Description
Over a person's life, changes in libido are to be expected but this is especially true when one becomes a parent. This course will discuss how physiological changes postpartum can impact libido and how impairments to the pelvic floor can contribute to sexual dysfunction. We will also talk about how to explore intimacy with yourself and your partner.
