Sexual pain is not a life sentence. It’s a signal, one that deserves compassion, clarity, and care. In Sex Without Pain, pelvic health expert Dr. Heather Jeffcoat offers a groundbreaking, stigma-breaking guide for women navigating conditions like vaginismus, vulvodynia, and painful intercourse.
This book is more than a treatment plan—it’s a reclamation of agency, pleasure, and self-trust. Through gentle exercises, trauma-informed tools, and validating insights, Heather empowers readers to reconnect with their bodies and rewrite their intimate narratives.
