FAQs

Yoni Mapping Therapy is not currently right for you if:

You are in the first trimester of pregnancy – after 12 weeks a session is welcome.

You are pregnant and have a history of miscarriage or premature birth – just to be extra safe.

You have recently given birth – please wait until at least 6 weeks postpartum before a session.

You have recently had an operation in the abdominal or pelvic area – please wait at least 6 weeks before a session to give your body a chance to heal.

You are currently in a state of trauma – this modality is not beneficial if you are in a distressed and unstable mental state. Please seek appropriate support if this is the case, such as a body-based trauma therapist.

You are under the age of 18.

Not at all. This modality is first and foremost for YOU to experience YOUR body. There is no spiritual agenda or imposition of beliefs of any kind. Brighid brings in some meditation to support you to drop into your body and your womb, and together you will create an intentional space. This experience will meet you in your level of belief and embodiment regarding your own spirituality.

Absolutely. It is very normal to feel nervous in even considering having a session, let alone booking one, and arriving to one. There will be nerves along the way, and likely excitement, or perhaps fears. Particularly in the days leading up to the session, you may feel heightened emotions, or more intense stories coming up in your mind around the upcoming experience. This is all very normal, and ultimately is just revealing to you how much this matters to you.

There are a few different options, depending on where you’re at on your journey and what your needs are.

For a fully hands off experience of this work, you could have some online sessions with Brighid supporting you to connect to your own body, even learning how to do some self-yoni massage.

If you wish to experience touch and bodywork, but not the internal work, Brighid offers devotional massage, which is a full body experience minus the external/internal yoni touch.

Or, she offers Womb Alchemy Bodywork, which is a full body experience including external touch of the womb and pelvic area.

Having said that, it is not uncommon for women to come for a YMT session and actually find that full penetration is not necessary - that the act of saying ‘no’ and staying at the entrance of the yoni is one of the most powerful things they’ve ever experienced for themselves.

Listen to where your edges are, and reach out with any questions.

Many clients come for only one session - a single session can be so beneficial and provide a real turning point for many women on their path of embodiment and liberation.

However, having multiple sessions is a really powerful commitment that allows you to see progress over time, and cultivate deep, embodied change.

It depends on your intention, and what you’re seeking out of experiencing this work. Committing to your transformation and healing by having multiple sessions can be one of the most empowering decisions you make.

Get in touch with Brighid if you would like to explore what might be possible for you.

If booking multiple sessions, it is recommended that they are around 1-2 months apart.

The term “Yoni Massage” can refer to a variety of practices, depending on who is offering it. For some, it is a gentle pelvic healing massage, which can be a deeply nurturing experience. Others may use the term to describe a session that includes coaching and full-body massage, which can also be beneficial. However, some may use the name "Yoni Massage" for services that are more sexual in nature, or they may associate it with Tantra practices.

What’s clear is that “Yoni Massage” involves some form of massage of the vaginal area, but the specifics can vary widely between practitioners.

If you're considering Yoni Massage, it’s essential to clarify with your practitioner exactly what their services entail. Practitioners may have undergone different types of training, or they may be self-taught. While there are exceptional practitioners in this field, there are also those you should approach with caution. A polished website or impressive credentials don't always guarantee quality. It’s crucial to trust your intuition when choosing a practitioner. If you're uncertain, consider arranging a phone consultation to get a better sense of their approach.

On the other hand, “Yoni Mapping Therapy – The Bliss Method” is a specific, registered modality that focuses on holistic pelvic wellness for women. This approach is exclusively taught to the women listed on this website and is recognised by the IICT. Practitioners undergo a rigorous 6-month training program and adhere to a strict code of conduct, ensuring a high standard of care. These sessions are not about providing a pleasurable experience, but rather about meeting you where you are and offering tools and practices to deepen your connection with your pelvic region. This method honours all aspects of a woman—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and sexual.

Please note that Yoni Mapping Therapy is a 3.5-hour exploration and learning experience, not a sexual service.

As this modality grows in popularity, be aware that others might use the same or similar names, such as "Yoni Mapping Therapy," without having undergone any official training.

For those trained and registered in Yoni Mapping Therapy – The Bliss Method, you can find their information on this website.

It is certainly possible, but Brighid does not (and cannot) claim that Yoni Mapping Therapy treats, prevents, or cures any medical or psychological ailment.

Clients experience a range of benefits from their sessions, many reporting that they notice improvements in their menstrual cycle, emotional healing, mental health, energy levels, libido, body image issues, stress levels, intimacy, self-awareness, motivation for life, boundaries, and many other physical, emotional, mental, or sexual issues.

Many clients acknowledge how a session offers them nourishment on their overall wellbeing and supports their relationship they have to their body, yoni, womb, and pleasure.

Brighid approaches this work not from a place of trying to ‘solve’ or ‘fix’ any problems, or from any place that implies some part of you is ‘broken’.

Brighid’s ethos is around cultivating your sense of wholeness, and coming into connection with your inherent power, worth, and pleasure.

No part of you is broken, missing, or incomplete. All of you is welcome, and worthy of love, connection, and compassion.

Yoni Mapping Therapy will often include external/internal pelvic massage & de-armouring, however not always. In the case of pregnancy, trauma, or physical recovery (or other reasons that may naturally emerge in the bodywork), the internal element of the session will be omitted in order to support your safety and integration.

If you are under the age of 18 you cannot book an Yoni Mapping Therapy session.

No, Yoni Mapping Therapy is not a sexual experience. It is possible that a client may feel pleasurable sensation during the bodywork, as that is the nature of being in a body! However, unlike some yoni massage experiences, there is not a ‘goal’ for a client to experience pleasure or follow any sexual or erotic desires in a session.

Brighid maintains very clear boundaries in her sessions, and holds a high level of integrity as a practitioner of this work.

There is no issue whatsoever if you are bleeding during a session, regarding the session itself. It is not a problem for Brighid as a practitioner, or the impact of the work. It is purely a personal preference as to whether you feel available for a session during your bleed. It can be a very potent time to experience this work, and potentially supportive for you if you experience cramps or pain. However, some clients prefer not to be penetrated during their bleed, or simply do not wish to receive bodywork or touch in any way.

So, it is up to you as to whether you feel open to bodywork or not, the invitation is to feel into whether you feel ‘open’ or ‘contracted’ in your body at the thought of having a session.
