Welcome to my virtual therapy room!  I am Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and this is Sex Spoken Here. Remember that this podcast deals with adult themes so if you don’t have privacy you might wish to put on your headphones.
Today I am continuing my series about the care and feeding of the vagina.
Joining me today to continue the discussion is Michele Brookhaus RSHom(NA), CCH, passionately embraces her mission as Yoni whisperer and soother of all things feminine. As Creator of Yoni Bliss, a homeopathic medicinal as well as a personal exploration and healing of both the physical and metaphysical vulva/womb, she fiercely acknowledges the power of the Yoni to direct and defend woman’s innate creativity and capacity for unbounded pleasure, wisdom and satisfaction.
20 years a homeopath and healer she studies with world renowned teachers in the fields of homeopathy, energy healing, neurolinguistic programming and other modalities. She loves honing her skills and is a healer of healers and mentor of mentors.
As a thought leader picked up by Huffington Post, Prevention, the Good Men Project, as well as Thought Catalogue, The Vaccine Reaction and Yahoo Parenting, she is tickled to find herself on the forefront of women’s empowerment, helping women remember and find the truth in, and the possibility of pleasure, fun and satisfaction.
Yoni Bliss chose her as CEO (chief exhilaration officer),  because she has come to KNOW that enough is enough. Her own Yoni has rooted her in this knowing. And so she offers not just a product, but classes, retreats, individual sessions both virtually and in person for women wishing to know this for themselves. Sensual, Wise, Satisfied, that’s her call to you.
 Michele lives in the Pacific Northwest, and her 23 year old inspirational son does too (though far enough away so she doesn’t bug him too much0  She loves Bikram yoga, Salsa dancing, and listening to her Yoni.
 
We started talking about the vagina, sex and lubrication and all the things that can impact upon lubrication at different parts of our lives.  We moved on to talking about the differences between women’s vaginas, clitorises and the fact that so many women have no idea that each woman is different. 
 Michele spoke about the homeopathic remedies in Yonis Bliss – Chamomile that helps calm the nervous system and promote relaxation in particular. 
We spoke about the use of arnica (though it is not in this product) to tame pain and bruises and reduce swelling and Michele said she thought it would be interesting to put this remedy in a lube. I said it would be excellent for rough sex, anal sex and BDSM. 
 We spoke about the days when women’s encounter groups were common and that more intimacy was encouraged and Michele talked about noticing more retreats now that focus on women learning about their bodies and their own desire.    We spoke about teaching women in a different way with an emphasis on the sacred feminine, starting from a place of learning their bodies, learning desire, banishing shame and looking at inviting others into their garden, their intimate places.  We highlighted the fact that this didn’t necessarily mean passivity.  Michele spoke of the strong boundaries that Yoni can set and that women have strength that feels different from the strength of men.  I mentioned that inviting someone in does not preclude power exchange, BDSM or rough sex.  Inviting someone in is the place where consent is discussed and given.
 
We spoke about healing from sexual trauma and creating a healthy sex life and how coaching and body working and energy work methods can take someone beyond the place straight forward talk therapy can take them.
