Sexual health changes after cancer are common — and treatable.
Pelvic floor & s*xual health therapy can support survivors with:
• Pain during intimacy
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Changes in desire or sensation
• Body image and confidence concerns
• Bladder or bowel changes after treatment
This work is about more than symptoms — it’s about helping survivors feel at home in their bodies again.
💛 We’re proud to offer this specialized care with Erin.

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule — and it doesn’t disappear just because the holidays are over.
For many people impacted by cancer, grief can show up quietly in January: in the stillness, the cold, and the return to routine. This is normal. There is no “right way” to grieve, and no timeline you’re expected to follow.
If you’re carrying loss alongside healing, you’re not alone. Support, reflection, and gentleness still matter — long after the holidays end.
💛 We’re holding space for you.

✨ Why We’re So Excited to Introduce (and Re-Introduce) Erin ✨

We are incredibly proud to now offer pelvic floor and s*xual health therapy for cancer survivors — and even more grateful to do this work with Erin.
Erin (she/her) is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a certified pelvic health PT, and a certified s*xuality counselor who supports clients in rediscovering comfort, confidence, and connection in their bodies and intimate lives after cancer.
Her work is s*x-positive, trauma-informed, and deeply inclusive, offering a safe and affirming space for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, kinky folks, lifestylers, and s*x workers. With a background as a yoga teacher, Erin thoughtfully weaves the mind–body connection into her care, meeting each person exactly where they are.
Sexual health is often overlooked in cancer care — yet it’s a vital part of quality of life, healing, and identity. Being able to offer this level of specialized, compassionate support to survivors is a huge step forward, and one we don’t take lightly.
💛 We’re honored to have Erin as part of our team and excited to make this care accessible to our community.

Navigating Grief During the Holidays
The holiday season can bring a mix of emotions for anyone impacted by cancer — especially when loss is part of your story. In the article “How I Navigate Grief and the Holidays After Cancer Loss,” the author shares a deeply personal reflection on how grief and joy can coexist, how traditions may feel different, and how gentle rituals and self-care can help honor both love and loss this time of year. The piece reminds us that grief is a natural, complex human experience — and that it’s okay to feel both sorrow and gratitude as you move through the season.

What better way to spend your time when it's cold outside than heating things up in the bedroom (or the kitchen, or the living room, or the backyard)?! Try the Intimacy After Dark card deck, which has 6 different sub-decks that let you choose your pleasure-based focus for that day. You may want to spark a s*xually-focused conversation. You may rather lift your partner(s) up and have them lift you up as well. You may want to try teasing each other s*xually, talking flirty and/or even try spicing things up with cards that give you a specific suggestion such as "play with drawing ice over your partner's body" or "pretend you've never met your partner before and seduce them." This card deck can help to get the ball rolling on spicing up your s*x life if this is something you've thinking about. If you then come across some road blocks on your way towards a more fulfilled s*x life, come visit Erin at CRIM in person or via Telehealth.
Intimacy After Dark card deck:

Ignite passion and connection with playful prompts and s*x talk ideas. Perfect for couples looking to explore new dimensions and deepen their intimacy.
