When Did Sex Get So Complicated?
Maybe sex rarely crosses your mind anymore. Or the desire is there, but your body doesn't
respond the way it used to. And between disrupted sleep, physical discomfort, and everything else life demands, enjoying sex can start to feel like a lot of work.
Perimenopause and menopause can change more than your periods. They can change your experience of desire, arousal, pleasure, intimacy - even how you see yourself.
But here's the thing.
This isn't just about having more sex. It's about wanting to enjoy sex again.

Menopause May Be Changing Your Sex Life.
It Doesn't Have to Define It.
I'm Dr. Brandye Wilson-Manigat, a board-certified OB/GYN and women's sexual wellness coach.
I help women navigating perimenopause and menopause explore the physical, emotional, and relational factors affecting their sexual desire and pleasure—so they can build a more satisfying intimate life on their own terms.
Sometimes, it starts with a new perspective on sex—not settling for less, but discovering how satisfying and pleasurable sex can be in this chapter of life.

GOOD TO KNOW
That's okay. Having everything figured out isn't a prerequisite. We'll discuss what's been happening and whether coaching could be a helpful next step.
Not at all. This session is for women navigating perimenopause or menopause, and the changes in sex, desire, and intimacy that may accompany this stage of life.
Many women have. Sexual desire is influenced by a combination of physical, emotional, psychological, and relational factors. There's rarely one universal solution.
Pain with sex deserves appropriate medical evaluation. Coaching isn't a substitute for medical care, but it may complement that care by addressing other aspects of sexual well-being.
That's understandable. There's no expectation to share anything beyond what feels comfortable.
No. If the program seems like a good fit, I'll explain what working together involves. The decision is entirely yours.
No. This is a conversation about coaching, not a medical consultation, evaluation, or treatment session.
However, as a physician, I also recognize when symptoms may warrant medical evaluation or other treatment. If something you share suggests that medical care should be considered before coaching—or alongside it—we can discuss that as part of identifying the most appropriate next step.
Your Sex life Isn't Over. It May Be Ready for a New Chapter.
Let's explore what that new chapter could look like.
