to building a muscle. It takes time and requires practice and repetition. #mindbody #womenshealth

I had been frantically searching for solutions. Going from doctor to doctor. Worrying I was never going to enjoy sex again. Angry that no one knew what was going on, and feeling damaged. I could feel how much stress and anxiety this was causing in my body and my life. #mindbody

What I see with my clients is that mind body tools are more effective than medication at helping you feel safe in your body – which calms your nervous system and relieves the downward spiral that leads to anxiety – all without the side effects that medications can have. #mindbody

Partnering with your body and following it’s guidance will transform your life. It may not be easy, but it's a lot easier than you think it will be, and it will not only lead to pain relief…. It will lead to FREEDOM and JOY. It’s TOTALLY worth it! #mindbody #womenshealth

Take a dance break! Turn up the music and move your body any way it wants to move. Music is energy and can quickly shift our energy to a higher frequency. Music is a great way to move emotional energy so you can get back into the flow. #mindbody #womenshealth

Our inclination is to run from uncomfortable sensations. You want to allow the uncomfortable sensations and be present with them. To counteract your instinct to run, start by choosing to bring your attention into your body. Take some nice gentle breaths into your low belly.

From a medical system that has a lack of understanding of female sexuality to a masculine based culture that subordinates and rejects the feminine at every turn. We are round pegs trying to fit ourselves into square holes – all day long every day. Our whole lives. #womenshealth

“I had been in severe pain almost nonstop for five years before finding Lorraine's program. It has changed my life in so many ways and it is so worth it! The tools she teaches can apply to any kind of pain, but I appreciate the focus on pelvic pain.” - L.B. #pelvicpain

Working with your thoughts and emotions, understanding your body’s language and the mind body connection is an important foundation for optimal healing and relief – whether your symptoms are 100% mind body or not. It reconnects you with YOU. #mindbody #painrelief
