Free Yourself from Vulvodynia and Pelvic Pain
To Women Suffering With Vulvodynia, Pain during Sex, Interstitial Cystitis, Pudendal Neuralgia, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and Other Pelvic or Sexual pain…
You can relieve your pain.
Dear beautiful, amazing woman,
I understand what it’s like when you’ve seen doctors and specialists, and tried alternative treatments and remedies without finding any lasting relief.
When you’ve spent countless hours researching and surfing the internet for answers, and still the intolerable burning and pain are there – maybe constantly or maybe in response to things like exercise, sex, walking, sitting, using the bathroom or wearing clothing.
It’s hard to think or focus on anything else when your symptoms are there. It’s draining your energy and making it impossible for you to do the things you used to love to do. The idea of having sex makes you so anxious that you have a hard time enjoying physical intimacy at all.
You’re so frustrated you want to scream!
Perhaps your mind is spinning with questions like:
“What if I’m going to feel like this for the rest of my life?”
“What if I’m never going to be able to enjoy sex again?”
“What if no one wants to be with me? How can I have children or take care of the ones I have?”
“What’s wrong with me? I’m letting everyone down.”
“Why hasn’t anything I’ve tried worked for me?”
It’s an endless exhausting struggle.
Maybe you can relate?
If so, it’s likely that you’re living with anxiety or depression and an overwhelming sense of frustration and hopelessness.
On top of all of this you may feel too embarrassed to share what you’re going through with many people at all and so you feel isolated and alone.
I want you to know that…….
You Are Not Alone and it’s NOT YOUR FAULT.
Millions of women suffer with pelvic pain.
Research studies find that as many as 16% of women in the US suffer from vulvodynia at some point in their lives, and that’s just vulvodynia. When you include other chronic pelvic pain syndromes like interstitial cystitis, pudendal neuralgia, pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, and vaginismus, that estimate goes way up. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 15% of women of childbearing age in the US and 14-32% of women worldwide suffer from chronic pelvic pain.
And I can tell you from my own experience and the experiences of many of my clients that there are still far too many medical providers who don’t know how to treat it.
If your doctor has told you “it’s all in your head”, that you’ll have to live with it, or hasn’t given you any effective solutions, you’re not alone!
Western medicine – as amazing as it is at identifying and treating acute conditions – falls short when it comes to the trickier chronic pain syndromes like vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, pain during sex, pudendal neuralgia, pain that persists after UTIs and yeast infections, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pelvic pain.
Why?
Your body is not a machine.
What’s going on with your thoughts and emotions has a direct physiological impact on your body – the muscles, nerves, tissues, and other systems.
Research supports this.
True, lasting and effective healing can only come from addressing all of these aspects of who you are.
This is not a new idea.
It’s been around for THOUSANDS OF YEARS in many different cultures. In fact, western medicine is the newest form of medicine and it is THE ONLY one to separate the Body from the Mind, Spirit and Emotions.
Western medicine is just beginning to catch up.
What does this mean?
It means that even though current medical approaches may not have not have helped you, and even if nothing you’ve tried up to this point has worked…
You CAN Still Relieve Your Pain.
And not only relieve it, but go on to live a rich, rewarding, joy-filled life!
You just have to learn HOW.
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Lorraine Faehndrich, Women’s Pelvic Health and Pain Relief Coach. I’ve been where you are now and I can help.
I’ve relieved pelvic pain and over the past 13+ years have helped over one thousand women do the same.
It’s not a quick fix. I don’t have a pill or a solution that’s going to bring you instant relief.
What I do have is a reliable, effective, and evidence-based program specifically to help women relieve chronic pelvic and sexual pain. It will help you reconnect to your body, learn how to use your mind in ways that help you heal, understand and feel your emotions, and as a result calm your nervous system, (including established pain pathways), relieve chronic stress and tension, and find lasting relief.
Before I share all the exciting details of my program, let me tell you a little bit about who I am and why I can help you.
My Own Journey to the Other Side of Vulvodynia…
It all started in my 20s. I left a successful career because my body was breaking down. I was exhausted, depressed, and suffering with severe migraines and anxiety. I made a decision to start following my heart and my joy, and to my amazement my body healed. The migraines, depression and anxiety went away. I started feeling genuinely happy.
With such a dramatic shift in my health, I wanted to understand this connection between my mind, body, spirit and emotions…and their impact on my life.
So, I studied yoga and meditation, nutrition and naturopathic medicine. I became a massage therapist and life coach and helped hundreds of men and women connect to their bodies, relieve tension and pain, and discover more joy in their lives.
And then vulvar pain turned my life upside down.
First came chronic yeast infections, then pain during sex, and eventually a constant burning and pain that none of my doctors could help me with, and that was not only preventing me from having sex, but from exercising, traveling, making plans, and doing everything else I enjoyed.
As my fear, frustration and despair increased, I realized that my only option was to turn inward and ask my body what it needed. I stopped and listened deeply, applied what I learned, and my body healed.
The pain went away.
After that I dove deep into learning more about the connection between the mind and body, pain science and neuropathic pain; about how to release fearful thinking and the physiological stress it causes; about how to process emotions in healthy ways and calm an overstimulated nervous system; about how to reclaim pleasure and sensuality; about how to connect to your soul and discover your truth…and about how doing ALL of this RELIEVES stress, tension, anxiety, and PAIN.
