❤️Valentines/Galentines day❤️ On this day

❤️Valentines/Galentines day❤️
On this day of love we want to send a special message to our friends who are our platonic soul mates.
Without these people life would be boring, hard and just rubbish!
Love, relationships, soul mates they don't have to just be about romance and finding a partner. We can gain so much from many different relationships and they are all equally as important.
So happy valentines day, happy galentines day, happy love day.
Whatever day you are celebrating today, show your valued relationships just how valued they are.
We love yah ❤️

Sex & The Menopause
.
Menopause can feel like a plot twist—changing your body, your confidence, and your connection to intimacy. But here’s the truth: desire doesn’t disappear, and pleasure is still yours to claim!

Join us for a bold and empowering talk with Dr Claire Macaulay, an oncology doctor and menopause specialist who helps women reignite their sensuality.
.
We’ll dive into intimacy, self-love, and feeling good in your skin again—because menopause is not the end of desire, it’s a new beginning.
.
🔥 Got questions? Ask away! This is your chance to get expert advice, share your thoughts, and connect with others on the same journey.
.
No topic is off-limits—let’s have an open, honest, and empowering conversation.
.
Book your place via the website NOW...It’s time to reconnect—with yourself!

Sex post-mastectomy 💋🌶
.
Our co-founders, Christen and Lisa love this topic!
.
Their experience has shown that some lovers can't even tell the difference between boobs and foobs!
.
Regardless, to accept your new body and to know which people deserve to be on the journey with you, all takes time.
.
Be patient, be kind to yourself and do what feels right for you. But, remember to enjoy it. After all, sex is fun, right?!

Mastectomy Monday . Anon. Preventative mastectomy,

Mastectomy Monday
.
Anon. Preventative mastectomy, reconstructed with 510cc, OTM teardrop implants. Nipple sparing.
.
"I’m PALB2, was diagnosed last year after finding a family member had it and told me to get tested, it’s been passed from my father’s side of the family. I decided to go down the double mastectomy and direct to implant route as I didn’t want to have a more complex surgery than a mastectomy was, and the recovery time was quicker which allowed me to get back to work sooner as I’m self employed.
I was all kinds of terrified before the op, and sought help from a psychoanalytical hypnotherapist to help me get my head round it and deal with the stress. Now the op is over and recovery is progressing the pressure is off!
I’m learning to love my new foobs, and whilst it’s a tough lesson to learn to love yourself all over again, it’s opened up so many new things and many laughs along the way. The foobs are still a novelty and cause much discussion in the pub!"
.
Thank you for sharing! We are so pleased that have you are learning to love your new body. It's definitely a process requiring patience and a sense of humour 🥰

In the run up to Valentines Day, let's chat about dating post-mastectomy.
Let's hear from co-founder Lisa as she shares some thoughts from her own experience.
There isn't a 'one size fits all' approach and it will be very much down to you. Do it in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
But remember, you are beautiful, strong and powerful 💋
