6. Desire & Sexual Sovereignty

Dr. Saida Désilets, Ph.D, is an international advocate for conscious, integrated sexuality through the understanding of our Erotic Genius. Saida is the world-leading authority in the Jade Egg practice, and founder of the Désilets Method: a system that creates more pleasure, sexual aliveness, and deep self-love. She was a co-contributor to the best-selling books of Dr. Christiane Northrup and Dr. Rachel Abrams. Saida supports women to deeply understand their sensual/sexual nature and encourages them to self-define what sexuality is for themselves.

In this episode, Dr. Saida explains how she came to do her work, after a traumatic sexual experience which led to her being told she had just 2 weeks to live – this was the catalyst that led Dr. Saida on her deep healing journey, and towards reclamation of her body.
