The sexual wellness revolution is here and allbodies.com is leading the charge.

In 2020 for many of us it’s been hard to feel joy, pleasure, and liberation.

It’s been a year that our wounds have resurfaced with viciousness and we’ve questioned who the hell we really are to our core. We have been confronted with our shadow side and gotten a first-class seat to view how it has plagued us for far too long.

Our relationship with our bodies, our sexuality, and our trauma has been one area of our humanity that has needed some examination. Either from our own wisdom coming forth or brought on by events in our private world’s. This has been the moment our Soul’s have been manifesting, particularly those of us who are survivors of sexual assault and trauma.

To meet the needs for healing our wounds around intimacy, ALLBODIES.COM is here to graciously accept the challenge. It is a sexual wellness platform that was born at the right time.

As we enter into the Age of Aquarius while in the midst of the rubble that is 2020, there is an emerging desire for sexual healing. Our intimate lives extend beyond our genitalia and sexual acts, it is imprinted on how we navigate relationships as a whole. After trauma our minds become hardwired to embrace pain versus pleasure. This emerging platform is working sweet overtime to reprogram our mindsets around sexuality and sensuality in the aftermath of trauma.

ALLBODIES.COM has made therapeutic practices accessible to all, front and center in its mission.

It’s homepage boldly proclaims:

“Learn To Feel Good In Your Body”

Allbodies is a new approach to healthcare.

On the platform one can attend virtual events and enroll in short online classes.

Mapping Emotions To Release Trauma

The credentialed practitioners that lead the events and classes at allbodies represent a diverse cross section of genders and ethnic groups with a heavy lean towards women of color.

When many underrepresented individuals decide to take on the emotional trek of unpacking their sexual trauma, the landscape often looks very white cis-genered and heterosexual. The white folx tend to be the ones highlighted by media and other platforms as the only ones seeking sex therapy and as the available practitioners themselves. This narrative has played out for eons and has impacted the strides that underrepresented people could have been making in the way of healing their trauma.

At allbodies, representation matters and they are working to dismantle the bill of goods that we’ve been sold around therapy. ALL of us deserve healing, connection to our bodies, and nourishment, BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) and other underrepresented groups are no exception.

And in an effort to live that ethos, if you are a Black individual you can sign up for a membership to allbodies for free. Your complimentary membership is valid for one year.

They also offer a 7 day free trial for others and after that the monthly fee is only $17.99.

This shout out of an article wouldn’t be complete without a mention of their INSTAGRAM account.

It is straight fire. Full of irresistible knowledge on our bodies, our sex, our desires, our traumas, and our healing. The visuals are incredibly inclusive. No one has been left behind. Simply stunning imagery.

As we march into 2021 a community centered and healing forward platform such as ALLBODIES.COM, will without a doubt lead to your personal alchemy as a sexual being and expand the needed discussion around the sexual wellness revolution.
