Most women I work with don’t realise their sexuality is not just something they do, it’s something their brain and body are wired to feel. And for many of us, that wiring has been shaped by early messages of shame, fear, or disconnection.
But here’s the truth:
Your sexual brain isn’t just about sex, it’s about vitality, aliveness, confidence, and connection.
And the best news?
It can be rewired.
What Is the Sexual Brain?
Your sexual brain lives primarily in the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for pleasure, emotion, and memory. This is where desire arises, where bonding happens, and where our capacity to feel alive is shaped.
It includes three key parts:
• The hypothalamus – regulates hormones and arousal
• The amygdala – processes desire, attraction, and emotional response
• The hippocampus – stores sexual and relational memories
So when we talk about rewiring the sexual brain, we’re talking about shifting how these areas respond, from shame or shutdown to receptivity, pleasure, and confidence.
What Gets in the Way?
The prefrontal cortex, your thinking, analysing, judging brain often overrides your pleasure. This is where those inner voices live:
• “Am I doing this right?”
• “What will they think of me?”
• “I shouldn’t want this…”
This part of the brain keeps us performing or over-functioning and disconnected from the body. It cuts off access to the very part of the brain where your pleasure and confidence live.
That’s why cognitive strategies alone don’t create transformation the body must be involved.
Meet Your Pleasure Pathway: The Vagus Nerve
This is where the vagus nerve comes in, a key pathway between your brain and body. It runs from your brainstem, through your heart and lungs, and all the way down into your pelvis.
When we engage the body through breath, sound, and sensation (like in The Fembodiment™ Method), we activate the vagus nerve and create a new feedback loop of safety, openness, and aliveness.
You begin to feel more receptive, not just in intimacy, but in life.
You show up more grounded, more magnetic, more you.
Why Rewiring Matters
Rewiring the sexual brain isn’t about being more “sexual”, it’s about reclaiming the part of you that feels deeply alive.
When this part of the brain is gently awakened, women report:
• Greater confidence in leadership and relationships
• More presence and clarity in daily life and their purpose
• A deeper sense of inner authority and radiance
This is what I call bodyful confidence, a sense of self that is grounded, radiant, and real.
If this speaks to you, if you’re ready to not just talk about embodiment but truly live it, then I invite you to join myself and a small cohort this September for:
The Fembodiment™ Method Facilitator Online Training
This isn’t just an internationally approved training with International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT).
It’s a rewiring of who you believe yourself to be, through your body, your breath, your pleasure, and your inner power.
You’ll learn how to:
• Facilitate powerful, body-led self-empowerment for women
• Reclaim your own sexual aliveness as a source of confidence and success
• Lead from a place that is grounded, magnetic, and unmistakably yours
Join this September and become a woman who leads from the body.
Your sexual brain already knows the way.
