Reclaiming Desire: Where Science Meets Sensuality
About this Event
For decades, conversations about women’s health have focused on symptoms - hot flashes, sleep, weight, hormones.
But what about desire?
What about intimacy, pleasure, connection and the relationship you have with yourself?
For many women, these parts of life begin to shift during their 30s, 40s and beyond. Hormonal changes, stress, motherhood, career demands, changing relationships and the mental load of everyday life can quietly alter how we experience our bodies, our sexuality and our sense of self. Yet few women are ever taught why this happens, or what they can do about it.
Reclaiming Desire was created to change that.
Hosted by NutriChem, this unique evening brings together experts in women’s health, sexuality and nervous system regulation to explore intimacy through both the lens of science and the lived experience of being a woman.
Together, we’ll unpack the physiology behind desire, explore how hormones such as estrogen and testosterone influence arousal and vaginal health, discuss where hormone therapy fits —and where it doesn’t—and discover practical ways to reconnect with pleasure, presence and intimacy at every stage of life.
This is not simply an event about sex.
It’s about understanding your body.
Rediscovering your femininity.
Creating space for desire to evolve.
And joining a community of women having the conversations we’ve too often been taught to keep private.
Throughout the evening you’ll experience evidence-based education, honest conversations, practical demonstrations, an interactive breathwork session designed to help regulate the nervous system and cultivate presence, and a fireside discussion where no question is off limits.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, or simply noticing that intimacy feels different than it once did, you’ll leave feeling informed, empowered and equipped with practical tools to support your health, your intimate relationships and your connection with yourself.
