What to Expect at
Your First Session
When you first come to Back in My Body Therapies, you'll receive a Sexual Health & Pain Screener to complete in your own time. Your first initial session will be approximately 60 to 90 minutes long.
We'll use your screener as a starting point to explore your health history, understanding what's been happening, what you've already tried, and what you actually want to change. There's no rushing through this part.
The more I understand about your experience, the better placed I am to help.
From there, we'll start to build a picture together and map out a plan that's genuinely tailored to your goals. Depending on how much we cover in that first session, we may also begin some initial assessment work but sometimes there's a lot to unpack together.
There is no physical examination involved.
Appointments are available via telehealth or in person on the Sunshine Coast, QLD.