And, since healing vulvodynia myself and helping over one thousand women relieve every type of chronic pelvic pain and reclaim the amazing joyful lives they deserve… I’m passionate about using what I’ve learned to help you find freedom and relief too!
The Mind Body Program for Relieving Vulvodynia and Chronic Pelvic Pain
In this CUTTING-EDGE PELVIC PAIN RELIEF PROGRAM I am going to share with you the exact same steps I used myself and with over 1000 women to not only relieve pelvic pain but create a more joyful and magical life!
But that’s not all.
I will walk you through the tools you need to overcome worry and fearful thinking about your symptoms and your future, release anxiety and tension, understand how your body is communicating with you, access the healing power of your emotions, and connect to your truth and inner wisdom.

Why will this program work when nothing else has?
These tools and concepts have worked for me, and they’ve helped hundreds of other women. This program addresses the root cause of chronic pelvic pain….in a way that no other program or treatment I know of does. Without addressing the mental and emotional patterns underlying your pain, it’s unlikely that anything else you’ve tried or will try could be 100% successful – including medical treatments, PT, diet changes, energy work, acupuncture, and mindfulness techniques).
Mind Body principles have been helping people heal their bodies and relieve their pain for 1000’s of years!
Assuming you have seen a doctor and have no underlying medical condition or irreversible tissue damage, if you practice these tools, apply the concepts, and give yourself the time you need to learn the skills and integrate the principles into your life. While I cannot guarantee results, I am confident that you can not only experience relief, but improve the quality of your life as you do!
AND, you have a risk free trial period to check it out and see what you think. So, you have nothing to lose!
What if I’ve already tried another mind body approach and didn’t get the results I expected?
Will this program work for other kinds of pain and health issues?
The underlying cause for all of these is often a state of imbalance, mostly due to being dissociated from your body and it’s wisdom (and living in your mind). When you learn how to lead your mind, connect to your body to hear its messages, consciously relax your nervous system, and connect to your soul, you will improve your health overall!
And not only that, you’ll be happier, more confident, and live your life with more passion.
How much time do I need to do the program?
The 10 module Healing Female Pain course will be delivered over your first 12-weeks in the program. After that you’ll have an additional 3 months of support in our community, so you can truly go at your own pace and have all the support you need!
While it’s important to engage with the program, pushing yourself and working hard are completely counterproductive for pain relief and healing. This is why I’m including 6 months of community support. I want you to have the spaciousness to choose the pace that works for you. One of the first things I will support you with in this program is taking pressure off yourself and practicing in a way that fits into your life and feels good to you – because that is what will actually yield the best and quickest results.
What if I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. (ie. I can't relax/meditate/visualize. OR My patterns are too ingrained.)
What if there are physical reasons for my pain?
But that is almost never the case!
Here’s the thing….muscles can tense and nerves can be compressed, and hormones can change, and there doesn’t have to be pain. In fact, x-rays of people who don’t have back pain show similar physical “abnormalities” as those with pain. And in the realm of pelvic pain, for example, there is no correlation between surgical findings in endometriosis and levels of pain. In other words, more lesions does not mean more pain. So, clearly there is something else going on.
All pain is created in the brain, and addressing the factors that cause your brain to create pain is going to help relieve it, even when there are accompanying physical issues.
I’ve seen this over and over again with my clients.
Are my symptoms mind body?
In my opinion, a mind body approach can (and should) be part of EVERY treatment plan for pelvic pain…Not only because the skills you develop will calm your nervous system and relax tension in your body (both of which contribute to healing and relief of even “purely physical” health issues), but because it improves your frame of mind and as a result your quality of life as you do.
If you’re wondering if your symptoms are mind body, here are some things to ask yourself:
- Do you tend to be very self-critical or hard on yourself?
- Do you put pressure on yourself to do things perfectly?
- Does nothing you do feel good enough? You just can’t seem to do it “right”.
- Are you an emotion stuffer or dumper? Do you find ways to avoid feeling or dealing with emotions, whether it’s through activities like overeating, internet surfing, or reacting – or mental activity such as worrying, analyzing, problem solving, obsessing, etc.?
- Do you feel disconnected from your sexuality? Do you carry unresolved shame, fear, or negative conditioning around your sexual self from your family, culture, religion or negative past experiences?
- Have you tried to relax, decrease stress, feel your emotions, or think more positively, and ended up feeling frustrated or confused about how to do it?
- Do you struggle with fear, anxiety or catastrophizing around your symptoms or other things in your life?
- Do you have a history of different types of mysterious pain or health issues at different points in your life.
- Did you have a stressful or emotional experience (or a series of stressful or emotional experiences) preceding the onset of your pain?
If you’ve answered yes to any of the above, there is a very good chance that a mind body approach will help you relieve your pain!
What if I can't make the live calls or have to miss a call?
When are the group coaching calls?
Our community calls are twice per month usually on Wednesdays at 1 pm ET. We post calls for the next 90 days ahead of time so you’ll always have several months of calls already scheduled when you join and as you go through the program. Can’t make the live calls? No problem! All calls will be recorded and available for you to listen to as often as you like. Ask your questions ahead of time in our private community, and then listen to the answers at your convenience.

I also want to thank all of the ladies in our group for their questions and participation. I learned so much from all the questions everyone submitted. So many times I couldn’t figure out how to put my questions/thoughts into words, and then someone would ask exactly what I was wanting to know. Thank you for also being so open and sharing your vulnerability; I know how hard that is.
