Pamela Madsen, CEO and founder of Back to the Body: Sensuous Retreats for Women and special guest,  trailblazing Urologist, Dr. Maria Uloko

"10,000 nerve endings in the human clitoris!" ~ one of the leading researchers in the first study on an actual female body!

Dr Maria was one of the first to study the truth about the female clitoris.  Where previously cited 8,000 nerve endings came from studying livestock and attributed to women, Dr. Maria and her team sought the truth.

Together, Pamela and Dr. Maria, will talk about the importance of Vulvar Health across a woman’s lifespan. 

What if the next years were your best years for sex?  The truth and tools for fabulous sex at any age.

Vulvar health and attention to your sexual wellness does not stop after a certain age or menopause! In fact, as women age, their attention often shifts to unique issues like: low libido, vaginal dryness, painful sex, and weight gain due to changing metabolism. What could your wellness look like if you considered your Vulva Health not only as a crucial part of it, but considered it across your lifespan? "
