Professional Profile
With over 40 years of experience in gynaecology, psychotherapy, and sexology, I am an expert in vaginismus therapy. I have dedicated my career to guiding women through the fear–pain cycle of vaginismus, helping them move towards confidence, intimacy, and freedom.
As the founder of The Vaginismus Zone I provide direct support for women and am planning an advanced training for healthcare professionals worldwide. My signature program, Breaking Barriers, is a comprehensive therapist-guided desensitization method that integrates medical, psychological, and sexological expertise.
Two academic titles one as a doctor of medicine and one as a Master of Science in TCM ( Traditional Chinese Medicine)
