This is how I came to be an expert on vaginismus
Originally, I am from England and grew up bilingual, as my mother was from Germany and my father was British. At the age of 16, I moved to Germany.
I studied human medicine in Germany (Cologne University) and became a doctor and went on to become a specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics. I have been living in the Netherlands since 1999,and continue to work in Germany - I cross the border daily.
I opened my practice as a gynaecologist, over 25 years ago (in 1994) and realised that I needed much more than what I had learned during my training as a specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics to effectively help my patients. That´s why, I pursued further education.
Over the years, I have developed my own therapy method for the treatment of vaginismus.
Vaginismus Therapy Dr. Julia Reeve®
and written a self-help book for women:
"Living With(out) Sex - The Secret to Solving a Big F*cking Problem" also known under the name "The Vaginismus Book"
I wouldn't have been able to develop this therapy approach without my various studies and the valuable feedback from my patients. Through trial and error, I have evolved my therapy to where it stands today.
The real "aha moment" came when I went through a flight phobia training myself and realized that this is the best way to treat vaginismus, namely desensitization. However, an important component of my therapy is also the involvement of a partner, if available.
Since I never touch my patients, online therapy works very well!
