Pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood requires us to navigate new terrain as lovers.

I speak with Claire Ecclestone on how couples can navigate intimacy after birth (post partum and beyond). This expansive, honest and open conversation covers:

• How couples can navigate intimacy and new ways to connect post birth and beyond

• The emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological changes that can occur for both parents post birth

• Anatomical insights on the how the body recovers post birth and supporting intimacy and pleasure in the healing period and beyond

• Creative ways to connect in a time-pressured and tiring lifestyle

• Expanding what is commonly known of intimacy and penetrative sex to non-goal orientated, expansive, creative, sensual and fun ways to approach sexual/intimate connections

• Tips on how to re-wire patterns and behaviours and support commitment to personal pleasure and shared intimacy

• Advice and support for couples experiencing other life transitions such as menopause

• Personal shares about keeping the spark alive in Claire’s 25 year partnership.
